Cats and Kittens

aaron r asked:


These stray cats that hang around my neighborhood always come in to my yard and poo. I want to get them to stop because one of my dogs eats it and we had to take him to the Vet. because he started getting diahrea. I also don’t want to hurt the cats in the process.
I’m to young to be dealing with traps and I don’t want to use urine or animal repellent because my dogs still need to go outthere and do their thing.

What can I do to help stray cats? I’m getting married and moving in a month and a half, and I doubt my parents will continue leaving food out (which I am considering doing but I don’t want them to become dependent and then I leave and there is no more food everyday). The only ones I’ve seen recently is a VERY large Tom cat, and a very small female with at least two kittens.

How does one go about trapping cats, especially one that has babies? I’m afraid of losing track of the kittens if the mom gets trapped. Also, where can I find traps, and how much are they to rent/buy? I’m going to try and find an organization that may do this as well, I live in Central NJ if anyone knows of anything. There is an SPCA but I don’t know if they go out and catch animals.

The kittens are VERY tiny but walking/running capable already ~ 4 weeks? I’m thinking they are living close by, hopefully under the porch.

Next door neighbors have 5 cats. There are many more in my neighborhood and they all roam free. I have a dog but my yard is not fenced so he cannot be outside unless I am with him. I have motion sensor lights that turn on when a cat enters my yard and I go out and throw water on them which works when I am home or not asleep. I cleaned uo 30 “piles” this week!!! Help!

I have several small vegetable gardens around the yard. There are a number of cats in the neighborhood who dig holes and do their business. I am looking for an easy and cheap way to keep the cats out of the garden, without using chemicals or injuring the cats. What works for this?

Goofoo asked:


There are a lot of stray cats in my area. I am going to be creating a garden for the first time and I am certain that at least one of the many stray cats in the neighborhood will enjoy making my garden a toilet.

How do I keep them out? Is a Remington the only answer?

Davey M. asked:


Unfortunately i live in a neighborhood where ALOT of stray cats wander around. And the worse thing is they poop everywhere near my house and my neighbor’s. I do try to chase them away before they can do it but unfortunately i cant keep track of it all the time. Now it reeks every where i go in my side of the neighborhood. Is the smell going to affect my health in any way?
