My wife donates to the SPCA with instructions on the check NOT to be
used for cats......wonder if they follow those instructions.

I'd think that would be the reverse of what you'd want to do. The more
money they get for cats, the more they can spay and neuter them. You
see, it isn't really the cats that are at fault, it's idiotic owners.

Here we go again. A couple years ago some low-lifes sent the 5 lb. furry
vermin to my clam boat to use it as a litter box. Never got a good aim
at
the cat.

Now, I have a trawler with Polish storm windows (AKA rigid pvc drop
curtains) around the stern area, and a neighbor's DAMN CAT still gets
inside
for the same purpose.

I need your advice. What type of anitfreeze is it that smells and
tastes
good to animals, but offs 'em in a few hours? Does De-Con work? Rat
traps?


I'd contact your local SPCA, borrow a live trap and turn the cat over to
them.
You may cruely kill an innocent cat that could be attracted by the
anti-freeze.



Agreed. A HavAHart trap will do the trick. Cats don't deserve the antifreeze
routine. That's for dogs.

Drink up Dogie err ahh Dougie....

The traps work surprisingly well. I have trapped approximately 20 cats in
the last 2 months using a live trap. I have several really nice cars that I
was tired of the damned feral ******* cats climbing on when I'd leave my
garages doors open. Not to mention the shredding of the garbage bags
awaiting collection.
Once you have them trapped, they are yours to do with what you will.
A word of advice, if you just haul them off somewhere, go AT LEAST 10 miles
away, and cross a couple of bodies of water if you can. Otherwise the
*******s will damned near beat you back home!

I've also broke out my old recurve bow and gone "hunting". Nice and silent,
and provides a relatively quick kill (though a stuck cat certainly YOWLS a
lot!). I'd avoid poisons and firearms in any sort of municipal area, too
much chance for things to go wrong.

Try again. This time practice and use .22 hollow points.


CCI Stingers in .22LR are a good choice too! :-

Problem with that scenario is when Han Solo shot the laser weapon in
the garbage dump in Star Wars.

Sheesh....I want the friggin cat, not my boat, the dock master, and
about 13 other innocent bystanders.


It's okay.... May the force be with you! LOL!!!

Actually, a Ruger 10/22 with a Simmons scope on it (or other small rifle along
those lines) might freak people out at a marina. So, something more subtle and
discrete is a better option. The humane traps are the best way to rid yourself
of an unwanted critter. Or, be more daring and use a C02 pellet pistol!

Butch Ammon

My exact setup. LOL

Don't forget eye protection. And, check the deductible for your boat
insurance. You may end up paying for new windows out of your pocket.

Problem solved several ways, but, the best part is this afternoon I saw a
Chinese restaraunt is opening up across the parking lots. I have .25 cal.,
but not hollow points. That is actually a very good suggesstion, because the
area is well above the water line.

If I can trap a hundred to two, I'll have money for enough fuel for the
season! (heeeeeere kittykittykittykittykittykittykitty)

(will be back...have to get some razor wire and run a 440V line.......)

Personally, I don't shoot cats because I don't have problems with them, but
if they destroyed my vegetable garden, I wouldn't hesitate to do so. If you
read the fine print in your town code, you'll likely find old laws which
permit landowners to kill things that destroy food crops.

Just because you call an animal a cute pet doesn't mean it's not a serious
pain in the ass to someone else. I'll venture a guess that you've never come
face to face with a feral dog, or three of them at once.
