Feral Cats, Shoot or Don't

[Texas_Bryan]

Just like feral dogs, dangerous and destructive, get rid of them.  Try and be humane about it, but in the end, they're just cats.

If they don't bother me, I have no reason to bother them.


If they DO bother me though.......

man  this is an easy one don't need to think about the answer on this one..


Shoot the buggers.


I have a grey one that sighed it's death warrant when it pissed on the stainless doors of my BBQ       just got to catch the prick  as I am not allowed to shoot it where i live    then it is going for a "swim" 

over here they have caused the extinction of some native species and also have contributed to the disappearance of many ground-dwelling birds and mammals around the place...

I know that you suffer under insane gun laws. BUT, if the buggers haven't gotten around to regulating airguns yet, may I suggest a Diana Werks RWS 34 in .22 caliber? 850 feet per second in .22. It will shoot through a 1/2" plywood board at 50 yards. Plenty enough gun for possums, cats and iguanas at thirty paces or less if you can place your shots right. Quiet, and with a descent scope (either go high dollar or disposable, as a spring piston airgun will eat scopes. I have an airgun designed Weaver at about $40 and its worked fine for years). Its a sweet rifle at a low price, and findable for about $150 USD used. Its a bargain. I have used it to bag legal game, like squirells and rabbitts, and rumor has it, other critters for twenty years . Can't say enough good about it. Buy the rifle and a can of "packed in oil" tuna, and its game over for Toonces the driving cat. Airguns don't get enough play on this board, but a good spring piston airgun will kill a varmint just as dead as a .22 LR inside of 30-50 yards, pus they don't  make much noise to keep you out of trouble with the neighbors.

yep  they have 


have thought of the belly ache tuna   

the "alleged" plan  is to get a trap     catch the little bugger  then it is going for a swim in a wheely bin full of water   or it is going to have it's neck opened up  with a knife

I shudder to ask, but what sort of restrictions have they placed on airguns? I mean honestly, its not like you're going to hold up a liqour store with a single shot air rifle. I've said it before and I'll say it again, because it bears repeating. A government that fears an armed populaton should be feared by an unarmed population. Its just that simple and no politics involved. Left right or center, it's all the same. Give me a gun and I'm a citizen, deprive me of one and I'm a subject.

just like a .22   can get charged with discharging a firearm in a residential area if caught  even with an air rifle

I never heard it called belly ache tuna...magic meatballs maybe.  These things are terribly destructive.  The wild turkey populations on the edge of suburban areas are decimated by them...and fox.

Fatman has your answer, but I suspect there are regs on those too.  A nice heavy round rock or a big chunk of lead about 3/4" around (cut back fishing sinker) in one has some real knockdown power. 

With a good center of mass hit and they don't run, they don't holler, they just lay there for pickup and distribution.  Now, I don't know if they are good to eat, but I've a friend who says mountain lion are delicious...the other white meat.  If I wasn't dearthly allergic to them.....naw, Haz...I wouldn't really.
