I live in a condo complex that prohibits pets from roaming free. However, several nights over the past week, there has been a cat that has been visiting my indoor cat after midnight. The cat comes onto my back deck and sits outside the doorwall while my cat goes nuts and starts howling and spitting, wanting to fight which of course wakes me up.

Your cat isactually delighted to have the company.

He’s awake and bored usually while the People Humans are sleeping.

If you think your cat can lick the other one,let him out.

Borrow a cat trap(large havahart) from the animal control officer and bait the feral cat into it. Then take to animal control for disposal.

MOVE!

[umgud]

Get a bigger cat.

When a friend of mine was due to inherit a cat along with his new wife, I made him a Dr. Whacko Feline disposal Kit consisting of a claw hammer and a hazardous waste disposal bag. NOTE:It was a joke.

We had the same situation a few years ago at an apt bldg I lived in once. It started with one. Then apparently, the other tenants were feeding the cat, and overnight, the other cat brought 2 more of his buds to the building. They were like freeloading liberals. The manager had to call in animal control, and they were the laziest, inept people she dealt with.

My current plan is to set my live trap outside and catch the damn thing. Then, I have a letter to the owner telling them to keep their cat indoors or else I will take it to a shelter and they will never see it again. This is wrapped in cellophane which I will wrap onto a collar that will be put on the cat when I release it.

Am I out of line? I love cats but I firmly believe that they should not be allowed outdoors in urban neighborhoods. Right now I'm thinking that if I trap the cat tonight I'm better off driving it 10 miles away and letting it go and permanently putting an end to this problem. But my better side says to send the message.........

Any thoughts?

Take your cat on and then the winner of that fight goes out and takes on the wandering cat. It’s called survival of the biggest with a broom. If your cat wins the first fight, at least you’ll feel more at ease cleaning the cat box.

Contact the management company or the HOA if you’re an owner.

Borrow a cat trap from animal control, catch the cat, and turn it in.

So actually trapping neutering and releasing is the program. Go to your aspca and ask for help with trapping, likely they will neuter for free, then release. They should have an rfid reader, so if the cat has a home and isn’t snipped, oops.

Feral cats can be recovered, if found as kittens and your wiling to spend the time. Otherwise they’ll be happier out. Worst case wooden box with tuna rubbed on the door. Heavy door with a counter balance that cuts away once its been opened and the cats well inside.

Cage it and take it to the humane societ

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Post a sign on the community bulletin board or by the mailboxes that animal control has been patrolling at night looking for a nuisance cat.

Please do not hurt the cat.

[Salvey]

If it’s truly not a feral cat, why not “adopt” it?

A long time ago and in a town far away, there was a cat getting in the garbage can outside in the carport.

It was discovered that a .22 short is barely audible, and effective.
