Help!! Cat eating my fish!

[in]

First and foremost, let me say that I love animals, all animals..... no matter what....ok ok maybe except snakes....

There's a bunch of neighbourhood stray cats who roam in front of my house. As I luuurrve cats, I don't mind that they consider the front of my house as their personal toilet.... leaving me surprises every other day.

I recently 'planted' a water liliy in a huge pot. In it, there are about 9 red fishes (of the lonng-kang variety). My fish-a-roos a happy lot, swimming about and greeting me with joy whenever I feed them. Then one day, none of them greeted me ...... That's when I realised that my fishes are in grave danger....!

They have now dwindled to only 3. I know for sure who the culprit is as I can see wet cat-paw prints on my porch...

Help! Anyone has any advice to offer on how to get rid of the damm cats.


Thanks
Some who used to to love cats.

[Chermaine]

Sorry to hear that. My turtle also off and on disturbed by my neighbour's cats. Always peep and ready to act....
Now whenever we see the cats around no matter what is the time we will throw the fellow with stone. Spray with water, if you want the fastest way throw with your own sandal/shoe. Stare at them and make them scare. I still remember at the Bangsar house. One morning we woke up saw a cat in the house. At that time most of the windows and doors were closed. That was the right time you can make the cat go crazy. My husband chased him round the house upstairs and downstairs made him bang on the windows/doors. They will look for all the exit where they came in from, at that time they scare to death when you chased them so can't really figure out where to escape. That is the best time you can see fear in their eyes when they stop to rest. You just moved a bit they will run for their life. I hate cats.

Cheers, Cher :p

Hi In
I too love animals .I grew up with cats and dogs. I woudnt want to hurt any animals as they too want to survive.

Since you too love animals you could either feed these cats so that wont be hungry for your fish or cover your pond/pot with a wire mesh..this is the only solution i can think of.

Cheers

[CCY]

Hi Cher .. I would rather teach them some manners not to pop in again .I treated one the same way that midnight in the bedroom the way I teach the kids with the famous rottan .
Hey ...that rascal came back some afternoon ...afternoon and deposit it's stinking **** on the matress , pull the bedsheet over to cover it as well . It need a second rottan session another midnight ,this time closed the windows first . And you know what ... I never see it again or maybe it's plotting for a third try . Guess what my good neighbour almost did ...call the police ...hahaha...

[Cindy Kee]

Inject poison in some food and give them to the stray cats. I do not think the poison would act immediately and thus your good neighbours may have to clear cat corpses from their gardens.

:)

[keroncong_asli]

Hello Cindy,
You must be joking !!!

Cat is also a living being. Why suggest killing it when the owner 'IN' could consider covering the 'huge pot' with wire-mesh or other human approach.

How would you feel if your neighbour apply the same tactic as you'd suggested to your pet one day ???

[Cindy Kee]

I do not keep pets. Why are we getting all sentimental about stray cats? There are people dying every day in war-torn countries and here in Malaysia. I do not see people protesting about such deaths?

[eLMo]

Hi there guys....I think you guys are fabulous generating ideas...but it is all wrong....salah...no...tak boleh....

Giving them a lesson??? no.....it will lead to abuse....

Poisoning them??? lagi tak boleh....later if their soul doesnt feel happy or pissed off....they will haunt you....

I propose two solutions....the concept is that "animal problems" shud be handle in "animal ways"......
1. Get a doggie....as we all noe...dogs X cats...n cats X dogs..
2. Get a rat...n a cage....put the rat inside the cage...so next time...when the cats are here, they will aim at the rat...and not doing other stuff.....it is like going to GSC n watch movie for them...

:D Joking....I think you can call pet centre to pick them with the help of MPSJ....I too...notice that the population of cats around my area had doubled....n they are MENACE~~~~
But for the time being...I just keep do my best not to make things worst...

For example, you caver your aqua with some fence....????...you noe the one that look like this => #####......I dunno what they called that....but you noe what i mean....

I think soon...pasukan MPSJ will take some actions to help us...so for now...jus do watever that is nessary to prevent them...

