Just wondering if anyone has trapped a cat.
there is this dirty stray that keeps coming over and nesting on my cats in their yard and I want it gone.
 
Could call by law?

Aside from that, "dealing" with it might be your option. That or literally Food with box held up by a string then make sure you've got some welding gloves when you reach in

Did you know, if you grab an attacking cat by the back of the neck with one hand and the base of the tail with the other, they instantly stop trying to scratch.

I had a neighbourhood cat in my yard once beating on my cats years ago, I caught it in the corner, went to grab it and it bit me. I was pissed, not wearing a shirt. So I held it down with my foot and picked it up like that. Arms stretched out in front of me. God if anyone was looking they must have been think wtf.

walked it across the street and tossed it while I yelled at it, because I was pissed

anyhow, never saw it in my yard again.

oh I forgot to mention I was on almost 3 grams of gear then, 700 mg of it being Tren. No way that cat was going to out alpha me, lol. I do believe I even growled at it as I told it I was going to kill it if it came back.

Im only on trt now, so chasing down and beating on cats is not in my wheelhouse anymore, lol

Literally...............pussy 😂
 
A live trap would work in one night. Throw a can of tuna in there. Maybe you can borrow on from one of your customers.. we use to build them as kids to catch raccoons and let them out everyday and catch the same one night after night..lol

If I catch the wrong one, I’ll just let it go. It’s just the one cat.
 
You have an air gun Sorbate?
Yes I do. Actually a 22 caliber 1200 FPS air Rifle. So more or less a 22 caliber rifle. It’s would kill it. My wife won’t let me.
I was thinking of buying a airsoft gun and shooting it. Wouldn’t kill it, but hurt like hell.
Or setting up an automatic sprinkler system, so it gets sprayed everytime is comes in the yard to convince it to stay away.

Don't ever tell her I said this or you'll never hear the end of it, but your wife is right on this one. LOL
Anything over 495FPS is classed as a firearm, and discharging a firearm within 200m of a dwelling is illegal and can result in jail time if caught. And shooting at an animal without the intent to kill (ie: airsoft) would be considered cruelty to animals and could also result in jail time. Now I'm not current on NWCO licenses for Ontario, but if I recall you need your NWCO license to trap even on your own property unless you live on a farm and the animal is considered nuisance wildlife which a cat wouldn't be.

All that to say I believe @Jestopherson has the best answer here. Call your local bylaw enforcement officer. Most municipalities have contracts in place to remove stray cats and dogs where a third party contractor will come out and do it for you and send the bill back to the city. OR, if you do want to DIY, just don't get caught ;)

I was figuring throwing the trap in the back yard. No one would see it.
im afraid this cat will hurt mine badly.
like I said in the past, I was able to get the jump on other cats that came in my yard to fight, and after you scare them, they stay away.
The other one, I had grabbed by the tip of its tail as it was preparing to launch off the fence. I was holding on for dear life, telling it if it ever came back things would be worse. Well it lost the fur on the end of its tail, but I never saw it again.
I was faster in my early 40s. Lol. Plus this one is smarter.

I may set up the sprinkler first. It worked on the birds that liked to drop it’s poop on my pool cover. Plus if I set it up in the front yard, I should video it spraying the mail man as he walks across my lawn, lol. I’d put up a warning sign. ;)
 
You need a raccoon trap, and put those Whiskers cat treats in it. We had a trap when I was a kid for raccoons and pack rats so we could relocate them, and me and my bro would catch our cats in it for fun all the time. Works great!

Yeah.
im going to try to get a picture first and see if the owners want to keep it inside first. If not they will pay to retrieve it from the shelter.
 
Had Racoons in the attic, had one of my 1 way door traps on the path to where they climb my fence to get get to the tree, to get on my roof. I caught the neighbors cat, I wasn't happy, neighbors were even less happy, and the asshole racoons were likely laughing. Good luck with the asshole cat.
 
I didn’t want to be the guy that said this. In todays day and age, you can be neutered for it.
In this day and age, I agree. But you can't ignore the fact that it's an actual factual foot item on the menu there. If I've offended anyone whatsoever I apologize
