Im sorry if this offends but we have also called the pound and set up traps in our "BACK YARD" because cats jump our tall privacy fence and we want our yard FREE of disease pooping spraying hissing ect...

We caught 4 and I have no idea what happened to them neither do I think about it but I will be the first to set up a trap and have animals hauled in....

They are detrimental to me my family and my Bleu.

as long as they are humane traps, I think it's perfectly fine. People shouldn't let their cats roam around. If they are tame, they are probably given a chance at adoption.

I don't think it is safe to ever allow a cat outdoors..my two are strictly indoor only

Well I am sure they are humane traps the humane society sets them up with food on the inside and when the cat is trapped that day we call them and they come pick it up and replace us with another trap.. This all happened last summer.. Seems to be worse in the summer... But I worried the cat would be trapped and no food or water but they told us whether we got a cat or not they only were leaving that designated trap for 24 hours! I truly liked that idea.. Though I do not want cats around my home I do not want to see them injured hurt starved or euthanized. I am against euthanization.

It's probably worse in the summer because so many kittens are born in the spring. I wish people would spay and neuter their cats. There are way too many cats and not enough homes. A lot of them do get euthanized in shelters. Euthanasia is a much better option than the cats living on the streets, starving, getting hurt, abused, or neglected....or living months to years in a cage in a "no kill" shelter.

ew...luckily no cat issue around where I live. There is a pretty big effort in this city to spay/neuter cats. We have the Aggie Feral Cat Alliance that humanely traps cats and takes them to the vet school where they are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and given an ear notch for identifications purposes. They are then released again.

Wow, we need that here. There is even a stray rabbit running around. I see him every so often, he is huge!! :eek:

Funny..Ive never noticed any dog poop in my front yard..I dont think it would bother me too much..dog's poo..not a big deal to me I guess..maybe its because I have a fenced in back yard and my dogs dont use the front lawn..I cant imagine going off on any of my neighbours either lol..I guess the sign idea would be what I would go with..I use little bags that I keep in my pocket but I have never seen another person use one..even at the dog park that supplies them for us..how old was the kid? Maybe buy him a pack of doggy bags at the buck store and tell him where he can buy his next pack..I bet alot of people dont think twice about picking up their own dogs poop..

I saw something move and pulled her back. It was a copperhead all coiled up! :eek:
I would have had a heart attack right then and there! HATE SNAKES!!

Yep, we've done that, too. Our problem (which I completely do not understand!) is: there is an older farm close-by, and ferrel cats multiply like rabbits over there in an abandoned barn. WHY the town won't make the owners do something is beyond me!! Smithfield is pretty strict about dog poo. It's a quaint little town, and lots of folks can be seen walking their dogs in nice weather. The town has pick-up-after-your-pet stations throughout the town.

But, the policy here is: you can't just get a humane trap (we have one, btw), set it, and turn in whatever you catch. You must feed and water a cat for ten days to say it's yours to turn over to animal control!!! Our neighbor did that a few months back, and had kittens in his yard!! I don't know how many cats he ended up catching.

I guess I'll have to get angry enough to educate the town council about the toxicity of cat poo to dogs! :mad:

Around here, there is NO enforcement of picking up after your dogs, most people would be surprised to even think you would do such a thing. Actually there's not a lot of people who even walk their dogs....even fewer who bother to use leashes. It's an old community, most people grew up in the country, and the rest are very trashy in general. I use bags on my walks, but have never seen another person do so.

Also, there is very little enforcement of any law regarding the number of animals you can have in town. Our neighbor throws out cat food all over her porch for all the stray cats....they contantly walk across our back yard....I am seriously thinking of trapping them.

There are no scorpions here in southeast Texas that I have seen. As for the snakes, when be first moved here there were snakes everywhere but when I started feed the feral cats the snakes slowly started disappearing. Now the only snakes I see are the little dead ones the cats leave laying around. The best thing about country life is the privacy and the fact that you can have more dogs and other animals if you want.

well,, i tell ya, ,STEPPIN in dog poo is a real "Pet Peeve" of mine,,pardon the pun,, ;) I remember when we were in CA. in an RV park,, seeing eveyone bagging their doggies business,, I was told it was State Law there to do so,, (I didnt have a dog at the time),, but was impressed,, now here we are in Texas in an RV park where LOTS of folks will walk their dogs around the park,, a leash is required by the park and most follow that rule,, but not all,, but SO many do NOT clean up after their own dog!!! it infuriates me!!! I'm like,, would you let your kid mess in my yard and not clean it up?!?!?!?! ,, probably,, UCK!! lol I have SEVERAL times,, given poop bags (which i carry attached to my leash) to dog owners i'd pass who's dogs were doing their business and they were about to LEAVE where the dog left it,,,MOST will look shocked,, take the bag and thank me for it, ,then look like what am i supposed to do with this?? LOL, ,AMAZES me people will be so gross!! but SO many diseases can be left lay if they don't clean up after their pets,, at home we dont have the problem as we live out in the country on 40 acres,, but DO hafta watch out for those SNAKES,, and HAWKS,, and BOBCATS!! and as for feral cats,, they are getting thick here and the park has humane traps set again,,,, so sad so many are let go to fend for themselves,,but I surely wish they'd gather em all up around here!!:eyeballpc sorry, I DO go on about this topic,,

I totally agree . Thanks for the advice on what we might say when it happens to us next time. Another Texasan who loves her lawn .