Last advice..."Never underestimate the power of stupid cats in a large group...":p

All the best.....eLMo^_^;

[kwchang]

In my opinion, only <strike>keroncong_asli</strike> jeya (my apologies for the error) gave a sensible solution to the question posted by the person who started this thread. As far as I am concerned, this thread has been answered with that solution.

I am, however, amazed by the inhumane outbursts by people who hate cats or any pet for that matter. Shame on you. Psychological harassement on poor cats that were trapped in your house? I am really astonished with the types of characters lurking behind all the sweet facades that I had been made to imagine from previous posts.

What happened to the caring society?

[orchipalar]

Ahem...hopes Orchi isn't being labelled as being insensitive to pets related problems....err....Orchi's home is also being constantly 'invaded' by stray cats...err..more so than stray dogs....now....Orchi could be wrong..but Orchi thinks....the impounds are used to be filled with more stray dogs than stray cats....coz....the 'catchers' are normally targeting those stray dogs..more so than rounding up stray cats....why is this so?...are the stray dogs being easier 'targets....'?

Err....comparing both nuisanes....creating mess to the garbage bins....dumping smelly poops....being roudy n noisy....Orchi could bear with it abit more...when it comes to stray dogs....rather than the problems creating from stray cats.....hmmmm...come to think of the original problem with this topic....it was about cats invading the aquariums...n being smaller in physical size....the stray cats would even invade sneaking within the homes....where Orchi thinks....the stray dogs would NOT have done such 'damages'....:(

[in]

Hi everyone. Thanks for the suggestions.....my my.... some were rather extreme! Just to clarify, I cannot put a wire mesh over the pot as my water lilies grow out above the pot.

This is what I do now. Whenever I see them at my porch/garden, I just shoo them away. Sometimes I do staring contest with them....I usually win .... and they go away!

Actually I was hoping there was some kind of kampong-remedy so that the cats will stay away..... you know something like ....put garlic around the pot (effective for vampires too!), sulpher...(isn't that for snakes?).....

Regards

Hi In

There is no way you can stop a hungry cat..maybe you could transfer the fish to an aquarium..this way you also enjoy seeing the sideview of your fishes.

Cheers

[Firefly]

You wanna borrow my compound bow?

[CCY]

I laid a mouse trap- for mouse only -in my kitchen once and the next day I snare a cat on that mouse trap . Lor .. have a hard time releasing him/her from this tresspassing .
It looks like we have to bear with this ' Mau ...mahu and Tak mau ' reply thingy at that period /time at the back alley after all....?

[in]

Hi Jeya. I need the fish in the pot so that no nyamuk babies live to be adult nyamuks. I also don't want to kena saman if there's a surprise check.

Firefly, sorry..... but what's a compound bow?

[lady-o-leisure]

From this thread we gather that not to many people are pleased about having a bunch of stray cats around the area. One tried to come into my hse last night. The kids went to pat/stroke it.. until they felt something like ticks.. freaked out and ran in to wash their hands. Aiya.. no wonder my dog has ticks even though it never left my compound in ages. I have a terrible dislike for black cats and even though there are many strays at the back alley, my dog only barks at the black one. I think he knows i hate black cats. (Long story). I dont hate cats at all.. just hate black ones.

Chang dear, since majority here are against stray cats in their area.. u want to volunteer your home to adopt them? hehehe.. I'm sure u hv the connections to hv them spayed/neutered maybe for free? :)

Let us know. I wont mind rounding them up to be 'snipped'. A few are pregnant again at the back there. When i moved in to this hse.. we found an abandoned newborn kitten. Poor thing.. I tried my best to keep it alive and get that blasted mother cat to take it.. but she refused. It died a few days later. Those male cats should be kicked in the rear for lack of control.

I can understand Chermaine being angry with strays entering her home. Who knows what nonsense it would do when no one looks. All those germs when they climb on the kitchen counter, and dining table, and who knows what else it would do when no one is around. Yuck!

[pcyeoh]

I empathise with all those facing horrendous problems with stray cats. If you don't have a dog or a compound bow in your house, you will be fighting a losing battle with such animals especially when they have nine lives. I dealt with them in my own way. I won't go into details what I have done and capable of doing as I don't usually take prisoner. You can say that the dwingling cat population x 9 lives can be attributed to me. Just be cruel to them until the whole catville have labelled my house as cat unfriendly. They have even issued travel warning to its cat population that my house is a high risk place to visit whether to have dinner or just pure "mahu tak mahu fun" The only cats I like is The Alleycats. Hingga akhir nanti, I better disappear lest a yellow cat ... er er I mean card is flashed on me by our Eveready Flasher.

