Thread: Disposing of feral cats

If this takes a real hold it could ironically fix the problem I guess, will also mean Mrs Brown needs top keep "Tiddles" indoors or risk her getting infected!

They deal with them inappropriately? Please, do tell...

i am hoping that is a typo!

I been having troubles sourcing appropriate gags. Canvas is way too pricy, and have heard hesian wont do. Maybe someone can confirm.
I can get woven plastic like what chook food comes and suitably sized for the trap. So thinking of doubling up.

On another side the kids will have plenty of bags for sac races in the meantime.

At least you wont have to load any Maxtraxx, if you get bogged just chuck the hessian bags (full of cats......
or sand) under the wheels and your away

That's terrible, but even I had a giggle at that

ah hem Murial....
hessian bags are what I took as my maxtraxx last time, but didn't need them.

Perhaps I could do a doco on the trials and tribulations of a cat catcher. Crossing the dead heart with a swag of hessian bags, some welding gloves, and a dozen kids.

Jason, hows the trip going .
Funny thing, we are camped in / near the Selwyn Ranges and a feral cat came into camp,

action station, what to do what to do , made a snare and fully expected I would not see cat again, an hour later problem solved.
