when we bought this house some years back, the neighborhood was overrun with feral cats. Over the course of a few months, I shot every damn one of 'em. I hate ditch cougars.

Felony for killing a feral cat?
where you at and what's the statute?

My nephew had cat problems, so he opened a can of Lil Friskies and set it out by his bow target block. Would pin 'em in place till they stopped floppin and then to the creek they'd go.

I used to thin them. Felony now in my state. It ought to be a crime for people to let them roam around. People are funny. They'd crucify a person who let their dogs roam freely, but feel that allowing their cat to do the same is just fine. They even have the audacity to bitsh and moan when their sweet little Boots or Mittens gets run over by a car.

I like that approach. Killed a lot of them when I lived out in the country. No really safe angles to risk a shot now, along with the possibility of prying eyes. Had a real sickly looking cat show up last week. After weighing my options, I trapped him on Saturday. Called the county shelter, and was told it was the responsibility of the town's animal control officer. Called him and was told he works Monday to Friday. I let it sit in the Havahart all weekend (did give it food and water). Animal control took it this morning.

Pretty sure It's a felony to shoot a stray/roaming dog in NY unless it's in the act of chasing deer in the Northern zone. Don't know if that applies to cats.

Fair game on my little farm. There were some quail there in the beginning (2005) then they all but disappeared. I've relocated about fifteen cats using .22, muzzle loader, shotgun, 357, bow, both recurve and cross. Relocated to kitty happy hunting grounds. Saw a small covey when I was out shroomin the other day. Filthy little feline murderers.
