Cat Forum / General Topics / February 20042 ferals
My 2 kids are driving me nuts when 2 strays come to my downstairs patio and start howling at 2 am. My kids only go outside supervised and both Bonnie and Squeak are "fixed" so I'm pretty sure it's not that the strays are wanting....well you know. Anyway, Squeak, being the brut he is,could probably kick their butts outta here, but I'm not stupid enough to take that chance. This is an area under new development, so it could be the ferals belong to someone, but why the hell would they let them out all night? There's coyoties, fox, and other preditors around. I don't want to trap and take them to the shelter, but I need to sleep at night. BTW, the shelter, only one within 50 miles has a 72 hour policy. Why the hell are they picking my patio?? And what can I do?  SignatureStocksRus? >And what can I do? Trap them and get them to the vet for vaccinations and neutering, then bring them home and release them. The howling most likely is related to mating and if you don't act now, you are going to have a much bigger problem in about 63 days (a cat's gestation period) and it will escalate from there.

Murray Neutering should help. We had an amourous male kill (by spraying) a yew bush next to my front door a number of years ago. I never could figure out what the appeal of my house was because our female cat had been spayed years earlier. Who's to figure cats. I guess he figured out eventually that he wasn't going to get lucky here. W >And what can I do?
