I am so shocked at the numbers of bold cats in my new neighborhood.

Our front yard smells of cat urine, everytime we open a door they come in, found one on our kitchen table and counter three different times now!

Driving away from our home, up to 30 are normally visible on cars within a couple of blocks, porches and crossing the street.

We don't have pets because we don't want any. We especially would rather not deal with someone else's pet/s.

Being new to Vancouver and unsure of the pet rules and laws.

Are there laws which could help us. How can we legally deal with them.

I don't really want to, but something has got to change.........

IDEAS????? Be nice now!!!!!!

have a heart trap and if you have no heart a 5 gallon bucket of water as well...helps eliminate the issue silently where neighbors will not know

KevinD · 10-13-2009, 10:02 AM

I've resorted to trapping (in a safe, live trap) and taking them to the animal shelter.
But that's over here.

my parents did the same thing. the humane society where they live even provided the live traps.

a bb gun and a 12 pack would provide an afternoon of entertainment...a pellet gun would provide some peace.

I wonder if those "sonic" noise makers would work?

but here...let me google that for you...

funny.

most guys would not be complaining about a Plethora of Pussy around thier new house.

Gusgus · 10-13-2009, 10:15 AM

I am in the process of building a 5 gallon bucket live trap.

I don't want to dispatch them, but I do need to rid our place of this intrusion.

They were mating all night. I wasn't,,,, so it pissed me off, maybe a bit jealous.

If this keeps up I may never again be able to, she is not pleased.

st.mats · 10-13-2009, 10:16 AM

with that many cats in the hood, I wonder if one of your neighbors might be a 'collector' like the quintessential cat lady. If that's the case, you might be able to get the humane society or law enforcement to help you out.

TMMR · 10-13-2009, 10:44 AM

moth balls around the perimeter may help discourage them from coming onto the property --

at least it is supposed to -- but with the rains coming -- not sure how long that would last.

live traps seem to be the best answer.

motion detectors are available online that connect to a sprinkler system, and some have a sonic blast, those work pretty good.

was not so impressed with the so called silencer barely made a difference over other pellet guns i have shot....fyi!

Roland · 10-13-2009, 10:48 AM

slingshots and lead balls werk well as well......as long as your accurate!!

Borgnine · 10-13-2009, 10:51 AM

Those dryer sheets (Bounce?) might be worth a try....

YotaSupra · 10-13-2009, 11:24 AM

Try repellents. Google around, there's all sorts of sprays and powders out there to repel cats and other animals from your yard. Doesn't harm the cat, but detours them from your yard over time. FYI, don't use mothballs. Those can harm the cat and it would suck to add to the urine, the smell of a dead cat.

I bought a can of black stuff "critter ridder" sprinkled the entire bottle around. It worked 12 hours exactly. I read the contents,,,,BLACK PEPPER!

Now it might require conventional warfare!

all those pepper based deterants are a waste of time.....fyi!!! they never werk well and wash away every time it rains. traps and elimination is your only recourse here!!

call your local animal control i am sure they will supply you with traps and a place to drop off the unwanted felines

dragracer1951 · 10-13-2009, 11:48 AM

Yup. Call Animal Control.
You can do a little recon around the neighborhood to see who is the cat lady, but she ain't gonna change.
Call Animal Control.
They will fix the problem.

I think everyone own 3 or more cats.

Amazing as it sounds I am wide eyed

when every car has cats on it. Even mine!

The same cats on the same cars, everyday.

Even mine!

I know where the animal control office is, so maybe this is the best direction.

Crazy to see the disregard of others with pets. I guess I have a new hobby, completely unintentional yet demanded.

Spec · 10-13-2009, 12:20 PM

Some of you guys are dicks. Sending your neighbors animal to the shelter? My one cat, Pimp C, went missing and I'm sure it's because of some A-hole neighbor like a few of you seem to be.

Sounds like whoever lived there before you would let them come in. It's as easy as getting a spray bottle, filling it with water, and spraying the cats if they try to enter your house or come on your lawn. Give that a week, theyll get the picture, and you'll be free of cats.

dragracer1951 · 10-13-2009, 12:20 PM

However a little pellet therapy WOULD be fun...
Can ya see it?
Cats on every car in the neighborhood except yours...

if my animals were out of control, I'd expect the same thing.

it would make me thing twice about letting my animals run free.

a man has a right to protect his property from vermin. and guess what? "pets" are vermin.

now, before you go go all touchy feely on me, I'm a cat/dog lover, raised on a farm, been around animals all my life. ya, cats are great, vermin are not. you know the difference? cats don't smell up the entire lawn and run into my house, vermin do.

Quicky, do they also poo in your yard? If not, do laxatives work on cats?

Motoxfox12 · 10-13-2009, 01:26 PM

Antifreeze

AndyCatts · 10-13-2009, 01:38 PM

We had this problem when I was younger. My dad bought a c02 powered bb-gun, sat on our back deck and double-tapped the strays every evening. They learned. It didn't kill them (probably didn't even break the skin) but cats are smart...they figured it out real quick!

Tried that. The stupid cat still went into the garage and on my cars.
One trap & problem solved.

You are the problem, not me.

How can you blame anyone for killing your cat if you don't KEEP it safe and at home?

To say the BullShit you just did is asinine and just plain selfish. All I have to do is shoot them, anti-freeze them or catch them and deliver them to whomever I so choose. It is my choice since you made the choice to allow them to run loose. You exposed them to the danger, you are the guilty party here!

Unfuckingbelivable!

I simply choose to deliver them to the shelter, unless they return, then the cat god can have them.
