Dealing with a feral cat

Would the RSPCA (or more accurately SSPCA up here) be interested? There isn't actually an animal in distress....the feral beast seems quite happy to be terrorising the local cat population.

On another note, do you think you could take a cat in a fight? If it was HUGE and was really going for you? I'm not so sure. I think if I trap this beast I'll be putting on heavy duty gloves, goggles etc before I try and coax it into a box.

Since you're in Scotland, could it have been a European Wildcat? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Wildcat

I will pay large quantities of money to watch you try and catch a feral cat and then transport it in your car.

Reminds me of an ex-girlfriend. If you can trap it then the RSPCA must be the way to go. How to you plan to trap it?

lol


lobster trap ??? or washing basket and some card underneath with a big rock on top ?

arnt cats against acidic stuff like lemon etc (acording to a mate of mine they used it on their crtins to stop the cats climbing and it worked for them) ??? keep your cats in doors for a week and spray the outside of your garden with lemon juice but quite abit as the smell dies off quickly and itll be put off ?

don't hurt it, it won't understand and won't solve the problem

What does it matter that it can't understand? You're not trying to reason with it, you're trying to protect your cats from being physically attacked, possibly killed. If my cats and neighbourhood cats were being savaged nightly by a vicious cat and no owner took responsibility then I would do my best dispose it in a humane way without any trace of guilt.
 
each to their own I guess

I'm no pansy animal rights protector, but belting a stray cat seems a little harsh imo :p
 
maybe it's time to beef up your cat :p

our tomcat ripped a strays tomcat's eye out before :o, he still comes back each year to try it on
 
just have a bucket of water always at the ready to chuck over it, it will soon get the message. It worked for us on an unwelcomed cat. That and the fact that I ran screaming after it everytime it appeared!
 
The rscpa will NOT come out if you trap it , they are counted as vermin and as such should be dealt with accordingly .

Trap it and take it for a long car dive ,and then preferably sling it off a cliff . We had loads around our way the woman up the road had loads of cats and the rspca would do nothing about it .

Needless to say a lot of them went for a magical mystery tour of Hertfordshire and Essex .
 
Sucks to be that dog.

Instead of harming the cat trap it take it for a drive.

But i wish you luck with it, and where thick gloves.
