Palo Alto man willing to take extreme action against cats

0 104



DEAR JOAN: I am not a cat or dog lover. I have a backyard with plenty of birds and the inevitable squirrels.

My neighbors, a decent couple, have just gotten two cats. One cat has already dug under our fence and is sauntering around in my yard. I absolutely don’t want it there. Is there anything either my neighbors or I can do to keep this cat on its own side of the fence? I don’t want it to decide that my yard is part of its territory.

I’ll talk to my neighbor, of course, but I assume his attitude — like most cat owners — will be, “Well, cats wander around, what can you do?”

I’m ready to scatter scary or painful stuff along the ground by the fence, but I don’t know what products are available.

Marty Klein, Palo Alto

DEAR MARTY: We’ll forgive you for not being a dog and cat lover, but maybe not for the comment about uncaring cat owners. While there are some people who allow their cats to wander, putting both wildlife and the cats at risk, there are far more cat owners who love and protect their cats.

You describe your neighbors as “decent,” so there’s no reason to expect that they won’t do the right thing and start keeping their cats indoors or erect a “catio” — a large enclosure that allows cats to safely be outside in the confines of their own yard, especially if you explain your concerns and the lengths you are willing to take to keep the cats out.
