Rex has caught a couple of the neighbors de-clawed house cats that escaped their home. They could not scale trees and he treated them like he does raccoons and opossums, they took a whooping before I rescued them from Rex the wonder pup. He's almost 10 now and they won't come near the house which suits us both fine.

If you don't mind investing some money, in town use of an electric livestock fence can repel critturs and provide some entertainment value.

This question is to Doug and the other cat fanciers. Let's say that I am your neighbor and I could prove that it was your cat that did the damage to my truck, would you pay to have it repainted? It is a one off custom color, so you will be paying for the whole truck to be repainted, because there is no matching it.

I do agree however that who ever's cat that was that caused the damage should pay for the damage no doubt! That goes back to the personal responsibility issue I mentioned, seriously lacking in today's society and even more seriously needed!!! Big deal to me! Letting cats run where I live is not only illegal here because we have sane laws about such but it's also being a crappy neighbor. On top of that the pet stands to get hurt and more over I like songbirds and cats are serious predators. Letting our pets run is just not something we do for a multitude of reasons. On the real side though, I've been a gearhead most of my life, cars motorcycles etc and I'm really sorry yours got damaged.

Hypotheticals
Ok, I'll play the hypothetical game....Suppose I was your neighbor and while you were away on a business trip your wife came over to my house and I, um, ah, never mind. Let's just say we'd be working out the details the way men work out details in either case. My neighbor's dog got out and killed another neighbor's chicken. Does anyone kill all dogs on sight? Nope. First neighbor paid the second the price of a chicken. Cattle got loose and trampled a neighbors flower patch--same thing--nobody shoots cows on sight. If it was a few gallons of a special pink color of car paint in your hypothetical, I guess I'd be opening my wallet if it was my cat.
I'm just messing around, Qaz. If you own an animal or have a kid, chances are you're going to end up forking over some cash for some stupid thing they did. |

Qaz, listen just man up and go talk to your neighbor about it I'm sure if you approach it civilized you will get the same respect in return. I call Bull$hit on the paint job and matching the color as I was a bodyman and painted cars for years and could blend and match colors on vintage cars for strict customers. On second thought, if the truck is that important why not build a garage as the elements themselves reek havoc on paint. The cat is just doing what is natural to the cat, people are destructive to there surroundings on a daily basis and think nothing of it and should know better. One thing always holds true- karma is a bitch. PS- try the fox urine on your tires. |

Hi Qaz,
I would suggest contacting your local animal control office and see what type of assistance they can provide. Some locales offer assistance i.e. trapping, traps, etc. Tough decision, and a personal one at that, doing what is right, best, legal, effective, humane, or combination thereof. May the outcome be successful. Speaking of "traps", maybe a catapult would just the ticket. I do like cats, just can't eat a whole one by myself. My wife and I are servants of 2, Shiloh and Goex, we lost Kimber our big 16lbs orange tabby to cancer a couple of years ago, had to keep the sliding back door latched, he would hook his front claws around the edge and pull it open. All the best, Michael. Last edited by AzSam; 10-01-2015 at 03:32 AM. |
