He padded into my yard, sprayed the front porch railing, left sign on the hood of the Ford, dumped in the flower bed by the back door, sharpened his claws on the bird feeder post, and died instantly from an aguila subsonic hp that had the nose flatted. I'm going pre-emptive henceforth. A few empty shells posted about are the tresspass warning now.

And his head on the gate-post as a warning...?

Hang out the paws not the heads. Crats judge each others size by the height of the scratch markings on the trees and bird feeder posts. Hanging up the paws with their scent glands will make the other crats nervous and hopefully they will avoid your "posted" territory(that doesn't look to be spelt right but my brain just went for a shit, think I will too ) derf

Why try to keep them out of your yard .
Most of the fun is shooting them .
IMO chasing them away is not fun.

why would you want them to get nervous and avoid the yard. I can't get enough in my yard. I'm fresh out of targets.

Actually Clay I could see much mirth in tossing the pricked can into the yard of the cat lovers down the street with hopes they would enjoy the additional attention and side effects of the "dose". After all they like'em.
