So what is a Feral Cat anyway? A Feral cat is either a pet cat that has been abandoned or run away… Or it's the offspring of another feral cat. Either way, these felines live in the wild and are similar to pet cats. Some homeowners, have had troubles with feral cats and want to know how to get rid of cats on their property. These cats can destroy property and they use gardens and landscaping as their litter box… YUCK! If your pet isn't strictly an indoor cat, feral cats can spread disease and cause fights that can harm your pet.

We’ve weeded and hoed . . . we’ve trimmed and pruned . . . we’ve created yards and gardens that just ask you to sit a spell and take it all in. Of course, these havens are also quite attractive to wildlife! I've seen the damage these critters can do (last year they ate my vegetables before I could harvest them and chewed on my landscaping) but I worry more about the potential pests and diseases they can carry in – especially ticks and parasites. I was trying to find out how to keep squirrels and other critters out of my garden in a humane way.

My two boys have made me pretty immune to the “treasures” I find around my house and garden! Snakes, crawfish, frogs . . . not for the faint of heart but definitely good for an adrenaline rush! So when I saw the fish tank tipped over on my garden work table, I figured we had a new frog or lizard for the collection. After all, it was filled with twigs, some string and even bits of fur. I didn’t want it to escape – so I tipped the tank upright (very carefully, so I didn’t have to touch or see anything slimy). I even put a little dish of water in the corner until the boys got home.
