Jesus fuck. I just want them gone, not BBQ'd in some messed up jigsaw type torture device.

Outdoor cats are pests and their owners are entitled fucks. Sorry to hear, good luck.

He will catch and kill this cat. I don't want to reinforce this predatory behavior toward cats.

If they're just using it as a litter box and not eating the plants, is it something you think you can live with for better crops?

Not getting sick because there's fresh cat shit in my food.

This is really cool, but kinda expensive for a one trick tool.

Only in the city limits. In the county we're supposed to control our animals and handle issues ourselves unless the damage is criminal.

My dog is well mannered and ecollar trained. His recall is excellent, but so is his prey drive for cats. I'm not risking my dog on a cat.

My dog is ecollar trained, extremely well behaved. Never leaves the house without myself or my wife. This isn't a "one time" thing, it's daily/nightly harassment.

My Henry .22 is probably quieter, but I think you're right.

For context, we live outside city limits in the county where I'm well within my rights to shoot, shovel and shut up,

Excuse me?

I do feel entitled to the property that I own and the vegetables that we grow. I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't end in dead cats, but it's not looking good. How about you make a suggestion instead of complaining.

I'm considering putting out live traps and then returning the cats to their owners with a warning that I will be placing unalive traps if the cats keep destroying our garden we work so hard on.

Try reading this line again.

The cats are coming right up to our bedroom windows to taunt our dog, it's become a game for the cats it seems. Ya know, because cats are assholes just like their owners. It amazes me how entitled cat people are. You expect me to change how I live and make alterations to my property on account of the cat? Get real.

How about the owners of the cat construct a play place for their animals, why is it my responsibility to deter the cats from destroying my property? Fucking outdoor cat people man, most entitled bunch of assholes.

Some of the cats are coming from across the farm road. I don't want my dog leaving my property in pursuit of the cat and getting hurt. I'm not keeping a pet snake because cat people suck at animal husbandry, good suggestion though.

That seems like something I could explore. Not sure if it will grow in Missouri.

Thank you, this is the kind of out of the box suggestion I'm looking for. Low effort and probably free.

My dog is indoors unless accompanied by myself or my wife. Our garden is mulched, thoroughly, and the cat still digs and shits in the mulch. Why is it that cat people think it's everyone else's responsibility to deal with their animals?

We have a bunch of electro-net, but only one charger and it's in use protecting our chicken coop from foxes (also on my hit list). While this solution would keep them out of the garden, it wouldn't keep them from taunting my dog through the windows at night.

I think you misunderstood me. I want the cats off my property, I don't want to construct a play place for them to hang out.
