or actually what you can do is hold the cat if you catch it till you see reward signs up for it then just take it to your neighbor and and collect the money

Ran back inside, grabbed my paintball gun(04 Shocker) and shot 3-4 times at him. 1 of those 3 ended up smacking him directly in the forhead. Needless to say, the cat doesn't tend to come around my house anymore.

I've used my '04 Orracle on a 'Possum before. Those I don't mind shooting at.

Paintball guns are an excellent solution to humanely getting rid of unwanted animals.

If you live near a river take it across and let it go in another town...
Most cats arent going to swim to get home.

As much fun as a paintball gun can be, it's this that truely takes the cake and it's only a matter of time before cats are being slung into the abyss...

agreed.. not confronting the neyb and/or just trying to kill the cat, just makes you the p***y..

excluding feral cats and whatnot, what goes down outside of city limits is a whole 'nuther thing.


of course, the OP already said he wasnt going to kill it.

Other sane people would go to TSC (or like place) and purchase the motion activated cans of air for ~$20 (currently on clearance at TSC) with $6 refills. Locate at corner of garage door (not on car). Or a 'scat mat' would help at the threshold.

most expensive I've seen, but the easiest link I could find

LOL I have the same problem..

Where I park my car theres a family of wild undomesticated cats...I'm talking like 8-15 of them. When I first started to park there I would notice paw prints all over my Z.. then I'd notice fine little scratches..then fur here and there on the paint.

So I bought a car cover....the cats began using the cover as a scratching post.. ended up with holes all over the cover.

I decided then to do something I didn't think I would have to do.....I parked somewhere else.. there simply were too many cats to fight





jk I bought one of those silent cat reppellent alarm things.. cats havn't touched the Z since.