[jeya]

Hi In

This must be a very intelligent and a wily cat that can do his own fishing from a pot filled with water lilies and roots and all..wow!!! I am indeed amazed.:D
Cheers

[orchipalar]

Ahem...PCYeoh:)...guess lika Orchi....u too might be needing some lessons or manners...on how to 'proper' handle these stray dogs or cats issues...humanely possible....in the neighbourhood....since Orchi isn't a pet owner anymore...otherthan being the X-'flower horn' owner....n a freaking probable victim of 'cat eating the fish' one...how about those freaking pet owners whom are letting their pets to wonder around....doing the 'harimau...or mau tak mau...thingy'..or whatever that these strays do?..what can be said n done instead...about these so called 'animal pet lovers'..eh?

Can we not rely on the city council to act accordingly on the matter?....to seek help with them...?

[in]

Hi Jeya,

hahaha.... not wily... more like lucky! As mentioned earlier, my fish-a-roos were always swimming about at the top, not afraid. But now, they definately fear fro their life.....after the numerous cat attacks, the surviving 3 now always hide at the bottom of the pot ..... can hardly see them nowadays.

The actual fish-eating culprit is still around but doesn't hang around at my place anymore..... it's new hangout is a few doors away. I think its because I won the staring contest one too many times......

What's attacking the fish now is 2 very very curious kittens who will peer into the water expectantly....... while balancing precariously on the pot edge. A few days ago, one the kittens sort of slipped and half of its body fell in. It must have gotten the shock of its life...... because I haven't seen them near the pot for a few days now. Well lets just wait and see....

Regards

[jeya]

Thanks IN., for relating to us your little dilemma, all the best to you and have fun with the antics of the cats.

Cheers:)

[Cindy Kee]

We are talking about stray cats. Yes? Not about somebody's pet Persian. Stray cats are fighters. They can be vicious and they carry diseases. I respect kind-hearted and caring people in the society who have so much affection for them. I have no problem with that at all. In fact, I do admire such generosity of the hearts. As for me, I am more inclined towards pcyeoh's and firefly's ways of handling stray cats. I know, their remarks may be tongue in the cheek but I tell you what I do with those dangerous and filthy stray cats.

I put food out on the driveway. They come. Yes? I put food out the second day. They come. Yes? The third day I put food out and wait with a kettle of boiling water. The fourth day. They do not come any more. They go and bother my kind-hearted and caring neighbours.

:D

[farouk]

What a joke...3 days to get rid of stray cats, first by enticing them with food then 3rd day wait with a kettle of boiling water?!! Come on..how is the cat suppose to know what you're gong to do with boiling water unless u throw the hot water at them. WHy not, not entice or put food down for them in the first place?

I personally am not a fan of cats but would never scald, poison or intentionally hurt a cat irregardless. What happen to animal rights? DOnt they have a right to live? Why not drop it off at Paws or SPCA?

[Cindy Kee]

Mr Farouk. It appears that you have a problem with me and my posts. I have a right to express my views. If you do not like it, kindly do not insult me with your tirade. After all, I did say that I have the utmost respect and admiration for kind-hearted and caring people (such as you). Thank you.

:D

[Cindy Kee]

What animal rights? That - together with human rights - has got to be the most over-used and over-rated words.

:)

[farouk]

Miss Cindy,
DO not get me wrong...I have NO problems with your post...although I must say ur opinion on this topic about dealing with stray cats is cruel and uncall for.
Miss Cindy, kindly do not mistake an opinion from me as an insult.
If I was to see you throw boiling water at a cat(or any animal) u enticed with food on ur driveway, I certainly wouldnt keep quiet about it.

[farouk]

WHy compare human rights to animal rights? Why compare human deaths to animal deaths...isnt there a HUGE clear difference between the both?

