Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anybody know of a feral cat repellent

Any respectable Jack Russell would make short work of such problems.

Don't tune to a classical music station - cats like classical!

Yer doin' it wrong. Kill all the females, a tomcat can't make kittens if there are no mama cats around. My uncle had a dairy farm, not too far from town, and townies would drive out there and dump their damned old cats, every now and then, uncle would thin them out. He kept the tomcats around to kill rats/mice around the barn (lots of rodents hang around dairy farms, because of all the fodder around a dairy barn).

His system worked pretty well. While there WERE a lot of tomcats hanging around, there were never any kittens. Lots of cat fights to watch when you've got time, too. Dairy farmers don't have much time to dawdle, though.

.460 Weatherby is probably enough...

Or give them names and keep them as forever furry friends...

Fly bait and milk

Flintlocke: We call them "field lions" around here - and sadly people dump their litters of kittens, often, in the fields surrounding my house.
I use mothballs under my tool shed to keep them at bay.
And indeed the 17 Mach2 comes into use from time to time with some field lions.

Ditch cougers here

That was very good.

I don’t know about feral, but my neighbor traps all of my wife’s cats and hauls them off. She thinks I storm over to his house to confront him about it, but we’re just drinking beer and I’m buying since he’s doing me a favor.

Alwaysoutdoors is into furries. He could help with that.

Because [bleep] cats. That’s why.

I enjoy having songbirds in my yard. My neighbors (from CA) adopted a feral and the bastard kept coming into my yard and crapping everywhere and eating my birds. Well, wouldn’t you know it, old Chester came up missing. 9 lives my ass…

I think one of those high frequency rodent repellent devices would be pretty hard on the kitty ears and they would leave.

A fun way to get rid of any local cat is to put an Airedale on them. If he doesn't chase them away he'll tear them to pieces.
He'll even crawl under your house for you.

Seriously?

Reach into your purse and call a man to handle it.

The mountain quail coveys have been struggling here for about 5 years, coyotes and bobcats are well under control so it's not that, I think maybe it is aerial predators, hawks and such...although the drought never helps. In any case once I get bitch kitty and litter out from under the house, then the problem can be solved quickly and drama free. Bought a big jug of ammonia yesterday from Higgenez' recommendation, that should get her to move them. Unfortunately I also suspect the forces of stupidity have been clandestinely at work here. I found the wrapper from a package of stew meat while dumping the trash yesterday...hmm, we have not had stew since the weather turned warm. So I can only conclude that thoughtless, rampant stupidity is at work here. There should be exemptions in spousal abuse laws to allow for reasonable disciplinary justice.

22WRF Magnum. Speaking from experience, very effective.
