Stray Cat In My Back Yard

And they are the only marsupial in the U.S

What if the cat eats the hot sauce!!!!

---------

I am concerned about that. But kitty is usually gone by night fall, so I wont set this dish down until after dark...and I just gave kitty a big dinner.

Not to mention kitty sniffs his food quite well before he starts to eat...so I'm hoping for the best.

I have a family in my backyard too and it took the dead blue jay away so I didn't have to have a funeral for it with my kids.

Raccoons like liquid with their food. I have given this one a little beer in the cat food and he loves it.

------------

Be careful...raccoons can rip your arm clean off!

A close friend took in a stray cat. In Arkansas. It had feline aids and infected her two other cats.

I have a raccoon story.

I was at a hotel in Orlando and it makes sense that raccoons would populate the area pretty bad cause of all the tourists trash and shit. So anyways..it was blocking the side entrance into the hotel. We were having a standoff! Literally. It was standing up and fluffed all it's fur out in attack mode. This was in the night so I'm assuming it was not rabid or anything but..this a hole raccoon was not going to let me go back to my room! I ended up having to go to the front of the hotel. Lol Another Florida raccoon story: Jacksonville..raccoons at the gas stations, with babies! They were so cute. People tell you not to feed them and all but they were walking up to people begging for food! With their little hands out and everything!

I feed strays and the raccoons just walk up and eat right beside the cats. Skunks too

I have ran across ones like that before
I end up going into the store and spending $10 for snacks to feed them.

I honestly would bet I spend over $1000 on food for strays. I always keep a big bag of bird seed in the winter so when it snows I toss it on top of my out building.

If I were to toss it in the yard the cats would eat the birds.

Wise decision! Raccoons can hurt you bad!

Never let a dog chase one into the water...it'll drown the dog.

I have a stray/feral cat that just came out of nowhere this summer and it's killing my backyard birds. I am an animal lover and it pains me. But no creature is allowed to kill my birds.

I saw where it was crouching and waiting in my flower beds and shrubs so I pruned the shit out of them today. I don't know if that's going to be enough. I have indoor kitties myself so this is very troubling to me.

I remember one time I was smoking a cigarette in my backyard and a huge racoon came into my yard. I was about to go back inside when i decided to see how smart the racoon was. So, i decided to toss my still lit cigarette butt at it. Ran back a few feet initially, then it came back to investigate the cigarette but. It sniffed and touched his nose to it and instantly it made little shrieking sounds and ran off...bet he want to take up smoking now.

What is a good way to get rid of squirrels?
We never had them before and just this year the little bastards came around eating all the fruit from our trees. Our apples and avocados are almost getting ripe and I want to get rid of the squirrels before they ruin all the fruit.

It's in the city so I cannot shoot them.

If you want to survive, the only option is to find a bazooka.


And offer it to the cute mountain lion in the tiny kitty package.

Then it will probably love you for at lest 20 seconds or so until it gets distracted.

But you will survive.

The only thing that I've ever seen work is a dog.

This cat really does like me...but I have no idea why. I'm not a cat person, never owned one. I'm not particularly nice to him...wont let him inside...I just feed it.

My neighbor bought him cat treats & the cat wont take them from him (I tried to talk my neighbor into taking him).

But the kitty hangs out with me like we're best buds.

Aww... really? Why won't you let him in?

You offer it a bazooka also.

Maybe he'll wise up and go hang out with your neighbor. You sound like you'd be an awful cat owner.

Aww... really? Why won't you let him in?

He ain't mine & I don't want a cat...I've always been a dog guy.

I just didn't want the little guy to die. When I first met him I thought he was going to die...I just fed him to make his last few hours on earth a little more comfortable.

You are awesome!

You are awesome!

Thanks...but it was really sad how skinny this thing was. He was meowing at me like a crazy person...I told him to go home...he kept meowing & I could tell he was asking for help.

Then I petted him & felt the lacking bone structure...I thought oh shit...his body has been feeding off itself for quite a while.

If I brought him into the HS they probably would have just put him down immediately...but I fed him back to health now so bringing him to the HS now I think would be OK.

I'll have to borrow my neighbors cat carrier.

Look at his "hand". It looks like he's wearing fingerless gloves and ready to play some ragtime jazz.

Yeeeee.

If you give the squirrel the bazooka, it will protect you from the crazy kitty.

Get a dog. And no not a fucking pitbull. That breed has been sadly exploited and now needs to go extinct.
I enjoy my squirrels, they are smart creatures but don't cause damage like yours do other than go to a bird feeder.

My squirrels climb right up the stalk & eat the corn while it's still growing.

I grow it to save the heirloom seed so it really doesn't bother me...what the squirrels get is minimal.

dooo dooo dooo lookin' out my back door

Cats choose their owners.

My wife picked herself a siamese cat from the pound and brought it home. As cats are cats he chose me as his best friend. I never owned a cat before and didn’t quite know how to react to a critter with razor claws. Well critters are critters, so I figured pet him and play the finger in the couch cushions game, and boom he was as loyal as a dog could ever be, he came when I called, rolled over, sat-up, fetched, even walked on a Leash.

However, he was still a cat and had traditional cat behavior - yowling at midnight, sleeping most of the day, hissing defiantly at the horses, spontaneously running to the other side of the house then yowling because he was alone, bringing me gifts of dead birds, mice, hairballs.

He was a great pet and beloved friend.

Raccoons on the other hand are evil. I have horrifying stories about those “cute” fuzzballs.

Was it this stray cat?

This is so true. Rscoons are an evil little creature. I can think of one right now that I am going to spank the shit out of when I catch her.

She cannot hide from uncle Matt forever, turn yourself in Emily, before I have to use one of Vladimir's missiles. I want to save those for something else.

Someone remind me to kick robo's ass for the s shit.
