I live in rural area, and when I am gone from home, raccoons have a field day eating all my outside cats food. I prefer not to kill them, and a live trap would not work as I am sometimes gone for several weeks at a time. Any suggestions. and thanks.

As long as you are leaving food out they will keep coming, you are offering them a free meal! Remove the food and you will remove your problem! You should not kill animals for eating food that you are offering to them!! You said you are gone several weeks at a time?? Well, who is caring for your cats, how are you leaving several weeks of food out for your cats? If you have someone coming to feed your cat, then have them feed the cat indoors. If you are leaving your cat alone for several weeks, then maybe you should reconsider being a cat owner if you have no time for your pet.

only reading the solutions already left and can furnish extensive thumbs as much as a pair and others I only ought to shake my head at...Raccoons and Opossums are springing up to consume the foodstuff your cat could have left. do away with the temptation and that they are going to bypass someplace else. you may attempt trapping them or ask the community ASPCA to do it for you. warm water will only only get them moist and that they are going to quickly dry off, however the temptation remains there. Coyote urine will artwork, despite if this is going to upset your cat too. if your cat is acquainted with living exterior, then offering him with a heat, risk-free place to come again to while he needs is the terrific thank you to maintain him chuffed. it somewhat is horrific for a cat who has had his freedom to unexpectedly develop right into a "domicile cat". he will very probable tear your house up attempting to get out...I as quickly as knew a cat that ought to somewhat climb the partitions for desiring exterior. damaging element develop into completely unhappy her finished long existence. advantageous, she lived longer (possibly) yet she develop into skitzo. Have him nutered and make advantageous he gets all his photos extraordinarily his rabies, he can get rabies by way of eating water after an contaminated animal has inebriated from the bowl, and function each and all of the ticks, fleas, lice and so on bumped off, shop an eye fixed on those issues and while he does help you puppy him, supply him plenty and many loving. Louler has chosen you to furnish him with some fundamentals, be proud, be chuffed and admire his felineness!

We have racoons too in our neighborhood and that's exactly what my neighbor does...leave extra cat food for the 'coons. They don't eat the trash anymore!

if you have to leave food outside there is nothing you can do. just leave extra food i guess.
