Find someone in your area that does TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return). Cats
that are neutered are less offensive in every way, less fighting, less
noise, less marking of territory with urine. And, no baby cats.

I did it to eight cats in my neighborhood and the cat population is
now easily manageable. Two new ones moved in and I'll have to take
care of them soon or, well you know, more cats.

There are also motion activated sprinklers but I haven't tried any of
them. Hopefully there is some sort of logic to prevent them from
nailing the postman, etc.

Hello,

I am a researcher at Landmark Films, a documentary company based in Oxford who make films for BBC, ITV1, Channel 4 and Sky1. We are known for making access-led, intelligent, well crafted, warm and funny documentaries about human stories, different places and institutions. Our latest documentary series was Brain Doctors for BBC2, a three part series on the neurology department at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

In the new year we are due to start making a film about cats for the BBC. We would like to look at the UK's opinion on cats. We would like to make a balanced documentary and I wanted to involve bird watchers and lovers to get their opinions. Many people are having problems with the increasing number of feral cats in the UK, cats pooing on their gardens and killing birds in the area. The issue with cats killing birds has been raised by various scientific journals recently. I wanted to speak to anyone who is having a problem with cats in their garden or perhaps runs a business that is being affected.

Would anybody willing to have a chat with me about their cat problem?

Kind Regards,
Jessica Howe
Researcher
Landmark Films
