How do you solve a cat problem?

[Cajuncowboy]

I am really ticked off with a couple of my neighbors. We live in a very nice area and nice homes. But I have a problem with a couple of cats from my neighbors. We have a great bird watching area and my wife and I love all of them that come to feed. We have everything from Cardinals to Blue Jays and mocking birds and yellow finches. The back yard is flush with these birds.

However I have seen my neighbors cats come in my yard several times and attack these birds, kill them and leave them lay on my driveway.They defecate everywhere as well. My neighbors on the other side have the same issue with these cats. I am just about ready to plug these cats next time I see them and take their bodies out in the sticks and dump them.

Before I go postal on these cats is there anything I can lay down along my property line that will detract the cats from coming on my property?

And for the record I have mentioned it to the cat owners and they don't seem that concerned.

And just to be clear, I really hat cats. All of them. They could all shrivel up and die right now and I wouldn't miss them at all.

Plant catnip in areas of the neighborhood away from your house.

Get a super soaker.

Chinese restaurant delivery menus?

A pit bull that eats cats?

Get a dog
spray them with water
check to see if there are lease laws applicable

Check with zoning/pet laws and see if cats are allowed to run loose.

Many areas have put in place laws that cat owners are not allowed to do that.

Maybe get some smarter birds? Seriously, how oblivious are these birds in your backyard to predators?

I mean if birds are at a feeder, that seems the time they're the most vigilant, that's just part of their instinct.

Either you have the Seal Team Six equivalent of felines in your area, or the Lenny and Squiggy/s of bird-kind.
