Feral Cats are detrimental on songbird populations. It has been estimated that the domestic cat (Feral and tame) kill 60 million songbirds a year.

Use this information to the best of your ability!!

If you have a cat, keep it inside, or it is fare game!
 
If you are serious about getting rid of them, find a friend with a coon hound. Coon hounds will pick up their scent and tree them. Some time a non hound will to. Using a dog is a no nonsense way of taking care of them.
 
we have a problem with feral cats in our neiborhood. i know a neigbor that shot one with a broadhead that wasnt even on his property. i would never do something like that. i ended up telling the owner of the cat later. he got off as animal control didnt have enough proof. i hate cats and would shoot one out in the wild in a minute. i wouldn't shoot one on the front lawn.

I've heard that a blowgun with the darts takes care of them pretty good in populated areas. I think they tend to run off though so you gotta hit em right. Also a friend had a cat lover living next door who fed every cat, skunk, rat, possum that decided to live in the storm drain in the neighborhood. The cat lover trapped cats in other places and brought them to her house to run free. After about 6 months of cleaning cat crap out of his flowers, having to keep his dogs in the house because of all the racket they made when cats walked on the fence at night and having dead birds dropped all over his porch he left a little milk and (well, something they use in cars) in the drain one night. No more kitties...
My way of thinking, if you love your cat, keep it in the house, if not, God love it because I sure as #@ll don't!
 
I had heard many years ago that a really good way to get rid of cats was with a can of tuna (or catfood) with 5-6 regular asprin crushed up in it. The cat will immediately cease to exist about halfway through the can of tuna. 1 can can take care of 2 cats I was told. Take that information for what its worth, because like I say, this is all heresay and I have no idea if it works or not.

It's my understanding that the asprin does not take effect right away, but rather when they lay down to take a nap. they just simply do not wake up.


Milk and antifreeze.... good one!!
 
go to the edge of aney local dump, just start calling and you will have plenty of oppertunitys for cats,
those of you that have do you think they are very hard to kill??
 
was out calling last night and one of these Pantry Puma's thought he was the toughest kid on the block... actually looked like he was attacking, not the normal stalk they put on... he was out and out running in on us... well the Hornet spoke and the attack terminated... he wasn't so tough after all... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I took my two nephews shooting /hunting back in the spring and spotted a big yellow cat with a bird in it's mouth still flopping.My younger nephew was sitting with my cz 17hmr when i pointed to the cat and said to shoot it >> 75-85 yards right through the heart.Man did that fat cat roll down the dump nicely !! Bird disappeared .
Feels powerful good to do something good for nature .Mike
 
I gave my dog to the ex a few months ago, cleaned up the yard, About three weeks ago my son wanted to play catch out back. We went out and you would have thought I owned a poodle, there is cat s**t all over my back yard /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif I dont own any animals either. I have also found piles in the front yard /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif Why is it people think there cats should free roam? I started to count there are 4 cats in the area that are feed by others and really owned by no one, Look at this one I caught pinchin' one off in my back yard

I now have my old 22 remington in the garage, with some CB's real close, This one has been marked for death! I am going to start to clean'em up, I shouldnt have to step in anything but grass in my own back yard!

Had I shot this one with a gun instead of the camera, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif I could have killed 6 cats with one bullet, as this one had 5 kittens in my neighbors shed last week /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
 
in wisconsin, they are actually thinking about opening a hunting season on stray/feral cats, with no bag limit. no joke.

i have always used haveaheart live traps and had great luck. i do not care if it is a neighborhood cat. leash law is leash law. when you catch cats with parts missing, bones showing, visable maggots in sores... you are doing the right thing, although, if you want to get rid of them, without the fear of breaking the law, just set up a line of live traps (if your problem is bad enough) with some wet, cheap cat food in them, and when they are full, call animal control. they know my house, and where to get the traps when i say they are full. they just re-bait them, and set them up again for me if i am not at home. saves them work. nothing catches a cat better than wet cat food, and two other traps with cats in them - the next traps will be filled soon - he'll be called in - naturally. effortless, fun hunting.
 
My only preference is that the %^&* thing makes it back "home" before it dies. And does that under owners back porch when average temp is in the 90's. Enjoy the smell or keep cat under control.
 
All of you guys should be ashamed of your selves! I can't believe my fellow hunters have stooped this low ... shame, shame on you all!

PS The blowgun is the way to go... Cold Steel has the best darts on the market! you should get a great pass through. Double lung shots to all... and to all a good night! Meow...
