IMHO, the funniest thing is driving around with them in the back of your truck meowing like crazy. I had a plastic bedliner when I did that, and they would slide everywhere when I made turns and shite

Did this last year. My neighbor would not do anything about her cat tearing up my flowerbeds and using it as a liter box. Called animal control. They dropped off a trap. Put it out the next night with some food. The next morning the cat was trapped. Called animal control. They came pick it up. Neighbor got a call from them because it had a collar. She then called me and said I owed her $50 because that's what animal control charges you to get your pet from them. I told her she should of listened to me and to frick off. Within a week she gave her cats to a relative and the week after put her house up for sale. She still hasn't sold it but I'm throwing a party when she does. Lol

My grandpa was a hard arse that lived in a small unincorporated village. He hated cats. When he would trap them, he would usually give them to one of his brother's/sister's farms as barn cats. When he was too lazy to mess with that, he would run turpentine on their butts. They would scream bloody murder and scoot across the grass like they were on fire.

They would never come back.

Best way to handle strays? Feed them. Then they're yours.

Sec. 18-14(d)) - There is no leash law applying to cats.  In order for your cat to be legally allowed outside, the animal must remain on the owner's property, be spayed or neutered, properly licensed, vaccinated and tagged with the owners name, current address and phone number.  Any cat that is found "running at large" can be impounded and the owner or keeper ticketed.

Started trapping cats when I moved into my first apartment. Fast fowrard 10 years later and living in second house now and own 4 traps but don't set them anymore because no cats around. But if there were I would surely be doing it.

I've always wondered why they still require a tag. Microchips are prevalent now, so the chip can contain the license information.

The other tricky thing about cats is that unlike dogs, sometimes there'a a gray area for whether someone is the owner. If you befriend a stray and start feeding it, it'll make less trouble in the neighborhood and that's a good thing. It'll also start coming inside during bad weather, you might make sure it's spayed and vaccinated, but at what point is it officially youre?

So I don't have to cut the cat open to read the phone number on the microchip. After that, calling the owner to return a pissed off bloody cat just seems mean and cruel.

Um, you do realize microchips can be read with a scanner?

Crazy cat lady has a lot more $ and time than I do. If she catches me with her cats in a trap it's a hassle I don't want to deal with.

Now in my old house I caught all kinds of shite - cats, possums, raccoons. All got taken care of when in the trap.

Only problem is legally you have to call animal control to come pick up each cat in each trap. I said screw that and made them disappear.

This is the crux of the problem. Too many country people with country ways have infested our urban areas.

Yep. I don't have a scanner, though.

I got a knife.

Trap might belong to Animal Control.

Keep your fricking cat in your own yard.

My dad traps squirrels with that kind of trap and takes them out of town into some woods. He caught two together in it one morning. He said they where making terrible noises and nearly killed each other before he got them out there. Another time he had one jump in his truck when he opened the cage to let him go.

They are mine once they step on my property which gives me authority to trap and relocate them

Tuna fish out the can. Frick a stray cat, and frick a stray cat feeder even more.



ETA: Crazy cat lady stealing your traps or threatening? Chain it to something. Relocated 16 from my first house in four years.
Free Tip: Bring them across a water body (Bayou Lafourche) and they'll never cross back!

More cat owners not giving a damn what their cat does, trap it and take it to a high kill shelter if you don't know or want to do it another way.
