ATV Florida Forum

I need some advice on cat laws in Fl., We are having some issues with the " new " neighbors cats roaming around freely, climbing on my trucks and SCRATCHING the shizot out of them. Keep in mind we have two LARGE dogs that go NUTS everytime these cats are in  our yard.
 Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

My advice.. Let your dogs out, they will take care of em.

I would put something on your truck such as cayanne pepper or spread some hot pepper oil on it. That should take care of the problem.

22 shorts are quiet and very effective at close range.  >:D I hate cats :gr

Get a small game trap...Put some cat food in it...when you catch the cat either spray paint the cat Orange or Green and let it go... >:D....

                                    OR...



Drop the cage in the pool with the cat in it.... :o 

Well, the guy and I went a couple of rounds last night, Threatening me that I made a big mistake by telling him that I was gonna "live trap" them and bring them to the pound.
I would love to let my dogs have them, but I was trying to be a good neighbor, and a responsible pet owner, unlike my new neighbor.
 Guess I will have some of my buddies in the "department" give him a welcome to the "south" visit.         
 I would like any and all suggestions, By the way chillin----- they taste like chicken ;)

I've heard that a bow works great. Arrows are real quiet, so I hear. Your best bet is a fishing rig to ensure you get your arrow back....from what I've been told.

I had that problem in my old neighborhood. The last straw was when they started crappin on my front portch. Got one of those box traps and caught six of them in four days. Took them to the pound and threw them in the overnight lock box each morning before work.

Don't put the trap out until after everyone goes to bed and get up real early to check it. If you got one put the cage out of site until you can take the darn thing down to the pound. Also lock your cage up to a tree. Cat lovers will steal it.

Good Luck! 

i did a search on google for you
When all else fails you can trap the cat in a humane way and transport it to an animal shelter. Make trapping a pet cat a last resort and check your local ordinances first!  In some communities, it is illegal to trap a neighbor’s cat even on your property.  Use a live trap baited with sardines or tuna spread on newspaper or a paper plate. Place the bait in the back of the trap so that the cat must enter the trap to get the bait. Check the trap regularly, preferably every hour. To keep from capturing animals such as raccoons and opossums, only trap during the day. Be very careful not to be bitten or scratched; stray or feral cats can carry rabies and other diseases. You can receive additional technical assistance on dealing with nuisance domestic cats through your local Humane Society or animal shelter.

Yeah, I told the guy last night that we were gonna live trap them , and take them to the pound. He flew off the handle and started threatening me with all kinds of stuff, this flippin idiot didnt know that a lve trap was NOT harmful to an animal!!!, he thought that I was talking about a carnivor, or " fox" type of trap ( city boy), anyway I am calling the animal control today, and some of my officer buddies to see what they can do

Just tell them that you are gonna video the cats on your cars scratching it and make him buy you a paint job. See what happens then.

.......arsenic. ;)

I hate cats as well.....

Did you know that cats almost always blink when you hit them in the head with a hammer?

LMAO...you should see them jump when hit by a BB

You guy`s are killing me !!!!, I didnt really want to harm someones pet.
I have however talked with our local animal control, they said that LEGALLY, I have every right to LIVE trap an animal and bring it to the pound, however you cannot do harm to it.


 Also, cats and dogs have the same rules, or laws9 from the animal control office in Citrus county)

DID EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT ANTIFREEZ??
 
  JUST CHANGE THE COOLANT IN YOUR CAR AND FORGET TO PIC UP YOUR
DRAIN PAN . OPPS DEAD CATS

Seriously, I have used live traps for coons, etc. in the past. I have a "Hav-A-Hart" trap and it works real nice. You can usually find them at any good feed store.

yes, we called tsc, and they have them.


 Thanks for everyones opinions ;D

Take, them  hual them off to beach like place called cedar key
or applachcola, I know alot boaters would love have cats to cut down rats over there.

We used  have hunter dogs come on our land and sometimes
we just cross   over river into mayo and drop them off in middle nowhere land. lol  ;)

My firends, down south used to haul off dogs when started killing  their dogs and cats  in their font yard and
they hual them off to everglades and never came back since.

I guess you don't have any kids :Wacko.gif(sterilize stupid people). I guess stupid people don't think before they type. I like both cats and dogs. You and your buddy's just offended many people on the site. I guess its ok to offend many people on this site. Right mods. And describe how to break the law and commit a crime :-\  Do the right thing dynodon, Don't listen to these idoits.

I doubt he really offended that many people. Either way, I'm sure dynodon is old of enough to know its probaly not right to hit them with a hammer.

We are just spreadin some humor around, dont have a t!ty attack over some fun!, you really think I would be serious if I said
" Use a bb gun, quiet, and leave's less a mess >:D "

Dont get riled up over messing around ;)


Hey dyno don,
I got a nice lil bb gun if you want to borrow, comes with a scope if you want to do it from a distance ::)

 

i think someone needs a hug.............. :-*


ps.   it offends me when you guys talk smack about chevy so i would appreciate it if the mods removed all the chevy smack talking threads. thank you. ;)

So we are not allowed to have any fun? I will write that down for future reference. Thanks for setting us straight TRX#9

Anoriginal is a WELL educated man and a pillar of his community. He was kidding around with the hammer remark. Please don't take some of the silly comments on these  threads to heart.

you hurt my feelings ;)

O.K., to set the record straight.
 I am 36 years old, thats open info in personal settings, I am also intellegent enough to know that some of these remarks were in mere fun ( joking around) I already stated that I would not do any harm to someone elses animal!!
 I hope this clears up any muddy water, but you should see how fast they climb trees when the dogs nipping at their heals, J/K ;D

please, please, not the hammer again. :'(

Did you know that stupid people without a sense of humor almost always bleed when you kick them in the head with a boot?

