This is the 7.5Kg of pissed offedness that had the neighbour's mates wolfhound backing up and hiding behind his dad - bloody embarrassing as the boss was trying to apologise and ask how my cat was at the same time I'm apologising for the blood streaming off his dog's face and the dog (all of 90Kg) is trying to climb into dad's arms! The bloody cat was rubbing around my feet meowing at me like it was feeding time. Thanks dick, super embarrassing... This cat is a weapon, he's stood off three shepherds at the same time without a care - the confused look on the dog's faces when they strike a cat that doesn't behave like a cat should is a crack up.

Feed it right - every time it comes in with a rodent it gets a top up and a growling every time it gets something we don't like and it's a quite motivated ratter. When it can be arsed to get off the bed that is! Does a good job of keeping the ferals out of our patch too. Would prefer to not have the guts full of 100mm long tapeworms getting vomited onto the carpet though.

Please tell me his name is Horse. Sounds awesome

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

No. Disclaimer - I was not responsible for this but his name is Bruce. Short for Bruce Wayne as the Lithuanian girl who named him thought he looked like batman as a kitten or some BS. It did sound better in Lithuanian but I'm buggered if I can remember how to pronounce it!

This feral cat topic has been covered in numerous threads but still some dont realise how big the problem is. When Ngai Tahu cleared 6700 hectares of Eyrewell forest pines down the road from me and converted it to dairy, there was a wave of cats pouring out of the forest land onto the farms. I shot 40 the first winter here and a friend nearer the forest shot sixty. Last dogs treed cat tally was 114. Dont let big dogs take on cats, they will loose an eye. Standard Foxys and Jacks sort them

If they are feral enough not even little dogs are safe. Seen a Jack get its face ripped up and nearly did lose an eye, and almost opened its gut up with the back wheels in burnout mode. Never saw that cat again, but it did not look very damaged at departure...

If I'd seen that it would have departed with whatever 12ga load was quickest to hand, up it's arse. How do people think it's acceptable to let these things loose?

@MarkN fetch me a wolverine too. i'll let it roam loose and see what these cat feeders think.

8 feral cats gone, $2000 fine plus.... How many native birds were saved because of this?

"Three of the cats were pregnant"
-Bonus score!!

...Yet the SPCA is strangely silent on the cruel death of any mammal poisoned by 1080.

Different levels of empathy I see

I also wonder how they determine drowning to be cruel.
I mean, if they didn't restrain and immoblise/tranquilise animals before giving the lethal injection...would that look a "kind" death?

Well that answers that question. Drowning= no. I guess gassing with carbon nonoxide is a no as well?

Drowning is illegal so it is out. Even humane shooting causes protest. Apparently some persons, having humanely euthanised the cat take it down the road in the dark and arrange its appearance on the road so that it looks to be a case of death by car

Really

Wonder what is an acceptable an humane spca approved method then?

Drug overdose I think (but I don't know for sure).
