poacherjim 0 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 i was just wondering if anyone knows of a good way to catch a cat, i have 2 fantail doves that will no longer go into their nest box as they are being terrorised by a big black moggy, i just need to catch it and re educate it in the errors of its ways the wife says im obsessed with it as i always seem to be looking for it,i have let the dogs out to frighten it but it sits on top of the shed purring it ugly head off. i need help before it turns me into a man possesed!!!!! i have looked at traps that are for sale but i have no confidence in any of these as i have not tried them for myself, surely someone else has had this problem Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,571 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Cat proof their nesting/roosting area. Trapping will only piss off the neighbours. Quote Link to post
Dawn B 212 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Try a hose pipe, works wonders! Quote Link to post
dodgie 2 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) get friendly with the moggy, gain its confidence then when you can grab it, stuff it in a box and send it on its holidays!!!!!! Edited September 15, 2008 by dodgie Quote Link to post

Holdaway 2 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 If you can get near it at all, might I suggest a fairy liquid bottle with water and mustard mixed, squirt the pest. The smell is off putting to them and when they lick their fur...they won't come back. The cage is a good method , a cat will enter a box or cage very easily. Quote Link to post
rabbit tourmentor 29 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 if one of my chickens went in there garden and scratched it all up theyed be right here complaining but its all right for there pussy to rip up our flower beds and shit in them or shit in the childs sand box Quote Link to post
john hubery 9 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Owner of cat think there cat should have the right to go any where and do any thing they like because there free sprits, water gun my arse get some thing with lead in it, or trap them at night when no one around to see, and if a cat should accidentaly pass away while in the trap lay them on the road not to far away and I sure some one will run over it and then it looks like an accident Quote Link to post
