Our neighborhood needs more cars. The squirrel population is seriously out of control.
I never really gave it much thought.
I have some sort of bobcat or in our yard that has slowly eaten its way through most of our burgeoning autumn squirrel population. All we have left is a couple of small reds. and I would be willing to pitch them TO the wild cat!
Memorably, last month it took out one fat grey squirrel slowly, first the tail...then...
I do wonder whether the collar will attract wild animals at night. We do leave cats out all night, and they have all been facile at dodging predators.

If you’re not squeamish about doing something besides trying to hit them with cars, may I suggest the “Squirrelinator” .... got one of these last year. NO squirrels on the bird feeders this year. We do ‘catch’, but not ‘release’ - you may choose to release (if it’s legal where you are), but if you do release, the squirrels should be taken at least 5 miles away & 10 is better.
Note: for gray squirrels, you will rarely catch more than one in the Squirrelinator at a time since they are highly territorial. We did catch 2 once ... a small, young squirrel was in the trap & a large, mature squirrel went in after. Not a good scene, but I was keeping an eye on things so the fighting didn’t last long.
This morning I saw a hawk with a squirrel in its talons. How many more squirrels have to die in order to satisfy the blood lust of birds?
