@Nitedoc don’t want to kill the cat

@cherokeepatti

If they are near your yard, try sprinkling Season Salt in the yard. I understand cats don't like the smell of Season Salt, and if it gets in their noses, I don't think it's harmful.

@cherokeepatti

Sorry, that should have read: *near your yard* 🙄

@calicuz I just want to scare them off without scaring the neighbors or wildlife. I used the air horn once and the cat bolted out of the yard but it startled a neighbor

@NativePortlander1970
i I did it once and it startled a neighbor

@cherokeepatti Did the cats come back?

@cherokeepatti

Try the season salt.

@calicuz No, It would take a huge amount and it would dissolve with rain or snow. I don’t have money to throw away like that. I did put cheap cayenne pepper where the cats were messing around in my flower bed and that helped for a while… they probably got the red ass from it

@cherokeepatti Killing feral cats is doing wildlife a favor as feral cats kill millions of songbirds every year in the USA. When I was younger and did a lot of hunting I made friends with out local game wardens and all of them told me to shoot feral cats any time I saw one as they killed more birds and other wildlife than foxes or coyotes.

@acpguy The ones around here rarely catch a bird. I have noticed they will kill snakes and frogs though. I don’t know if they’ll eat frogs. I have seen two calico cats around here, look very well fed so I think someone is just letting them outside when it’s not too cold. They are stalking the squirrels that are at the feeder. The squirrels are faster than they are. Hawks will catch song birds, I’ve seen it here when a hawk rammed into the house. Went outside to see what happened and hawk had a robin down in my flower bed trying to kill it. He saw me and grabbed the robin and flew over into the neighbor’s yard with it.
