Feral cats ?

    We have a lot of feral cats around the neighborhood. I have heard rumors that one neighbor has a female cat they let run wild and when it get pregnant they try giving away the kittens but what people don’t take they let become feral. I usually don’t have an issue with a couple cats running around but they started getting into my boat that’s covered outside in the driveway and while haven’t done any damage yet I now use a live trap to cull the population.

    They do not belong in the timber, or wild lands.

    That and using the carpet as a scratching post is my concern

    I will never concern myself whether whacking Feral Fritz is in or out of bounds. I’d spend more time verifying if you can shoot on your property.

    This has nothing to do with my property.

    Have you tried contacting the DNR or a CO to get their interpretation of the law? I would guess they will be the ones enforcing the law should it come to that

    This guy showed up a week ago Monday morning. He was in the dump trailer as the cover was being pulled over. My Daughter pulled him out and put him in the shed. He was a day or to from pushin up daisies.
    Looks like a Maine Coon. Weighs about a pound and a half but he’s eating and sleeping well.
    Thinking about calling him Biscuits. I’m also picking up another rescue Chihuahua and calling it….. wait for it …..Gravy.

    My ex bred mane coons and they brought in some real cash money. But they were the biggest pain in the asses lol. Great cats but definitely big ol needy son of a guns

    Lucky cat. Glad he was saved. He sure looks happy. Not sure he’s a Maine Coon though. At least not like most I’ve seen.

    LOL!
    The cat has a huge head, long legs and big mitts, tufted ears and I believe will be bigger than Gravy.

    Not sure if it is a Coon. Going to take him to the Vet soon. Maybe they can confirm.

    Main Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats both have tufts on the ends of their ears. I can’t see that pic very well. But, he looks pretty dark for a regular tabby. I can’t tell if it’s a long or short hair. The stipes on the legs are interesting.

    Looks like a regular/tabby(?) cat to me. But then again I’m not really a huge cat guy nor an expert… He’s a beauty though for sure.

    Any updates, EPG?

    He hit the jackpot!
    He’s been putting on weight and he seems to be very healthy. Next Tuesday he goes into have his manhood cut away.
    He gets along well with the two dogs however he wants to get a piece of a The other cat, if you know what I mean
