Arry 23,131 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I posted some pictures on signs of spring. A bloody cat from two doors up keeps turning after the ferret kibbles I put down for the Hedgehog. Last night a much bigger cat turn up with strange markings, I've not seen this one about. The normal cat much smaller and he's a big bugger, I've had him a few times Lol.

jukel123 9,045 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 (edited) The big cat may be a bengal. Bigger than the normal tabby and with coat markings similar to the one in the photo. Just a thought ,I'm no expert. https://cfa.org/breed/bengal/ Edited March 18 by jukel123 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Be in for a dunking in the water butt if I catch it Lol. I won't harm it just a discouragement dunk. But not sure it will fit in a Rabbit cage trap.

jukel123 9,045 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 (edited) There's a cat local to me which sits near my bird feeder and pounces on them whenever it can. I set the dog on it to chase it, douse it with water, put pepper down, you name it. Nothing deters it. It's a clever little barsteward. If it sees me looking at it through the window she knows I am harmless. If I open the back door as silently as I can, she's off in a flash.If I sneak up on it using the other door she's aware of the garden gate being twisted and scarpers. She perches on a fence post inches away from the dog's reach and stares down in complete contempt whilst the dog is in a frenzy. It legs it if it sees me in the garden, but comes for a stroke if its on its own territory when I visit my neighbour. It belongs to a kiddie with autism so I guess it has its uses.. when it's not murdering song birds that is. It's cleverer than I am. Little shit.

WILF 48,246 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Cats in an urban environment are probably someone’s pet, I personally would not harm them….may belong to an old lady or a little kid ? I’m no fan of cats, in fact I loath them and will happily iron out feral cats found out in rural places…..but an urban cat I’d never harm because that may just break someone’s heart. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WataWalloper 1,566 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Best thing in world for pet cats that are coming into your garden is a big ole super soaker water gun, my kids have a few but after consistent soakings no cat dare goes in garden anymore haha just got to be consistent an neighbours all know, I told them it was a soaking or it was a one way car trip an they didn’t like that an I can’t blame them, they are pets like it or not, folk don’t like how we treat our dogs but don’t give em right to be shite to them, I don’t agree with letting cats roam all night an day but who am I, I’ll just keep soaking them if they come back haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
