Go to Alley Cat Allies for a list of organizations that do TNR and call one of them. They will help you take care of the problems you are having with them.
Once they are fixed then no more howling, fighting or spraying!

The cats are screaming because they aren't spayed /neutered,and they're being territorial,and are must likely FERAL(a stray non domesticated cat)This is what happens when irresponsible pet owners don't have their animals fixed,it's cruel for any animal to be subjected to constantly being pregnant and starvation .A cat can have a litter every 4 months ! I do Feral cat rescue IE; trap,have FIXED,release. After wards some stay so don't ,but I RARELY,if ever,have any of them acting aggressive (screaming, growling or fighting ) toward each other,when it does happen its cause is usually a NEW feral . There's a service called SNAP( Spay Neuter Assistance Program) ,there is a fee for their service to cover the programs costs,do a Internet Search to find the nearest location, there you can borrow a trap w/a deposit.SNAP will walk you through everything.Trapping isn't difficult.As for the alarm motion sensors , the sensitivity and the angle setting is set too low. Also do a Search for FERAL CATS, this will give you all the in-site to your situation .

I have the same problem and have done some looking. One a motion detector sprinkler cats don't care much for being sprayed with water, and there is a product with coyote or tiger urine than the cat senses a threat. I have found on line but haven't found in stores yet. Try your search engine and type it in because I don't know the web site off hand. I will be ordering it because I live in a large area and no one seems to carry it. Good luck and I will keep looking for your answers for one that i may not have seen. I looked at products that are sold but if you look at how some sites let consumers rate them I have yet to see one anyone rates that works.Best of luck, I am cat friendly but they chase the birds and my bunnies that are in my yard. There are things that are not humane but I also don't wanna hurt the cat, they are doing what comes natural. It is the owner of the irresponsible owners that are at fault There should be laws on this matter Good luck again

The local authorities will take them, they just won't catch them. If you are able to catch them, bring them in yourself in a kennel. If not, get a love trap and catch them. We had a problem with wild cats before when I did daycare. They like to use the kids' sandbox.... We set live traps, when they were caught, we called Animal Control, they came and got them. No charge.

Go to a sporting goods store on find one online. Buy humane traps for raccoons etc that only capture the animal and do not hurt them. Trap the cats and then take them to your nearest SPCA or Human Society or Animal Rescue League and tell them they are stray and ferel cats.

Find yourself a humane animal trap. Just set it up. Bait with salmon. Catch the little flea bags and check for tags. If they have them take them to the house and warn if the cat is found in my yard again i will bring them to the humane society. It worked for my dad.

We have the same problem. They love our bushes and made them their home. Our dog is tormented by them. In Arizona, the Humane Society rents you a cat trap. Yes, rents, believe it or not. It costs almost $100--non-refundable--to trap wild cats and turn them over to the Humane Society. But it's an option.

Either high frequency noise beyond human hearing or smell distaistful to cats and no others. Research what cats are afraid
of but not harmful to them. I like cats and don't suggest they
be harmed in any way.

you can go to a green house and get some pellets to spread in your yard that keeps animals out of your yard. if you don't a dog you could always get a large snake you won't be killing them just helping out the food chain. go to your local green house or pet store

You can use moth balls. Just put them all around your yard. More in the places they like to be, and then all around your yard. The moth balls will keep anything & everything out of your yard. You can also use moth balls for your attic, it helps with mice, rats, squarriels, & any kind of bug.
Hope this helps you!
