Dealing with a feral cat

[JBuk]

Shooting it, illegal, declawing it illegal, soaking it with a hose for hours, animal cruelty, illegal and i'm amazed you'd even suggest such a thing.
If you're that fussed, mince it up, take it to the butchers centre or something.

:/

This ^^

Also, cats have a barbed penis. You need to ensure you replicate this by sticking toothpicks into yours.

You have put unpleasant images of voodoo-groined-man-on-tomcat action in my head. Damn you!

Actually to stop it invading your territory you need to show it who is boss by having sex with it


I saw it on a nature program

i cried with laughter. well played.

just scare the thing off, i had this problem and just threw something at it. never seen it since.

You could try coaxing it into your house and then shove it in the microwave?

Invest in a dog!

Trap it in a box, take photos, post them here, and we will decide it's fate via a forum poll.

Water torture, LOL!

Trap it and RSPCA it.

Trap it and trade it in to the local indian/chinese for a curry or some such.

That's like a ***** from hell.

Cat + Bag + Rocks + River = Win!

Not really, if I were you, I'd go with the trap it, box it then release it miles away option.

Super-Soaker? I also belive cats dont like the smell of orange peal.

Like others have said, seek advice from the RSPCA.

Or alternatively:

genius

my old dog used scare other dogs away from our cat, was nice to see.

if you dont like dogs, then i must admit id probably consider shooting it.

Hand grenades solve everything



















Or, quickly wrap up a hand grenade in wool after pulling the pin, then throw it to the cat hoping it like wools balls...

Shooting it, illegal

Actually no. You are allowed to 'control' the feral cat population if they're on your land, especially if they're damaging livestock. Poisoning is discouraged as it can damage the other animals that'll eat the carcass. And human traps are legal but I think leg traps are illegal.

But, if you are considering shooting it, make sure it is feral cause the fines for shooting a domestic cat are quite heavy I believe.

That happens about once a week at my house. Damn cat!

Feral cats
The domestic cat and feral cat are one and the same animal - Felis catus. The family pet is classed as the personal property of its owner and any unjustified control may lead to prosecution. Although the cat's owner cannot be held liable for its actions, they could sue for damages should their cat come to any harm or go missing.

Feral cats are prolfic killers of nesting birds. If it can be shown that they have bred or are living in the wild then they may be humanely despatched.

You can also fill a water pistol with orange juice and give it a good squirt - when it comes to clean it's coat it hates the taste and so it acts as an excellent deterrent - much more effective than just water or anything.
