Find one of those "lost cat" signs around your neighborhood. Call them and tell them that you have found a cat. You will tell them where it is, but they MUST dispose of it even if it is not theirs.

Either that or get a trash bag, hook the poor little critters "we luv Muffy" collar with a rake, put it in the bag and seal it. Put the "worm food" in the trash. Take your hose and pressure blast the yard area for several minutes. If need be, put some lime down. If its REALLY bad, put the dirt in with the carcass and fill the hope with fresh dirt/sod.

Problems like this are much easier to take care of when first discovered.

Reminds me of my Mother-In-Law. She had a nice car and lived out in the desert. She went out one morning to go to work and all the car did was make a racket. She took her other vehicle to work. A couple WEEKS later she asked me to look at it..... ::cough cough:: I found several... the count was impossible, cats/kittens in the fan belt, shroud, etc..... Since it was getting colder at night, they were climbing up near the warm motor. It cost her BEER. Nuff said.

Well, whenever our dogs decide to leave us "gifts" out in front of our house we usually just stick it into a garbage bag and throw it in the trash. I've never been particularly worried about getting diseased from them since I'm not eating or grabbing the carcass with my bare hands. I've used this tried and trusted method on everything from small rabbits to parts of deer. Yes, our dogs have brought pieces of deer up to our house....
