Hey guys, I need a little help. My cats have been getting trap by this guy across the street and they take them to the pound. And I have to drive and pay to get them out ... so what I am asking is do you know any thing or way to keep cats out of people yards or just their yard. So I can tell them what to use or get for their yard?

Sorry, I agree with your neighbor. As of yesterday I have had 5 of my turtles killed by my neighbors cats. So I have a trap out for them. I explained it this way. It is up to the owner of any animal to make sure the animal is safe and right now my yard is not a safe place for MY pets so I have made sure it is not safe for their cats either. If my dog was going into their yard and killing their cats I am sure I would be hearing from them too.
So ultimately it is your responsibility, as the owner, to keep your cats home. Not up to the neighbors to keep the cats out.

I am sorry for your lost. Yeah I know what you mean. These people have killed many animals. Cats, dogs, birds, others for no reason at all. I have turtles too but my cats have never touch them but the cats like to drink the water out of the tank. But I did find some things that might help. Maybe you could look into A motion-activated sprinkler that might help or unless you want to trap them. I heard one or two times of getting hit by this the animal will stay away.

well this solution is costly, you can get electronic collars for your cats. I use to have electronic collar for one of my dogs because she likes to explore. It solved that problem. It will give them a jolt whenever they are to far. Another solution is to keep them indoors.
