He said "They now live at a local lake near me" Why would anybody go to all that work then set the cats free at a local, nearby spot? It doesn't matter how sick this guy is, I'm sure he's aware that a living cat will find it's way home from a nearby dropoff. Drowning people's pets (even a yappy chihuahua) is over the line, uncivilized, indicative of a bullying nature and possible other deep-rooted dissorders. I guess it's a matter of where you draw the line when protecting your property and possessions but at the end of the day wouldn't owning a cat address all the rodent problems mentioned in this thread? |

Re: Animal problem
Bill,
For rural areas, as a last resort, maybe for squirrel problems, place a short ad in a Hunting Magazine such as; "Free -- Annual, Early Saturday Morning Squirrel Hunt -- with or without squirrel dogs -- No Limit -- Free hunting guide available to point out Squirrels -- hurry while fall season is open -- limited space available -- call: (xxx) xxx-xxxx." |

Re: Animal problem
On the farm I use mothballs and a lot of them to keep the rats and squirrels out of things. Smells horrible but it keeps them out.

Re: Animal problem
Ok the cat problem I had was the cats were eating my dogs food and killing my wifes birds .
Then they started fighting my old dogs . Cut my girls nose and a trip to the vet . I took the cats to a nice park on a lake where they can fish . I released them unharmed . If I had taken them to a shelter they would just kill them . |

Several weeks later a rather thin and tattered cat showed up on their new doorstep...it was rocky AND that was way before GPS! Sorry but it's a sensitive subject as our cat was trapped by my neighbour in a cage, but we found out and released him before it was dumped in the ocean. He was very lucky...and I don't mean the cat. Have a great day. Last edited by Craig Lewis; 12-04-2012 at 12:02 AM. |

What a HORRIBLE man! Bet he had a mean HORRIBLE dog too! Chief always said that you can tell a lot about a MAN by studying his DOG! Ole' Bill turned it around, You can tell a lot about a DOG by studying his MAN! Like, can you trust him? Or will he bite the crap out of you when you ain't lookin'?? Buster T. & I have an agreement, he doesn't yell at me & I don't yell at him. If you want a dog to be a "machine," teach him one word commands. If you want him to be a Model A expert/security dog/friend/confidante/buddy/pal/bed buddy/etc, just talk to him in looooong paragraphs!! I hope you've gotten over that "neighbor" thing, God, that'd be hard to forget, my friend. Bill W. (A single Dr. friend hasn't had an alarm clock for years, his 2 cats stand on his chest, & stares in his face to wake him at 4:00 A.M, never more than 5 minutes off! On weekends, he lifts the covers, they go under & sleep in with him!! SMART CATS!) Bill W.

Re: Animal problem
Cats are good for getting rid of rats, squirrels and snakes. I hope the cat doesn't decide to sharpen his claws in the nice upholstery.

Re: Animal problem
The squirrel saga.
Ok bought one of them thar fancy electronic systems to deter squirrels, and a whole array of living creatures prone to dining on my wiring harness's (includes Bears, Deer, bugs, etc. Just pick the problem animal, bird. and set it up. I have not seen a squirrel in my yard nor the neighbors yard. Had several people wonder what the h.... is that. Explained my problem and noticed the hoods up on a number of vehicles.. |

Re: Animal problem
Put some dry Portland cement in a pan with some carrot sticks stuck in the cement. Critters will eat a carrot and injest some cement, go outside for water. Guess what? One less varmit.
