We have a lot of feral cats in our area, along with our own cat, Midnight. He is an outdoor kitty. I know he likes sleeping in the hayshed ... is there a way to tell if any hay is contaminated? Is there a gentle way to keep him out of there? He usually sleeps in the milking room, but you know cats, they like to explore wherever they aren't supposed to.

Since we store only half ton at a time & have barn kitties, I put anything against the bales so they don't spray on it & cover the top with old feed sacks.
Did not read the whole artlcle that Tim gave link to.

Read the article, thanks, Tim. Our cat is a neutered boy, and he is territorial, so maybe he is actually protecting the hay ... :shrug: Any bales we find poo in we'll definitely throw away ... haven't found any thankfully. I think he prefers to do it outside. He rarely goes in the goat pen because they scare him away.
