the story, ....




we have 4 cats. there is a stray that comes into our house every night, thru the cat door, and eats all our cats food. i have seen him sleeping in my garden tool shed so recently i started leaving a bowl of cat food out for it. after a few days of leaving food out i wanted to male sure that the stray was getting food, so i bought a trail cam.


the solid black cat is mine.

the tabby cat is mine.

the black and white cat is the stray.






then the other night this guy shows up, ....

he doesn't eat much and leaves the cats alone so he's cool.






the problem is, this guy showed up 20 mins after i filled the food bowl last night. he ate it all, leaving none for the kitty. i don't know what to do now.

raccoons are pretty cool, try feeding it live shrimp. Very entertaining to watch

it was in my kitchen twice last night. i woke up and found him trying to get into the cat food. i stood there for 5 mins staring at it before he casually walked away. he looked as if he would tear me to pieces if he really wanted to.

I don't think there is much you can do when the coons find cat food. They sure can do fatal damage to cats/dogs.

I use to feed the coons French fries, but I made sure they where very long.

I laughed... one picture its a cat... one picture its a different cat... then a different animal.... then a racooon hah..

 

[GoldenGanja13]

Yeah what the hell? You have cats, opossums, and coons? Bet you have a few bears and tigers too.

it's fun to go thru the pics every morning. it took 27 pictures last night. most of them of the coon. a few of the other hungry animals, .....

i got bit by one last week. i put my hand out to it so it could smell me and it simply tried to eat me instead. my wife is still laughing.

I don't know about you but I would DEFINITELY kill that bastard. They are mean as hell.

 

[lulutheblack]

Rabies! Rabies! Rabies!

 

[Rocky Mountain High]

Kittys, Coons and Opossums, oh my !

 

[Murfy]

rabies is a tough gig, and is easily caught from rodents and varmints-

a good slingshot with a steel shot will kill a raccoon easily. or a crossbow? or if you are not a murderer live traps are 40 bucks.

 

[lulutheblack]

Just use a shovel and let your aggressive survival instincts kick in LOL

 

[GoldenGanja13]

That's rough. I say get a dog and the coon will be about his way.

 

[lulutheblack]

No no no. Sure the dog will win but the dog could take a bite and if the animal is carrying rabies that's not good for the dog.

All kidding aside, get a trap to capture it. Then you can safely kill it without any harm to yourself or others, including your pets. If you don't want to kill it either take it somewhere far away and release it, or just simply release it on one of your enemies properties. =)

actually, i feed them from my hand.

it's sad that you'd kill something simply because it is being defensive.

i'm going to go buy a bigger bag of cat food.

I'm being defensive as well. If there is something lurking around my house that could potentially be a serious threat to my health or my pet's health then I will take all measures to ensure that the threat is removed and safety around my dwelling is restored. That's just me though.
