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.

Go to Home Depot and buy a "hav-a-heart" trap, Racoon size. Bait it
with tuna. When you catch the bastid, tie a teather to the trap, throw
it over the side and tow it out to sea.

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


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

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.

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

Ah, one of the simple pleasures of living in the South. Reminds me of
the time the wife and I watched our ****ed-off neighbor, .357 in hand,
go after a bunch of cats raiding his trash barrel.

I don't think he got any of them, but damn, was it funny watching
those cats come zooming out of that barrel as if shot by a catapult
and the neighbor blasting away at his trash barrel like "Dirty Harry."


You'all good 'ole southern boys sho' do like to use them guns.
What do you do when the kids act up?
Put a little rock salt in the old 12 gauge and tell them to git runnin'?

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.......)

This is the best choise. The other methods mentioned could get you some
"real" prison time in many parts of the country. Believe it or not.

Local SPCA will usually supply a trap with only a deposit that is refunded
when trap is returned. They will even come and pick up the offender. Tuna
is the best smelling bait but small can of gourmet? cat food works too.

A`donation to your local SPCA might just help your tax situation and give
you a real fuzzie feeling at the same time.

Worked for me when I had a family of feral cats residing under my yard
building annoying the dogs, and an idiot neighbor who felt sorry for them
and put food out for them. They didn't dig in her flower beds though.



I had a lady I worked with ask me what squirrel taste like once.
My reply, Just like cat.
You can only imagin the expression on her face, as she was caught totally
off guard.
Good for a laugh though.
