    Posted: 25 August 2010 at 6:15pm
I have this cat (not ours) that likes my front yard, that is fine except it leaves foot prints on my car.

BUT now today I notice a second cat stalking the first cat. They were about to fight today before I scared them off. Then the second cat came back, couldnt see the first one & the 2nd cat went under my car so I set my car alarm off & as it ran off it pissed YUCK!!

So how do I get rid of them without getting a cat for ourselves. We live on a busy road.

I'm thinking some not so humane ways but that's cause I'm angry with them. I was tempted to tie my dog up out the front to scare them off but I don't want to do that & we don't have a gate so can't let her run free either.

If it was a roaming dog I'd call dog control! There needs to be cat control LOL

Are they there all the time, or just random visitors?

Have a hose ready and turn it on full at them. My grandad use to use a humane trap, catch annoying catsand totally drench them with the hose and let them go. They didn't usually come back hehe

LMAO....yeah I saw that on facebook.

Ok Hose I can do!

The 2nd cat is new today. The 1st cat has been hanging around for ages annoying me. It sh*ts in my garden as well which is what pisses me off more than the cat being around.

We have a rental & it's their cat. So has only been here as long as them. God knows where the 2nd one came from.

Spraying them with the hose is fun. We had a neighbourhood cat that liked to fight with ours, but it didn't like it a bit when I sprayed it with the hose, it was a nice bit of revenge

If you want to use something a little more "friendly" than moth balls - cayenne pepper in the garden works for stopping them poo-ing, or plastic bags tied to sticks - they dont like the noise.

Old tea bags soaked in Citronella oil will repel the cats, doesn't wash away in the rain & will keep away mosquitoes too. But it is mating season at the moment so things should calm down in a week or two.

Oooooooooh some good ideas here ladies! The woman who lives next door has 5 ginger cats! I HATE them with a passion. They are always crapping in our front garden and digging the plants out. And they sit on top of the fence and taunt my dog (who tries his best to eat them but can't quite jump high enough dammit! lol). Horrible dirty creatures. YUCK! (as you can tell, I'm not a cat person lol)

I have 2 cats, and we still get this dumb ginger cat hanging around, they are always fighting... i have always wanted to get a cage to catch it in and then just drench it with the hose, very mean, but i hear that it works and keeps them away, like kebakat said
The annoying thing is, even if you have the hose ready, they are often scared off before you get the chance to go outside and turn it on etc etc. I try and keep a pump bottle full, near the window, and try and squirt it that way. muwhaha

we have a cat and i like cats but we have a neighbours cat who sprays all over the place and the smell is disgusting. i get on well with the guy who owns it so would feel funny soaking it in cage. but tempting!

I would recommend the hose as well.

Catching them and drenching them is quite mean (even if it doesn't kill them)!

It's just one of the things about cats (their independence and not being able to be controlled as a dog) that you do have to live with unless you find a natural detergent that's harmless to keep them away.

How about getting a waterpistol from the $2 shop so you can just spray from the window?

We've got cats coming into our highly fenced property which is extremely annoying because we have a greyhound and he has gruesomely killed two neighbouring cats that entered our property..... So we're always sending the boxer out first to 'clear' the section and then let the greyhound out.

WHAT A PAIN.

We don't own any cats and don't mind them BUT there is a stray (although I don't think it's really a stray) that keeps coming and doing his/her business on our property. It's a real pain in the *** and so our dog barks at it all the time and my girls chase it off our property but I'm tempted to set a cage for it and take it down to the SPCA...ggrrrr
