Put the wild cat back where you trapped it. Cats are cute and interesting and suitable for keeping as pets, but stray cats who break into your yard to chase birds or pee on your lawn are not so popular. Besides, stray cats may spread viruses, so you certainly don't want your pet to get sick! Don't worry, whether you are dealing with stray cats or stray cat families, you can drive them out of your yard by the following simple methods and never appear in your life.

Method 1: Don't provide food and shelter for wild cats.

1, cut off the food source of wild cats. First of all, the trash can can't be full enough to overflow, and the lid of the trash can must be tightly closed. Don't leave organic residues such as leftovers around the trash can. You should also remind your neighbors to cover their trash cans tightly. Even if food is scarce, cats can survive, so it is almost impossible to completely cut off the food sources of wild cats in your area.

If you are feeding wild cats, the food should be at least 10 meters away from your house. Don't put food in front of the door unless you want to encourage wild cats to approach.

2. Dismantle any place where wild cats may hide, or block access to the above places. Cats like to find warm and dry places to avoid bad weather. If they can't find a suitable hiding place, they will run to other residential areas. So, you must block the hole under the porch and make sure that the door of the hut is closed. You must also remove the accumulated wood and trim the branches and leaves of dense shrubs, because wild cats may also hide in these places. If you find wild cats gathering somewhere in the yard, find their shelter and block the entrance.

Tip: Plywood and barbed wire are cheap and are the best materials to block the opening. Nail plywood or barbed wire to the opening so that the cat can't get in.

Buy an insect repellent and spray it in the yard. Many manufacturers produce cat repellents containing chemical components. These sprays contain ingredients and smells that cats hate (these smells may be natural or synthetic). If you don't know how to use a cat repellent, please refer to the instructions on the product packaging. Spray insect repellent in the yard where wild cats often appear. Cat litter can be bought in most pet shops and home improvement shops.

These goods are safe and nontoxic to domestic cats and wild cats.

If you can't control the number of cats yourself, please call the stray animal control agency. If your private property is occupied by wild cats or stray cats, you may need to call the stray animal management agency. The staff will take measures to catch the invading cats, but they are usually euthanized after being caught. Removing all cats in an area will lead to a vacuum effect. New cats will quickly occupy the vacated space and use local resources to start a new round of reproduction and growth.

Method 2: Drive away the cats in the yard.

1. Install a motion-sensing sprinkler to scare away approaching cats. It is a well-known fact that cats are afraid of water, so they will stay away from the spraying range of sprinklers and your yard. In order to avoid spraying wet passers-by, sprinklers are set to work at night. When wild animals enter the range of 1 m around the sprinkler, the sprinkler will start spraying water. This method can not only drive away cats, but also water plants, killing two birds with one stone.

2. Throw the peel of citrus fruit directly in the yard. Cats don't like the smell and taste of citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit. The next time you eat these fruits or juice, you might as well throw the peel in the yard-the cat will definitely hide.

Note: planting citrus trees in the yard can't drive away cats, because trees don't give off a strong smell.

3. Cover the cat's digging place in the yard with barbed wire. If you find stray cats always digging in your garden or biting exposed roots, you can keep them out with barbed wire. Pay attention to the area of barbed wire not less than the area of the whole vegetable garden when buying. Spread the barbed wire directly on the ground and hold down the four corners with stones, so that the wild cats can't move the barbed wire. You can buy various lengths of barbed wire in hardware stores or home improvement stores.

4. Plant herbs and plants that are not popular with cats. This method is similar to the principle of driving cats away with the skin of citrus fruits. If you plant herbs in the garden that cats don't like, they won't come to dig the soil again. You need to plant at least three or four of these plants to drive cats away completely. Plants that can drive cats away include lavender.

Lemon thyme

rue

Mentha labiatae

5. Sprinkle black pepper where cats gather. When cats lick their paws to clean their bodies, the black pepper on their paws will make them feel spicy. If you often sprinkle black pepper in the yard, the cat will soon associate your yard with the pepper on your paw. Sprinkle pepper under the porch, under the shed, on the balcony or anywhere the cat plays or sleeps. Black pepper can also be sprinkled on the grass, but it should be sprinkled frequently, especially after heavy rain.

