ok here's the story, My backyard is finally done. i will be planting fruit trees and whatnot in the near future. For some reason cats and racooms love to take shits in my yard. what can i do to stop this. i've tried numerous things and am getting very tired of having to clean their shit up. right now i'm thinking of using my paintball gun, but that might be traceable and i'm sure that won't be a permanet solution. my mom is thinking about using poison, but that to me is fucked up. i don't want to kill them... i just want to keep them away from my property.

paintball gun or a weak bb gun will work or how about peeing all over your backyard to mark the territory? [ August 27, 2005, 01:26 PM: Message edited by: Hungry Hippo ]

I used a trap to catch all the strays around my house. Just one of those traps when they walk in and step on a part of the floor the door falls down and just traps them. I would stick a bowl of cat food in to get them to go in. I would catch opposums(sp) from time to time.
PS I hate cats!

then you get out the hose, spray the shit out of them, then let them go
they never come back after that
and for those that think that is mean, if u have raccoons coming through the cat door and sleeping on your just painted ac cobra kit car, what would you do

Shoot them with the sawed off.

I was going to say get a dog but then I realized you would then be cleaning up dog shit! I would shoot em before the poisening because poisening em is a slow and cruel death.

My dogs take care of the cats and racoons around my house. My dog has actually killed a cat before... I watched the whole thing and, I must say, dogs are the best pets ever.

my grandfather got tired of the cats in his backyard, he did the above mentioned traps and dropped the cats off at the animal shelter.

To all of you people talking about killing these little cats, have you ever thought that maybe it is a little kids pet? I don't know about you guys but the one time my little cousin found his dead cat is was heart breaking.
How about the next time you are drunk and piss/shit in my yard I put a few rounds from a 45 into your head? Sound fair?
edit - I agree with 66ac. Can be taken care of much better ways. [ August 27, 2005, 08:47 PM: Message edited by: NO MANRZ ]

i know they are probably someone's pets that's why i don't want to use poison.. i just want them out of my property period. i don't care about killing raccoons. if you see me taking a shit in your property then by all means come and shoot me.

Just trap them or piss all over your property. It'll scare the raccoons away but probably not the cats.

If you don't really care about it. Put it out there.
