How about a nice bowl of antifreeze next to the cat food. Lock your cat up to make sure it doesnt start consuming it.

i would be worried about our neighbors outdoor cats... that would definitely do it though

I would let the neighbors know to keep their cats locked up for 1 night while trying this out.

A blast from the past. That was a great thread. Well played sir.

I'm glad someone else remembers that.

It was the "dickscarf" fad of 2005.

yep

You need a motherfucking snake. A huge motherfucking snake in your motherfucking yard.

 

[Bibble]

Build one of those squirrel launchers and put the cat food in it. I'm sure the night air will reek.

 

[Freshgeardude]

nuke it from orbit, only way to be safe.

btw we need a dickscarf shirt in the atot store

Get a live trap from your local animal control center. It's basically a box just big enough for whatever you're trapping with trap doors on each end. Skunk goes in, doors come down, problem solved. A skunk can't spray if it can't raise it's tail. We used to have to do this all the time when I was growing up.

 

[alevasseur14]

Either that or just stop leaving food out at night. If the food's gone long enough, the skunk will stop coming.

 

[moshquerade]

You need this.

 

[Jumpem]

A .22 would take care of it.

 

[geno]

Your cat is a wuss, getting punked by some mark-ass rat with a stripe on it. If your cat were a MAYONNN, he'd show that skunk wtf is up.

 

[AnMig]

.22 BB gun fired from inside your house to muffle the sound, then again it may spray as it gets shot. If it doesn't kill it it may learn to stay away.

I heard you need to get a head shot for an instant kill to prevent it from spraying.

I've done this twice, also. I didn't think about the tail-raising part. I was told to just walk up to the trap slowly and throw a blanket over it to keep the skunk from spraying, so I did. I was also told to drown the skunk in the trap.

The first time, I mucked it up by trying to drown him in a garbage can, which required turning the trap on end to get it to fit. This was at my girlfriend's house, and I had planned on using the bathtub, but she found out and disallowed it. In the trashcan with the trap on end, the door released and the skunk got out. So I had this skunk in can full of water with a blanket on top of him trying to get out. He kept popping his head up under the blanket, and I'd keep pushing it back down. Kind of like that whack-a-mole arcade game, without the mallet. Evetually, he gave me the slip and got out. I still didn't get sprayed, somehow.

The second time I was close to a lake, so drowned him in the lake. Coincidentally, this was at a different girlfriend's house. She said we could just cut through the neighbor's yard to get to the lake, because they were friends. Unfortunately, the neighbors' kids were playing at the lake with a bunch of the friends.

"What's under that blanket, mister?"

"...uh...nothing's under the blanket..I'm just gonna wash it in the lake. Yeah, that's it. Wash it in the lake. You should probably go inside now."

"Aaiiieeee! He's drowning a skunk! He's drowning a skunk! Aaiieeee!"

Kind of harsh, the whole drowning thing. I'm not fond of it.

Good luck.

Just bring it in the bush somewhere.

And why are you putting cat food outside? any kind of food put outside will attract animals.

I remember feeding the chipmunks and the squirrel by putting nuts outside. BAD idea. Had a whole colony of crows trying to get to the nuts LOL. Was actually funny to watch them work together to get to the nuts (under a chair in tight area).

The solution is obvious to me. The cat is fat; control its diet. Only feed it a little bit when you see it for a while and the skunk will go away to find food elsewhere. When the cat slims down, put it higher up so the cat will have to work harder and the skunks will never find it.

It's obviously an out-door cat.

Don't kill an animal when it's your fault for attracting it.

 

[BabaBooey]

Keep the furball inside and poison the food.

Run up and pick it up by the tail before it gets a chance to spray. It can't spray unless it's back feet are on the ground.

i will try this tonight and take pics of how it goes. expect a PM with results

I don't know how agile skunks are, but maybe you could feed the cat on platform the skunk can't reach.

i built the cat a stilted house thats 2 feet off the ground, with the food on the deck area. the skunk gets to it no problem. i fear that if the foods much higher than that the fat ol cat wont be able to get to it.

maybe if the cat's really fat, then it's been getting it's food somewhere else, and so doesn't need this food, so all your problem's are solved?

I read the title "skank problem"

This is not nearly as entertaining.