[Cindy Kee]

Mr Farouk. I can throw all the boiling water I want on stray cats which intrude into my compound. But of course, if you happen to be around, I would not do so but instead make an offer to you to take away the cats to be kept in your house. Mr Farouk. Your opinion has become a veiled insult when you said 'what a joke...'

:)

[Cindy Kee]

Mr Farouk. A difference between human rights and animal rights? Well, to some people, it appears that animal rights are more important than human rights. Don't you think so?

:)

[Cindy Kee]

Mr Farouk. I believe if you really want to carry on this conversation, we have to do it off the forum or we would be accused of straying (as in stray cats) off the topic and both of us could get yellow cards.

:)

[farouk]

Miss Cindy,
Allow me to apologise and rephrase accordingly:

Wow, 3 days to get rid of stray cats, first by enticing them with food then 3rd day wait with a kettle of boiling water?!! Come on..how is the cat suppose to know what you're gong to do with boiling water unless u throw the hot water at them. WHy not, not entice or put food down for them in the first place?

I personally am not a fan of cats but would never scald, poison or intentionally hurt a cat irregardless. What happen to animal rights? DOnt they have a right to live? Why not drop it off at Paws or SPCA?

[farouk]

Miss Cindy I totally agree with you. No more on the topic.:)
No harm was to be done.

[Cindy Kee]

Mr Farouk. Apologies accepted.

:)

[farouk]

Oops, I meant apologies to Mr CHang for going off track and to cindy the rephrase...but ok.

[Cindy Kee]

Mr Farouk. I thought you were a gentleman. Well, forget about it. I retract my acceptance.

:D

[cjtune]

Does the local pet shops sell cat-repellents?

http://www.critter-repellent.com/cat/cat-repellent.php

Might be a more humane (albeit expensive) option, not that I'm the sort of a person that would bother to go for it...

[kwchang]

Farouk and Cindy,
Please stand in your corners and slap yourselves 10 times for having violated the rules (I am glad you people came to your senses before I came online to flash the yellow cards again) AND for acting like alley cats. One more outburst and you fellas go to the cooler.

[jericho]

Same as kwchang, I'm amazed and disgusted as well when reading a few members' confession on how they tortured and harmed these innocent stray cats. Worst still, some even feels proud by his/her cruelty.


Surely there are more pressing practical problems than Animal Rights, such as homelessness; haven't you got better things to do? Inherent in this question is an assumption that it is more important to help humans than to help non humans. Many of the consequences of carrying out the Animal Rights agenda are highly beneficial to human. Tom Regan outs it this way:

...the animal rights movement is a part of, not antagonistic to, the human rights movement. The theory that rationally grounds the rights of the animals also grounds the rights of humans. Thus, those involve in the animal rights movement are partners in the struggle to secure respect for human rights -- the rights of women, for example, or minorities, or workers. The animal rights movement is cut from the same moral cloth as these.

Please visit this link (http://www.spca.org/site/DocServer/DiscouragingRoamingCats.pdf?docID=414) of SPCA and in there are some sensible and humane ways to discourage roaming cats in your compound or house.

[Cindy Kee]

Mr Chang. I have taken note of your warning. However, there was also a person who registered with a nick similar to my name and posted some hysterical message which was meant to belittle me. Now. Am I ever going to get fairness in your moderated forum?

Mr Jericho. Thank you for your expression of amazement and disgust. I have no problem with that. Those are your views. You have the right to express them as I have the right to express my views. I find your argument on human rights, woman rights and the rights of ants and beetles necessarily flawed. But because I have more tolerance than you, I do not find your flawed arguments amazing or disgusting.

:D

[Cindy Kee]

Mr Chang. I do not mind to stand in the corner and slap myself 20 times. I do object being called an alley cat. It is a great insult to call a person an alley cat. Or by any other animals, except perhaps for Teddy Bear or Winnie the Pooh. I thought one of the rules in this forum is no name calling? Please be fair. Mr Farouk and I were not having outbursts. We have disagreements which we managed to solve amicably without being moderated.

:)

Admin note
I said "acting like alley cats"
I did not call anyone an alley cat.
Actually, I wanted to say "acting like children".

[jeya]

Oh! my goodness all IN wanted was simple solution of preventing the cats from nearing her pot.. she got a barrage of inhumane ways to deal with it..my my my... ..I want to puke.:mad:

Just been teaching my nephews to be kind to animals:confused:

By the way, Cindee, please cut the crap with all those repetitive type and dots.

