How do you trap a cat?

February 25, 2008

Previously I had a rat problem.

Now, I have a cat problem. Or rather, should I say, CATS!

My neighbour from hell decided to rear 2 Siamese cats (yes, male and female) a few years ago, after they decided to move their 3 dogs (one was a Rotweiler) elsewhere.

I think my neighbour considers the cats as accessories, much like Paris Hilton considers her 16 dogs (I heard it on the radio). The cats are not cleaned, they are not fed and they are left to roam the streets.

And these cats are hyperfertile and super-promiscuous.

It wasn’t long before they were mating with anything that moves in the neighbourhood resulting in late night feline conversations like this:

Cat 1 (male): mmmmMMMaaaaaaUUUUU!

Cat 2 (female): tak mmmmMMMMMAAAAUUUU!

Cat 1 (male): mmmMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUU!!!!

Cat 2 (female): I said tak MMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUU!!!

Ummm, hello? We’re all blokes here. Get off my back!

And there were cat fights of course. Especially when Cat number 3,4 and 5 join in the amorous chorus.

And so, in the cycle of (a cat’s life), it goes like this:

Eat, sleep, groom itself, sh*t (then bury the mess, usually in MY garden), eat some more, groom some more, mate, mate, mate!

And voila, we have kittens! Lots of them, that soon grow up and being bestowed with hyperfertile and super-promiscuous genes, will do the same things and the cycle begins all over again.

There are so many of them, even the dogs have relocated.

All that I can tolerate. I don’t mind the noise, the mating, the fighting, the sh*ting.

What I DO mind is THIS:

Cat paw prints on my washed weekly car’s windscreen and cat’s pee on the wipers!!

Apparently the cats love to sleep on the top of my car (or my wife’s car) and while coming down from the top, it (or they, I can’t really tell, for all I know the whole gang could be having a mating session on my car roof) would slide on the windscreen. I believe it (or they) also has/have urinary incontinence because as it/they slide/s down, it/they would pee! All the way! I’m not sure if it’s to lubricate their way down.

I hate them cats.

So, tell me, how do you catch and deal with these felines?

    just buy a cat trap at a Home Depot or any farming store. I think even ACE Hardware has them. Put some bait it in and they’ll come around or simply call the pound.

    you can buy a lastik (dunno wat it is in english. the ‘Y’ thingy) and shoot them when u see them.. after sometime, i think they will just run away when u reach for the lastik.

    It is time the government introduced legistration to make it legal to kill cats tresspassing on your land. These filthy creatures want erradicating into extinction. The owners cannot control them. They leave disgusting toxic shit all over and in your gardens including mine. I have neighbours who think its funny and think there is nothing can be done about their filthy animals.
    What I am doing and I would encourage others to do the same is. Set up a wireless IP Camera with night vision, set it to upload a jpeg every time the camera picks up movement. When the cat shits on your lawn you will have photo proof.
    You can then employ a landscape gardener to replace the turf in your garden where the cat shit.
    The animals owner is TOTALY responsible for all damage caused by their pets. Take the bill with the photo proof tot he owner and demad payment for the damage. Landscape gardeners are expensive, it is my belief the owners will be quick to prevent their cats damaging your garden when they realise they face a £100.00 bill each time for re turfing fees.
    I am certain my neighbours wont be laughing when they get my bill, I always follow up bad debts with a small claims summons. Armed with photo proof, it is unlikely judgement will not be found in your favour.
    Animal owners need to take a proper responsibility for their animals actions and any court would agree.
    Cameras dont lie they give positive proof, they cost under 150 quid, well worth it, it is the way ahead, get one and irradicate the problem. The more people who do this, the quicker all other cat owners will act on their responsibilities.
    These animals are nothing more that a nusience, they are worse than rats. Leaving their crap everywhere the should be irradicated into extinction!

    Castrate all the male cats & leave the females alone by sending them to SPCA after catching them using crushed diazepam. Then we’ll have less problems, rite? Just like the eunuchs… LOL!

    This is so hilarious… HAHA

    Cats dun like. Dogs cannot. Then suggest you keep a cow Jimbo! Fresh milk supply everyday.

    it’s the owners’ fault for not chopping their gonads off…!!!

    LOL!! That’s a good one AM. Actually we did think of getting a dog but a dog will come with its own problems ~ fleas, bathing, feeding, peeing, pooing, and dogs do get horny too! :)
    And my other neighbour is Malay, so I think having a dog may offend them. If only every one is like me, so considerate. :)

  12. February 27, 2008 at 12:05 pm | #12

    aww…don’t do all that (all the above)! *distressed*

    Cats are cute, they cant help being horny, it’s the owners’ fault for not chopping their gonads off…!!!

    how bout you get a dog? then the cats will automatically stay out of your house lor, easy peasy, and wont hurt those cuties at all…

    michelle, where can one buy a bb gun? and is it even legal? I mean, I might miss and shoot my neighbour instead! Hmmm, come to think of it, that’s not such a bad idea! LOL!

    Fish entrails spiked with crushed diazepam – check. Coat hanger – check. Wait, wait, wait! How do you get crushed Diazepam?!!! Oh, but that was in India, where one can get any drugs over the counter!
    Huajern, the cat survived because it has 9 lives. :)

    had a cat problem in Manipal years ago. We caught(almost) the stupid bugger by doping some fish entrails with crushed diazepam. When it was nice and groggy, we chased it around the first floor with a coat-hanger, giving it a whack every now and then, until it fell off the balcony. the idiot survived, but never came around again. another idiot got trapped in our kitchen, and got whacked too. somehow news got around among the felines and we didn’t have any cat problem after that.

    yenjai, I think my cats are Indian (my neighbour is Indian), I don’t think spicy stuff and curry powder will work.

    You see the ginger one in the middle? That is what happens when you eat too much and the tummy gets in the way!

  20. February 25, 2008 at 10:25 am | #20

    But how do you catch them in the first place?

  21. February 25, 2008 at 10:01 am | #21

    Back in my university, we had a special organization to deal with these mangy felines.

    The organization was called the Faculty of Veterinary Science. The special unit assigned was called Final Year Students and the taskforce was codenamed N.E.U.T.E.R.

    In the rare occasion, a neutered was accidently caught and re-neutered, and the failed agent would be immortalized forever in the Hall of Laughingstocks.

    Buy some super spicy curry powder
    Sprinkle it sparingly all around your fence / wall ^-^
