here is what my county's animal policy is for cats.
Weld County - Animal Control
Weld County Animal Control is under the direction of the Weld County Sheriff's Office who is charged with enforcing the dog at large ordinance for Weld County in unincorporated areas of the county. The ordinance requires dogs to remain on their own property or within owners direct control. Fines for first offense are $25.00, second offense is $50.00 and third offense $200.00 and fourth offense is mandatory court appearance. The animal control officers also respond to calls of animals at large such as emu, ostrich, alpaca, llamas, goats along with many others. The animal control officers assist utilizing the resources available to them. Bites are handled first to determine if the dog is in violation of the at large ordinance and then as an assist other agency and referred to the health department after a 10 day quarantine is placed. . Cats are not regulated

Shooting a pet with a BB gun can and will get your ass thrown into jail for a felony (animal cruelty, there was the Wal Mart case recently). Shooting to kill with a weapon indended to kill (read, NOT a BB/pelet gun) is allowed, but then you have to follow firearm regs. for your area. That means live traps are the ONLY option in MANY places for removal. Deterring the animal is also easy.
"vermin" such as a mole is very different.
Not going to be shooting 'em, just like the post said before, since it is definitely AGAINST the law in my area. Even BB/Pellet guns are illegal. I can't technically put out poison, but what if I had a dish of milk or something rigged up to the 220V line? lol Just a joke. And PROOF that cats get on cars, for those who doubt:

Now if I were wandering in your bedroom, you'd have a point there, bud. (I'm not supposed to BE there...) Cat-herder.
Kittycycles. :thumbsup:
Seriously, who can prove your the one responsible for freezing their cat. Just make sure you throw the frozen cats out of your yard. Or you could string em up using fishing line and hang em around the property as a reminder to the other cats, but that would probobly just be distrurbing.
Well you're a ripe dumbass....of course the cat doesn't know, but the owner SHOULD so you can blame the fate of unwanted cats on the poeple too irresponsible to take care of them by keeping them contained. Last time I checked my yard, my garage, and my vehicles were MY PROPERTY....not some feline's to do with what it sees fit.
Or after you trap it you can always drownd it
:evil:
BTW: that was just a joke. I love cats and have two myself (named Max & Blackberry). And a dog (Tuffy). And a guinnea pig (named Taffyapple), and field mouse (named Cornflower), and ball python, and a box turtle, and a snapping turtle, and an african clawed frog, and salamander, and numerous fish. Good Lord, when you put it all in writing, it's a freaking-huge bunch of animals!
also BTW: I didn't name ANY of those animals, my kids did
last year i killed 67 squirrels in my backyard with a pellet gun. Gotta protect the vegetables :evil:

Hey guys, my cat's breath smells like cat food.
j/k
But I have a gripe about cats walking on my car and urinating on it too. It sucks but I can't do much about it. They belong to our next door neighbor. There used to be an entire gang of them but most of them ran away and then the main two that used to mate, one got ran over by a car a few months ago. So there is only one left and it's alone.
But trapping them and taking them to the shelter is definately a good idea.

Um... while I agree that people who let their cats roam are somewhat assinine, I am not sure that you can assume that's what happened. Maybe the cat escaped. What a selfish attitude, to want to kill a cat just because it annoys you.
I'm starting to hate cats.
My neighbors (?) have a few (don't even know how many neighbors or where or how many cats for that matter) but they wander into my yard (over the 6' fence) and have started using my backyard as their sandbox.
This wouldn't really bother me too much, except my dog considers it her god given duty to remove all the cat excrement from my yard. BY EATING IT. Argggh. Talk about bad breath.
I had some foam padding laying out one night and woke the next morning to find it shredded, and then some supiciously cat-shaped clean spots (with corresponding claw scratches) on the hood of my jeep as well. Not to mention the big steamer I found on my hood the day after I accidentally left a small container of antifreeze on the floor. lol.
I'd welcome any humane suggestions to keep them away. You'd think that just having the dog around would do it, but she spends 95% of her time indoors and certainly at night, so that's not working out.

Another thought. I believe that with a small game hunting liscence all would be perfectly legal with a bow and arrow or preferably a slingshot. It's on your property and hunting has never been considered cruelty to animals by any court that I have heard of. I don't believe there is a bag limit on cats either.
That isn't going to work unless you live in the country and I don't condone the use of a bow and arrow because there is just too much room for wounding the animal. I do not want the animal to suffer and having an arrow stuck in it's side but still alive is horrible. Trap them as I stated earlier and let the pound euthanize them....it is humane and solves the problem.
You've been watching too many tv movies.
A modern bow will put an arrow through a deer. In one side, out the other, unless it hits a larger bone. In fact, an arrow will go through a black bear as well (again, provided it doesn't hit bone). Now, for the typical cat, even if the arrow hits a bone, it's still going to pass through (or, depending on the angle, through until the arrow is 4 or 5 inches into the ground, at which point, the cat will be pinned in place.
Anyway, I don't condone the use of a bow either.

Just for the sake of knowledge, in homes in the U.S., there isn't a "220 V line" - it's 2 wires out of phase at 110 volts each.

I'd agree, but how are your going to get a clean kill with a BB gun. It probably ain't gonna happen, that's *why* they shot it 4-5 times. I think the multiple shots is just about as bad as multiple days, they did both and deserve what they get.
I wouldn't want to test the lines considering it's felony charges.
edit: even if it takes 4-5 shots with a BB gun, what's the guarantee you will be able to get the 2nd+ shot off? The cat could take off and never be seen only to die slowly. Again, BB guns are not meant to kill. A misplaced shot isn't going to be the same as a misplaces shot with a gun, ala too injured to run away allowing a kill shot.
