Have one that just started hanging around, chasing bunnies etc. Don't care for such antics at all. Grey tabby with white feet. Though I shoot frequently on the property it is discreet and properly focused in context of safety. Not saying I won’t pull out a scattergun if need be but it’s a last resort.

So a few minutes ago I introduced the tabby to a pack of Black Cats. Laffed ‘til I had a wet eyes. Little bit of motivation and the little bastid turned into a 4 alarm acrobat. Damn near tied itself into a knot. 😂🤣😎

Tabby cat meets Black cats 😂.

If you timed it right a 22 could have been disguised as black cats, just saying 🤔

We used to shoot any feral cat we saw. Cats kill 1.7 billion song birds each year.

One of my buddies use to have a mink raising operation. A few times a year we would do feral cat control. The shooters would position on one end of the shed, another guy would walk through. When the cats would come piling out we would blast them with unplugged shotguns. Good times.

I used to hunt fox on a piece of property and the first time I asked permission to hunt there, the owner said, "You can hunt under one condition: you shoot every damn cat you see. People keep dropping them off and I'm overrun with 'em." Needless to say, I grinned and agreed. Did just that, too. Bagged and disposed of them as well. The landowner was VERY happy.

ps: A Hornet with 35-gr VMaxes makes an "inside out" cat.

pps: the backwards Mexican phrase for Taco is O-Cat! Learned that on the streets of Nuevo Laredo, long away and far ago.

Good times.

I don't mind a few barn cats around for keeping the mice under control, but if I suspect they're doing anything more than that they get dealt with. Blackcats do sound like an entertaining, if not ironic, starting method of control. I may have to try that.

Lived in Key Largo for 7 years and dispatched 27 cats with CB’s. One shot, one flop every time. Then I grew up and started killing hogs with them and realized how well they penetrate. A cat won’t stop one and I won’t be plinking fluffy here in the neighborhood with those little demons. Random ricochets aren’t your buddy in this setting. OTOH, I know what #6 birdshot will do and the lot is a bit more than 1,000’ x 300’. I don’t mind the neighbors hearing the boom, just don’t want to shoot them. Yet.

Actually their population numbers are way down. Cats are one reason. Other reasons are the destruction of forests in the tropics (where they overwinter) and carving up the US more and more into smaller woodlots, which lets raccoons rob their nests easier. Night time lighting in cities has increased manyfold in the last 50 years, as has human population, and they get confused and fly into buildings when migrating at night.

We have 4 barn cats. Haven’t seen them kill a bird, seen no feather piles in several years.

Matter of fact we have cardinals and finches that eat the fire out of their dry cat food in my woodpile shed. Started feeding them in the evenings. We got songbirds out the ass, people I have on speaker phone while I’m outside mention the background ‘noise’.

Could just be our farm cats are just lazy.

A few dead birds is a small price to pay to give the mice hell.