Glad that someone find the punctuation marks and dots annoying.

If only ppl can write decently in plain text, I won't be a copy cat. My apology goes to kwchang - Mr Moderator and others. Hope I won't be accuse of being an apple polisher agn.

[pcyeoh]

I was at one time cautioned.....in fact reprimanded when I called a certain gentleman "....a different kind of animal" Without naming the animal, my statement is merely a figure of speech. But for KW Chang to say that Cindy Kee is "acting like alley cats" and went on to justify his statement is utterly "ungentleman." I am afraid I am flashing this yellow card at him (exercising my netcitizen arrest) He should have tender his apology since Cindy objected to being compared to the alley cats which we have discussed at length to be a nuisance with their "mahu tak mahu" meowing in our backlanes. And saying that he wanted to mean that she and Farauk are "acting like children" is like coming out from the frying pan into the fire. Don't further rub salt into the wound. Don't belittle our forumers. And lastly, please don't use ungentlemen language on ladies like "please cut the crap......" A more appropriate way is to say "please refrain from further using all those repetitive type and dots."

[farouk]

I have never in my adult life been compared to an alley cat or a child and this would be the first. I agree Cindy and I were not having an argument but merely sorting out our differences in animal humanity. If that is childish I wonder what it takes to prove we are adults?

[isarahim]

Probably you need to start a real eye-for-eye, tooth-for-tooth, hair-for-hair catfight.

[Cindee_Key]

Without taking any side, calling a person 'A different kind of animal' is even worst than calling another an Alley 'backlane' cat. Why? because you're referring him / her as inhuman, a term which is not easily accepted in our society. Fortunately, cats are known to be a lovable animal and some ppl won't mind being call a cat. It would be a different story if kwchang had called them alley dog, alley snake, alley monkey or worst still alley pig. I believe he mentioned 'alley cat' in a jester.

Perhaps in future it would be more diplomatic if a Moderator reprimand a Forumer through personal email. Why wash dirty linen in public ? To err is human, to forgive divine.

[farouk]

I understand he may have used it as a jester or whatever..I am just saying NOW, I dont care cause it isnt a big deal...so let it slide. Why drag it on? He could say we were behaving like little girls for all i care!
:P
Isarahim: Thanks but no thanks.

[kwchang]

If it makes anyone happier, I will apologise unreservedly for having name-called another Forum member. There is never any excuse even if it was in jest. In retrospect, my statement can be taken to be offensive and I shall take it back. So let's get on with discussing the topic and not deviate too far off track.

Now I gotta find my "red eye" avatar back to watch you people better.

[Cindy Kee]

Mr Chang. Your apologies are accepted.

Cindee. Cut the crap (I am learning fast) and stop being a troll. I have no wish to be associated with any animal and that includes alley cats.

[Cindy Kee]

Mr Chang did advise us to get back to the topic. Members have suggested bow and arrow, poison, boiling water and pcyeoh has darkly suggested some innovative methods which he kept to himself. Now. What do you people think of using a blow-torch?

:D

Having said that...on the other hand...the same nos. of people would also hate n deal with any of them.... with their OWN reasons n beliefs....

Should Orchi were to be in your shoes...having faced with the same scenario....freaking Orchi could have done the same...or the extreme...:)

In Orchi's home...it is no secret that Orchi has kept quite a few lengths of ROTANS...in various lengths in thickness...n Orchi wouldn't for a while hesitate to use an appropriate one...to punish..Orchi's own 2 boyz...whenever they were being rascals in the house...n as well as being a nuisance to the other neighbours....:(

[cjtune]

Tried finding out about the cat repellent yet?

If the local shops are not selling it, maybe you can get some help from a neighbour's dog -get the bawdy fellow to pee a bit on your lawn every few days... the scent of a dog might deter cats from coming in. But as to how the doggie pee smell might affect you, compared to the harassment of the stray cats, is another thing.

[Pets=Friends]

Hi I'm new here. I was alerted to this thread by a disgusted reader that posted in the spca forum under the banner of animal abuse. Evidently after reading all the replies, I'm very saddened by the fact that some people have resorted to poison, traps, boiling water as a mean to exterminate cats even strays.

