If I didn't have any extra large vicious predators around, I'd probably just staple some hardware cloth over the vents.
Why import an exotic when a good old Texas bobcat would do the trick in no time.

Oh yeah cats make good bait.

Perhaps you should just close up the holes in your roof/attic - problem solved.
The cats are no doubt eating the mice, squirrels, etc that are also getting in.

Its not the cats fault you have a hole that they and anything else that size or smaller can get in. Why don't you put the blame where it actually belongs -- which is on you.

I purchased a small size, but still strong powered electric fencer to hook the system to. Just wait until the first one hits the wires while standing on the metal roof - ZAP ZAP ZAP. Betcha my attic stays cat free and I'll bet after a week or so I can turn the system off.

I wonder what would happen if I were to ground the porch roof to the ground of the fencer.
The answer is;

Yes it is. I have a neighbor with 15 cats so enjoy reading how others deal with this.

If you can catch them, you can heft them out of the attic with this:

Hey! A diet aid!

Oggie, I like the cat carrier. Since Nick's cat pee'd on my bedspread today, I'm thinking Zonker kitty needs some tough love...

You know, I hadn't thought about bobcats!!!

Yesterday my aunt told me one of the local's asks her regularly if she has ant bob tailed male cats... seems he's wanting to breed his bobcat.... As if a bobcat and a bob tailed (house) cat would breed. Course, they might, if the conditions were just right......

I've seen that ad for years and always wondered why they used left handed threads.
