ok so last night I was sleeping and I woke up to a weird sound. It was hot and I had my windows open. I went out to my kitchen to investigate and there was a stray cat hanging off the screen hissing and growling at my cats. This cat has been around here for a while now and I have chased it off several times in the past. Usually when it sees me it runs like hell but not last night. It just hung off my screen clawing and destroying my screen. I went to the door to try and scare it off and that's when it got really bad.
You see I sleep naked so I was kind of hanging my upper body out the door while covering my junk, yelling at this cat. Then one of my cats got out. She ran across the deck to where she could see the stray. I yelled for her to come back inside and when she looked at me the stray charged her. There was freaking cat hair all over the place and my cat was defiantly losing the fight.
So there I stand, with no protection to any of my "sensitive areas" and with no idea how to break this up.
In a panic I opened the door and pushed my other cat out onto the deck. Thinking, maybe if there are 2 cats the stray will get intimidated and run off. (did not happen, *big mistake) I then ran to my room put on pants shoes and my jacket, Ran to the kitchen and grabbed a large knife. Then proceeded to run to where my cat was getting her a$$ kicked. As soon as I was within striking distance the stray bolted. I threw the knife at it (missed) and chased it down the street.
Now I have two cats that I need to take to the vet and I have to replace a screen. This is unacceptable.
My question is this. how do you trap a cat? Anyone here done it?
Once I have the MOFE in a cage, I promise to make it quick. I mean 7.62x54R or maybe 12g slug quick, whatever the cat is dead if I get ahold of it
I did call the pound today and they wont bring out a trap. They said next time its in my yard to call them and they would come look for it.
