Had to shoot a cat this morning. I hated it, but I didn't see an alternative.

Out here in the country we get stray cats all the time. We appreciate them because they keep the area clear of mice and rats. They eventually become friendly and we take them in and get then spayed/neutered and immunized. Right now there are 6.
But this guy has never become friendly and started attacking the other cats. We were afraid he might have rabies or some other disease that he would give to our cats.
The attacks had become more frequent and after the second one this morning I had had enough. 16 ga. bird shot from 15 feet makes quite a mess of a cat. At least he went quickly.
