Plenty of large preditors here in Northern Minnesota, Wolfs are coming off the endangered species list, theres so many bears around companys have popped up selling bear proof garbage cans, you can't put out bird feeders, and the deer population allows licensed hunters to take 10 a year if they apply for extra permits at no cost.
If you've ever seen a fox play with a house cat it is an absolutly amazing site, 2 very equal animals with the house cat, as long as the claws are intact taking a slight smart advantage and the fox taking the brute strenght advantage. One was pacing back and forth next to my neighbore garage last fall looking up, on the roof of the garage was the cat, one paw dangling over the side as it sneered down almost with the look of a giggle at the fox. The fox would slowly walk up the deck to get an angle at jumping across from the deck to the garage roof but the cat was perched just far enough away from the foxes landing zone to jump back to the deck at the exact same moment the fox jumped, and the cat would hit a slender piece of railing and land gracfully on the deck as the fox landed on the garage roof. Now the fox could not jump back quickly enough as it needed to gather balance after landing on the garage and momentum for it's approach back to the deck, so the cat would lick itself for 10-20 seconds before the fox could land back on the deck and the cat would spring right from the sitting position on the rail to a soft landing back on the garage roof. Then the fox would pace around and contemplate it's options. Pretty comical, alot of people don't let the fat lazy declawed cats out because the fox as a preditor can do a quick number on a slow cat with one or two quick neck snapping bites.

I vollentarly took myself out of the gene pool. ;)
I think I have a feral cat problem.
I own a "split ranch" style home and the lower level has windows that are just a few inches higher than ground level. One of my two cats loves to sit on the windowsill and look out. Well for the past year some cat in the middle of the night has been commng around and tearing up the screen, terrrifing my cat and destroying the garden. I've replaced the screen with "animal proof" screening, no good. Spread coyote urine out there (doesn't last), chased the cat through the yard in the middle of a freezing night tossing water at it. One day I came home and the screew was completely torn off the frame and I think the ferral cat got into the house. My cats were spooked for days. I'm constantly woken up at night by cats howling and screeching. ARRRRRGH. My cat sitting in the house has scratch upthe beautifully stained wood when this cat comes around to taunt her.
I just bought a garden hose sprayer attatched to a motion sensor. Let's see if that works.
Lower windows at the right of the steps (by the flag) are the problem area. : (Actually if you look closely, you can see my cat Gizmo in the window. ;) )
We love cats. Yes, thats a Cat weathervane on the roof. :D

Drew, where did you get that motion sprayer? Does it need electric to run? I could really use that. My neighbor has a disgusting dog that he lets run. It is a male that has not been "fixed" so it has this need to pee on everything ...at my house. My dog is a female and although she is fixed, I guess this male still needs to mark territory. I have written letters and talked to the owner, but he is arrogant and couldn't care less. The dog bit my friend's daughter and another neighbor...but no one would report it, so it still runs loose. Anyway I would love to scare it away from my deck and front step. It comes right up to my back door and pees on everything on my deck. including the steps to my hot tub!!.. I am so sick of this dog and his irresponsible owner. Actually, I would like to hose down the owner too!
Thanks,BOni

Bonnie,
I just (yesterday) order it from here:
http://www.amberleaves.com/viewitem.cfm?DI=520212&SOURCE=NEXTAG
It runs on water pressure and batterries. They claim the batteries can last for months. I'm hoping that after a few weeks the feral cat gets the message, other wise, the have a hart trap comes out.
It was the lowest price I could find on the net. ($52. Most places were asking $79)
Bonnie would be all over the local animal control officer about your problem. Irresponsible pet owners really get me upset.

I'm thinking floodlight, scope and silencer.
Does anyone else have visions of Caddyshack?