Method 3: adopt disinfection stocking method.

1, arrest the wild cats that appear in your private territory, send them to be sterilized, and then put them back in their original places. In the long run, the most effective way to solve the problem of wild cats is to trap them first and then send them for sterilization. Buy a plastic or metal cat trap that won't cause discomfort to cats and use tuna, sardines and cat food as bait. Put the cage where you often feed wild cats and cover it with a blanket. After catching the cat, don't let it run out. Cover the cat with a blanket to make it quiet.

You can buy this cat trap in local pet shops, animal shelters and home improvement shops, and it won't bring discomfort to cats.

2. Don't send wild cats to stray animal shelters. Many animal shelters don't accept wild cats because most wild cats are not easy to tame. Wild cats are cautious and don't like being close to people, so they shouldn't be taken home for domestication. Wild cats entering the shelter can hardly escape the fate of euthanasia.

Note: You can call the local animal shelter or animal rescue organization. They will tell you how to effectively use traps to catch wild cats, how to avoid being scratched, or how to avoid wild cats being injured.

3. Send the cat to the pet clinic for sterilization, and cut the ears for marking. Many pet clinics provide free sterilization services for wild cats to solve the problem of the increasing number of wild cats. I suggest you call the nearby pet clinic and animal shelter and ask if there are any activities suitable for your situation. Tell the staff that you want to send wild cats for sterilization. Most veterinarians also cut a gap in the cat's ear, indicating that the cat has been caught and sterilized. You must tell the veterinarian in advance that you will bring a wild cat, because some pet clinics don't sterilize wild animals.

Sterilization is a more humane way to prevent wild cats from breeding and control the number of local wild cats.

4. Take the wildcat home to rest. Once you send a wild cat for sterilization, you will be responsible for its health in a short time. Take the wild cat home and let it return to nature when it is fully recovered. Never release a cat that is still awake after being injured or anesthetized into nature.

5. Put the wild cat back where you trapped it. Sterilization will harm cats' body and mind, so familiar territory is conducive to them to start a new life. In addition, male cats will not let strange male cats near their population, so the chances of mating with other male cats are reduced, and the number of wild cats is effectively controlled. The ultimate goal of sterilization and stocking is to prevent wild cats from breeding freely and without restrictions. In order to effectively control the number of wild cats through sterilization and stocking, most wild cats should be arrested, sterilized and put back in their original places. Slowly, the number of wild cats will decrease, because the female cats no longer have children.

If you sterilize the wildcats that visit your home and take them home, you can feed them safely, because these wildcats won't have any more children.

Stray cats are domestic cats separated from their owners, and wild cats are cats that have never been domesticated, born in the wild and have been living in the wild.

Sterilization and stocking are only applicable to wild cats. Stray cats who once lived with people but left their owners should be sent to animal shelters. There, they will be washed and adopted by humans again.

If the cat harassing you is a legally registered pet, you should contact the pet owner and ask him to keep the cat at home. If the cat owner doesn't cooperate, you should complain to the local animal control agency or the police station.

The most effective way to reduce the number of wild cats in an area is sterilization and stocking. If you are afraid of trapping wild cats yourself, ask the animal management agency to help sterilize and stock them.

Trash bins in restaurants always become food sources for stray cats and wildcats. The main reason for this situation is that the garbage cans in restaurants always forget to cover them after use, and only when they are completely filled will they be dumped. If there are always wild cats or stray cats visiting the trash can near you, you'd better talk to the restaurant owner and discuss how to pack the garbage more tightly.

Warning not to push the wildcats too hard. Wildcats can be fierce sometimes. If you are scratched or bitten, please go to the hospital for vaccination immediately.

Never try to hurt an invading cat. This idea is cruel and inhuman (it is illegal to hurt cats in many American States).
