,..a few weeks ago,...took over the back yard.
It kept attacking my cats,..had to take one of them to the vet.
Anyway,..I caught it in a box trap and hauled it to the "cat" pound. (humane society)
It's about 4 miles from here.
That was about 10 days ago.
That cat is out in my back yard right now.
I can't figure it out. Bristoe, This one is real quiet...  Most sound is bolt closing and bullet whacking meat...  Shot at 50' indoor range in the attic of my garage.

20 years ago I would have splashed it with a 12 gauge without giving it a second thought.
I guess I've become an old softy to an extent,...but one way or another, the cat has got to go.

I'm going to make an honest attempt to find out who owns it,...
I'd consider that a mistake as it could nullify future actions. Operation Black [cat] Ops might be compromised.  I like the BB gun idea. A stout load of #6s ought to do! I'd try to convert a dog, but a cat is just pure bad. Bob

Bristoe, I had the same problem a couple years ago. I live at the end of the dead end road and have a barn so every college girls who can't take their pet home seems to think our place is heaven for their unwanted puzzy. Wait a minute - that didn't sound quite right.  Anyway - a couple years ago there was a real nice tom cat that showed up one day. He was friendly enough but we have 2 cats already so I gave him a ride back to town and let him go in yuppyville about 6.5 miles (as the crow flies) from home. I figured SOMEBODY was gunna get a real nice pet out of the deal. I swear to God that cat was back on my porch 2 days later. The wife insisted someone must have seen me dump it and brought it back, so I took it the opposite direction the next day. It was back by the end of the week.... What I'm saying is - good luck. 
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Back in the day, when I was a kid, we took care of stray dogs running in packs, attacking our calves. Feral cats met the same fate. Today, one is likely to be arrested and then sued for no more than what we were doing 50 yrs. ago. I'd vote for the "final solution", but Bristoe must be careful. It's dangerous out there... DF

I once had a cat problem. When leaving for work one morning, I opened the front door to spy the suspect humped up at about 10 yards. I grabbed the old Benjamin and gave her a pump. I usually keep a pump in it just to keep it sealed but I figured I'd better give it an extra just so the pellet would exit the bbl. I aimed to scare the thing off, but APPARENTLY, cat's never do what you'd expect them to do.
I aimed for her butt and squeezed one off. The damn thing hauled off dragging hind legs! I stashed the Benjamin and proceeded to work, where I confessed my dismay to a co-worker. His reply?
Him "You're fuct! You're totally fuct! You're neighbors are gonna find the pellet and CSI is gonna know it came from YOUR gun! Oh man! Oh man! It was nice knowin ya. Was that your first cat?"
Me "Yeah."
Him "It gets easier!!!"
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Put your cats up. Locked up.
Put out anti-freeze.
Mean cat dies a slow death. Nasty, too.
Problem solved, but I'd rather it was quick.
Got to be careful these days. You could get prosecuted for killing a pet cat.

And, your homeowner insurance carrier's nightmare can quickly become your nightmare. Just be careful...! Or better yet, don't get caught... DF

That's the only thing I can figure,...but it stays in my back yard about half the time.
I'm going to make an honest attempt to find out who owns it,..and if they don't fix the situation, they're going to have a much more difficult time retrieving it next time. So when it disappears (as all free range cats ultimately do) they will know who they think made it happen. 22 long cb.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

I'd not be worrying about what they thought, just what they could prove. Be smart, don't get caught...! IMHO. DF

I just don't have the heart to shoot a cat ... ...  I'd just put the cat in a box and shoot the box a few times.

Catch it again and then go at it with the garden hose while it is in the box trap. Repeatedly every few hours for a day or so. I bet it doesn't come back.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.