Don't be such a sissy! It was a joke! If you're that much of a wuss, how do you make it through every day? I mean sensitivity is one thing. Being ridiculous is another.

Now, go get your Mom to change your diaper, give you a new bottle and put you in your crib.  Meanwhile, I'm going cat hunting with Chillin, Gery350, Joedirt and Da_Mtg_Man.  We'll stay away from KawGIRL's cats beacuse they pack heat and I've already been shot once in my life. That's enough.

Hey, hey now, I want to go too !!!!
 I have not been hunting in two years now, and I am having withdrawls ;)

Sounds like wildcats to me!!! Well I do like full blooded dogs and tame cats to keep rats,snakes away during summer months here.. :)

So your going to kick me in the head now. Can someone say anger management classes >:( That hostility may be hiding some of your inner homosexuality :hotty2.gif Please get help!

i thought homosexuals DIDNT act so hositile, as a mattter of fact, i thought they got mad at the thought of hurting cats ::)

Don't be such a whoosy trx#9.
You have been here LONG enough to know everyone here makes jokes. To go and start calling people names and questioning their sexuality...? Get a life
I feel you have made every attempt (according to what you've written) to take care of this problem by going, like a responsible person, to your niegbhor. Since they are unwilling to help fix the problem by being responsible, you have every right to protect your property. That includes tghe paint job on your truck!
I trap for a living. Everything has been said as to trapping humanely. I would just stick a can of fancy feast in there. Forget spreading it out on a plate. LOL!
You may have to use the BB gun to herd them into the cage if all else fails.  :P

Ahheeem, now getting back to the topic:

You could try one of these out:

Hey trx#9! That was real cute. Tell you what, if you actually ride with any of these guys on this board, we'll probably get the chance to meet in person. Lets see if you'll make those kind of comments live and in person to me.  ;D

Besides, my boot to the head comments were directed at a class of people. Why are so concerned about it? Do you fall into that class?

Now go away little man.

Here kitty kitty kitty.

There is some very bored people on here. Tastes like chicken anyway.

Anoriginal calm down, don't get your patties in a bunch. Were just joking here.  :hotty2.gif                                         Mudnuri, are you still upset about the FTR bashing. Get over it move on. :'(

thats funny right there. ;D

thanks man. i needed a laugh like that. ;D

gery350

Oh, so now you're backing off and it is all funny and good.
Whatever wee man.

I hate cats.

They do taste good marinated with teryaki, Oooooh, Bourbon as well.  ;)

I used to live in town where a neighbor fed the wild ones.There were 30-40 running all over.I bought a live trap & went to work.I always tied the meat chicken legs or whatever for bait against the back cage.This way they have to paw at it & most time set off the trap.I trapped 28 cats before I moved.Some were as tame in a cage & some would rip your eyes out it was an obvious difference.

If your neighbors not responsible,trap it & get it to a place where they will fix it & re-adopt it.Most counties it is against the law to let any animal run free.Plus if your neighbor wants the cat back they will have to pay $$$ see how fast that fixes the problem.

The  animal control will come out within 24 hours to pick it up.If it is a Ferrel cat it will be put to sleep.If it is adoptable they will spay or neutar & adopt it out.The whole idea is responsible ownership.

I hate cats  because of this.Especially when the wild ones come into my yard with 4 German Shepheards to eat out of there food bowls in the garage!The last starw was broke after my dogs in my yard killed 5. The vet bills from deep scratches that theses wild cats will do was rediculous.

Good Luck.If you dont want to listen to me some of these other JOKERS had some Great ideas...LOL! ;D

 :(

I have set out traps ( live traps of course), I dont want to harm someones pets, .
 But, I guess putting the traps out have worked !!!. The neighbor must have seen the traps outside, because now he keeps them indoors for the most part !! ;D
 But the traps will stay out there as long as I see them roaming in my yard !!!

All I can say is WOW!  Y'all are some funny azz ba$tards!  Honda- love the disclaimer.  Will it be possible for other members to use it in the future?  Or do we need Anoriginal to write up the contract so we can borrow it w/o penalty.

Good luck w/ the cat delema.  I'd offer my .02 but I'm staying out of the firing range on this one.  Definately stay away from Kawgirl's packing pu$$ though, last I heard they are a good shot.

Maybe he read this post ?

MMM Cat Kabobs!!! ;D

Your pushing it BUSTER!
You just wait till this weekend!!!  (http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/1098/bunny1jt.jpg)

Some funny stuff here.  LMAO! 

The only cats I'm partial to are the fierce arctic cats that weigh about 700 lbs. and drink about 6.5 gallons of gas for breakfast.  Watch out for the green ones, they're a tough breed.   They wander the wilds of Florida, I hear. 

Mmmm... on a skewer with some onions & pepppers and sprinkled with garlic salt..   ;)

We must all go to the same Chinese Resturant    ;)  Double Pawed chicken wings are the best!!!!!!!!
