Hello-
We have had a TNR'd feral cat that we named Callie living in our backyard since May 22. She "lives" in a little, insulated and heated house, just outside of our sliding door. I never leave food out. She comes to the door, I feed her and pick up her dish as soon as she's done. But it's winter, and she has been tentatively making her way indoors to eat, as long as we stay far away from her and keep the patio door open--hello heating bills! LOL. I have had raccoons come to my patio door every night this week, but she wasn't around except for one night. I never open the door for them and I never feed them. I am worried about Callie getting attacked by them. They are massive for raccoons.
My husband wants to hire a pest control company to trap them and release them. I really don't want this, because I don't want Callie getting caught in one.
Does anyone have any cat-safe solutions for preventing them from coming into my yard? I don't keep any food out, my trash bins are locked down. I was wondering if predator urine would help, but I don't want to keep Callie away.
Thank you.
