I cannot stop these cats from coming into yard, or keep them away from my house, I patrol the back yard every day. I adopted a 2 y/o 3 months ago, I believe he will eat things he finds, I have found chic bones, dead birds, dead moles, dead mice in my yard more times then I care to remember, so patrolling is a MUST. I have ALWAYS gone out with my dogs, and will continue to do so, I will not let them out unattended one never knows what mischief they will get into so I watch them like a hawk. This new lil guy I now have is full of hell & high water, he is a city boy, now will be a country boy, now he has a yard to play, run & hunt in. He will be watched very closely by me. These feral cats like to hang out under my deck, new boy found some interesting smells under there, when there was no SNOW that was the first place he headed for. Being a city boy, never having a yard to run free in, now he is hell bent on checking out all new smells. Patrol the area that your dog uses, if cat poo is there dispose of it, unless you want to capture the cat, drive it off far, far away and release in a wooded area, but that is no promise other feral cats will not invade your property. Good luck |
