Two feral cats fight almost nightly in our yard. It sounds like two babies having a chainsaw brawl.

Two feral cats fight almost nightly in our yard. It sounds like two babies having a chainsaw brawl.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of them? The cats, I mean.

I almost wouldn't care, but there's a fair chance that they'll wake up one or both of my young sons.

7. she's someone who cares about stray animals
not someone who tries to find out "how to get rid of them"

9. Well, she's welcome to "care about" these two
And anyone who objects to my choice of the phrase "get rid of them" is welcome to them, as well. Just tell me where to mail them, and you'll receive them in a tightly-sealed box by the end of the week.

10. If they sound like babies, they're horndogs.
They're either in heat or they're fighting over a female. That's how most male cats get injured. Spaying/neutering is so important.
