Lurks for the lulz
I need help from the experts on how to trap feral cats. (tldr readers may skip to the *)
There is a feral male cat, let's call him GrayBalls, who prowls my parents' neighborhood and has sired two litters (1 with his sister - eeew).
Last spring I caught the two 6 week old kittens from this litter under a lawn fertilizer and the neighbors caught the mama/sister cat with a trap. All 3 were fixed, mama was set free back into the neighborhood and the kittens were raised into sweet indoor cats by neighbor's kids.
But GrayBalls remained free and easy with the squirting.
There is a new feral kitten around, about 6 months old or so. She sleeps in our yard and we thought she was a male at first. Then today I see her all lovey dovey with GrayBalls. There has been some cat yowling early in the morning, too.
I gave GrayBalls the, "you're a dirty kitty," finger-wag out the window and he froze in place, staring me down. :chuci
*I need to get a trap and get this guy fixed, same with the new adolescent girl cat who may now be pregnant.
I am on the fence on whether to allow the boy cat back into our neighborhood even after getting neutered because in the last year he has caused two open wounds to our very social male cat (fixed), who is now afraid to go outside.
Crazy cat BARFers please help guide me in the right direction!
