How do you get rid of cats, without hurting them?

They do their business on my porch, they burrow in my garden, they stalk my bird's nest, they sleep on my patio furniture. I've tried mothballs and cayenne pepper, to no avail.

How do you get rid of cats, without hurting them?
Cats hate the smell of ammonia. Put an ammonia soaked rag in a tupperware container (with holes so the scent can escape) on your porch, the foul scent should drive them away, it worked for me around my bird feeders.
Reply:Lots of local shelters will have cat traps you can borrow. Trap them, call the animal control officer, and they're gone.
Reply:Try this recipe: 2 Tbsp. Cayenne pepper, 3 Tbsp. powdered Chinese Mustard, 4 Tbsp. Flour in 2 quarts of warm water.. Allow it to stand for 1 hr and then strain and put it in a spray bottle, and, spray it around. This will repel a mountain lion as well. Cats also hate the smell of Vinegar. So use it in a spray bottle . Cats are afraid of Snakes so place pieces of garden hose about your garden. Cats do not like to see their reflection in a plastic bottle. Try filling plastic soda bottles half full of water and leave them around your garden where they frequent. They will go looking for another place to use as a bathroom. if you plant Chicken Wire just under the surface of the some of the soil around the garden, the cats will have too much trouble digging and find an easier area. Plant Catnip in a place far away from the areas you want to keep them away from. Cats do not like the herb "Rue", so scatter the leaves around the areas that they frequent and they will leave very quickly. Or plant some "Rue " plants.

Reply:Ammonia, or spray them with a hose, or call animal control, ONLY if they are no kill. They dont deserve to die, simply because they are a nuisense! :)
Reply:Well, first try contacting your local Animal Control. They can set up humane traps to remove them.


Or, you can purchase traps yourself and then take them to a local animal shelter.


But, be aware. A mad cat is a very dangerous animal! They are lightning quick and not only bite, but scratch. They also thrash violently when scared. You can also call a private Animal removal company.
Reply:try some citrus scented air freshener and spray your furniture.





You can always get a humane trap and trap them and call the shelter for pick up.
