Another SERIOUS animal problem
I have a hybrid series of barn cats at my farm. It is a fairly busy rural road and the cats cross to hunt in a deep ditch and 80 acre woods across the street.
They look both ways before crossing. My neighbors have complemented me on how well trained they are because you can see them turn their heads in both directions before proceeding. I've often thought about changing their feeding location to the middle of the road.

Another SERIOUS animal problem
Just wanted to warn you guys to be careful. On Foxnews.com this morning it reported a cat shot its owner in Marquette, MI. Seems he(the cat owner) was cooking and had a loaded 9mm handgun next to him on the counter. The cat stepped on it, causing it to drop to the ground and it fired wounding him.
Wander what brand of 9mm he had. You should be able to drop the weapon without it discharging. Suspect Paul Harvey needs to tell us the rest of the story!!

I haven't had a cat problem since my dog cornered the neighbors cat and almost sent it to the happy hunting ground. I kept the dog from killing. Even with a pea sized brain, the cat learned and hasn't been back.
Good dog! Here's a biscuit.

They say you can't teach cats to do tricks, they're wrong.
If you release a Jack Russell at a cat you can teach it to run right across the top of a pond in about 0.75 of a second. They remember those lessons pretty well too.
I was in the yard and a barn cat from across the street wandered out of the bush, I made a half-hearted attempt at imitating my pooch's bark. The cat went from 0 to 60 in a pretty amazing burst of speed, the stupid thing never even turned around to look at what was making the noise.
I presume a little embarrassment is far more preferable than the "Terrier Death Shake".
The part that scares me about the little bugger is he runs from door to door trying to get out when the coyotes start to howl. I guess they are close enough to foxes for him.
I know of people who have packs of Jack Russells who routinely hunt as an organized pack and easily kill coyotes and foxes, or anything else dumb enough to get caught.
Best of luck.

Murf, you've gotta love that terrier attitude. Clancy, our West Highland has that same terrier attitude and fearlessness. We were visiting on her deck as a black bear of about 300 lbs wandered into my sisters yard. While her big golden retriever cowered in the corner our 13 lb little white ball of fury lit off after the bear. It happened so fast that all we could do was watch him nipping at the legs of that bear as it ran off at full speed. The contrasting colors made it special too. It was completely automatic and there was no stopping him. It's made for a great story for our get togethers.

Another SERIOUS animal problem
My brother in law uses a bow and arrow, works well in confined spaces too. I have one here now that has survived two winters, the rest in the fields are all the neighbor cats. I leave it alone, it is a survivor and kills the mice around here but tends to spray the doors on occasion as it battles for territory with my cat.
I have more of a problem with the skunk and raccoon.

Another SERIOUS animal problem
Some friends of ours had a cat get in their house while they were on vacation. The cat caused $10K worth of damage. It was in every room in the house and was still alive after a week. Their son came to check on things and found the cat and the damage.
If a cat could kill moles then I might consider one, otherwise, I have no use for cats.
