Anyone got a gun this beeping Feral cat needs to be shot.

Tango refused to come in last night and when I came down this morning he was asleep on the kitchen chair, he never sleeps here unless he is injured and yes he is injured, looks like he has some eye lid damage, shoulder damage. For goodness sake he is 12 years old!!!!!

I am at the end of my tether with this feral cat, I haven't seen him myself for ages but I know he's around cos of the way tango acts and the smell!

Aargh!

Now I don't necessarily agree with this but I *think* I read somewhere that cats are classed as vermin (which is why you don't have to report it if you hit one with a car, like you do with dogs), and if that is the case, you could try ringing the council and ask the environmental health department to catch it.

Poor old Tango  Sad  - hope he's not too badly hurt.

I have moved it  Confused  I think he's a cunning blighter!

Theres a lady in the village who catches and tames the feral kittens then finds them new homes, which is all well and good, surely she would be better to trap the queens and get them neutered Rolling Eyes  I may have to go visit her.
What I'm not sure about is does she do it for money?? In which case I may have a problem but one I would hand over to the Cats Protection or RSPCA

quite often the local vet does it free, certainly they do farm cats round here like that....
