Go away, Enemy Cat!
I have two desexed adult male indoor-only cats. At night, a
neighbourhood cat visits our house and lurks in the front yard, often sitting on the doorstep. This completely freaks out my pair, with lots of banging and crashing as they jump up on things to try to get a view of the other fellow, meowing, growling, ridiculous barking noises, and generally waking us up. We rent, or I'd just build a fence or something to keep the Enemy Cat out. Is there some harmless way I can scare the intruder off? Thanks for any advice! - Kate |

They're not overly expensive, really. Under $100 generally. They work pretty well for racoons and possums, too. http://www.pondsolutions.com/predator-control.htm http://www.greentouchirrigation.com/scarecrow.html -- -- ~kaeli~ Murphy's Law #3020: Quality assurance doesn't. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |
