I just seen this thread, awww what a hellish problem!

I totally totally am a cat person but in light of the situation a few things sprang to my mind.
Firstly trapping is hard with a feral tom they are seriously clever, if it hasent fallen for the trap now it won't in the future, only way is to shoot it  Sad . If he manages to be trapped in the cage most vets would asses the animal and to be honist they will put him down rather than neuter him, they wont allow him re released. Or another option if you trap him is to drive him well away from your area and VERY carefully release him  Very Happy

we live in a very rural area, I successfully trapped this ones dad about 2 years ago but obviously not before he had fathered the current one and had him neutered. The vets round here are very good.

When we had the last one neutered we had a long debate on whether to release him back into the locality, But decided we would as another tom  would come and replace him if we removed him!! I still see him occasionally.

If we ever trap this guy and I am not giving up, we will get him neutered and release him elsewhere, but don't tell anyone please??
