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.

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

I certainly hope they don't waste their time trying to segregate funds based
on each donor's prejudices. But, I don't care. There's no way to change
peoples' minds with regard to cats & dogs. The animals are quite capable of
subverting the minds of their owners to the point where they ignore the
damage and aggravation caused by the creatures. As we know from Darwin,
there's a place for such owners, as well as a place for gardeners like me
who make the pets vanish when appropriate. We are the lions of the suburbs,
so to speak.

I hear that Doug,
Cats and dogs are not a real problem for me as I have a 6 foot privacy
fence around the property.

I am at war with the neighborhood squirrels. A couple of weeks ago the
pack decended like the Mongols to sack and pillage my strawberry and tomato
garden.

I found a wonderful product called Colibri .22 low velocity ammunition. It
is primer propelled, and very quiet. (sounds like someone stepping on a dry
branch) The round leaves at 375 fps. About the speed of a hi power pellet
gun.

Won't penetrate the wood fence either.

The squirrels hate it. It drops 'em in their tracks.

Since implementing this plan, I am actually getting to put some
strawberries on my morning cereal.

Interesting ammo. I wish I didn't have to live in a typical neighborhood
where that's dangerous to do. For now, I have to do creative things with
chicken wire and hardware cloth.

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.
