| Call your local police station and ask for the Animal Control Officer.
He/she can probably help quickly. Some officers use tranq guns
to stun the varment, then he wakes up someplace else. Traps and
poison are inhumane....but sleeping and waking someplace else should
not be too bad!
Good luck to your sister!

| last time I talked to her it had not attacked for 5 days. seeing
how she has a bad heart I talked her into checking with the county
extension agent. I know this stresses her & the birds out to the
max.

Has anyone found out how to make a ring tailed cat stay away from
an outdoor avery? My sister has one that is jumping from trees
onto the side of the pens. She can not put out posion or large
rat traps due to the neighbors cats and her dogs.
Any suggestions would help. Have a heart trap is not working.

Assuming that a BB gun is either not practical or not acceptable for other
reasons, I'd suggest playing with the idea of 2 layers of aluminum screen that
would act as a switch. Place the 2 screens far enough apart so normal breezes
won't cause them to make contact, but the weight of the cat would. These 2
sheets of screening would be used as the switch to make a battery powered bell
ring or turn on sprinklers or lights or however exotic you wish to get. No
doubt it would startle the birds too, but I'm sure the cat's already doing
that.
Be sure the screening is aluminum and not nylon. This mechanism would be
inexpensive (less than $20 for everything), easy to install, environmentally
safe, no danger to kids, requires no monitoring by your sister and, at least
the first few times, should scare the rings out of the cat's tail...
Good luck