First and foremost, from a pet owners perspective let me assure you that we DO have a life other than our pets. We still go to work in the morning, send our children to school, hang out with friends, have birthday parties and etc like everyone else. So, please don't judge us like we're some freaks that love animals more than mankind and yes we do treat our pets like family, that I admit. I understand that people are dying in the world and Malaysia, of poverty, malnourishment, crime and disease but truthfully be said that we can only do so much in preventing war, crime, world poverty. Yes, like every concern citizen we are, we donate blood, organs and money to charitable causes but for us animal lovers with higher compassion for life, we value the life of an animal as much as a human being. I also believe that what goes around comes around.

Stray animals are abandoned animals and they can be any breed, persian, siamese or etc. I am a responsible pet owner and I expect the same from other people who keep animals. People who let their cats wander around into other people houses, run over by cars are not worthy of keeping animals. They should be permanently barred from ever keeping animals. Please do not punish the animals just because they are neglected by their owners. Do not poison them because of the stupidity of their humans. Call MPSJ, talk to your neighbours if you must but don't take it out on a defenseless animal. Don't be a bully!

P/s: Dear In, I think there are some powder in the market that you can buy that can prevent mosquito larve/eggs from producing in the water. You don't really need fish in the pond.

Its been some time since I last posted. My 2 sens worth. I used to live in a terrace house in usj and I always had this problem with my neighbours cats. There has been a few times they ****ted im my garden and I had on a few occasions stepped onto it. I ended up swearing and cursing but I resorted to non lethal ways like sneaking up on them and giving them a shower from the garden hose and on occassion I spray my side of the garden with chlorox on the driveways and the nooks and corners whey they like to hide. After the effect of the chlorox wears off they do come back but its more humane but they are nevertheless a real pain in the ass. To me it is a issue of ownership responsibilities rather than taking it out on the animals themselves for it is not their choice they they are there but the people who bought them and reared them. They are the bigger animals in this case. Because of all the hassles of having to deal with dim witted neighbours, I decided to move to an apartment instead. Do not have such problems but staying in apartments bring with it a host of other problems but that is another story for another day.

There are people who bring their dogs for **** walks and they do it in the little area in front of your house as if it is your good luck that their dog wants to **** in front of your house. I can't understand why they can't bring their dogs to **** in front of their own house!!. I can tolerate people keeping pets but they should keep their pets to themselves. They do not have to share their cat/dog pee and **** with their neighbours.

Speaking of which they are some who pray to their gods and burn incense and paper. The burnt paper would normally fly into their beighbours compound and everytime they pray, their neighbours would be blessed with the carbon black soot. There's less of it now in usj. And the list goes on....

I totally agree with pets=friends and as for saml, what can I say ...some pet owners are just very inconsiderate when they take their pets for a walk or let them loose. Sometimes its just a 'tidak peduli attitude' At least twice a week I have to deal with cat and dog poo in front of my porch. I know it isnt my neighbours pets cause they(neighbours) would never let that happen(and if it did, they would clean it up) but its just people who take them out for 'walkies' and happen to walk them right on my front step! Cheeses me off but hey I wouldnt hurt them(animals) in anyway, would like to give my say to the owners though(if and when I manage to catch them)

I especially dislike those uncles and aunties who walk their "branded" dogs to the playground in the evening and "pee" at every trees and trunk and never bother about the children who was at the playground, worst still sometime they let loose their dogs and chased the children, this is happening at the playground between USJ13 and USJ16.

I'm incredibly, terribly, hugely impressed. 6 pages of which 4 of them dedicated to animal rights, human rights, cat rights and fish rights.

So, why not? I thought, lets join in the fun...

Yes there are many cats in USJ, yes IN is losing fishes. Yes, fish is nice, I eat them quite often, and I have to pay for them too...so why not let the cats have some fish on me?

Besides, it's more fun when you catch them yourself.

And I offer to replenish IN's stock when they are completely depleted, or even down to 2, which is 3 now, correct?

IN, you can contact me anytime.

Er, no, I don't particularly like cats, dogs, or even fishes, too much work if you ask me.
