Does anyone have a cat/possum trap I could borrow?
I’ve got a visitor leaving deposits in the kids sandpit.

Have a read of the Animal Welfare Act.
Greens are pushing to make it illegal to shoot feral cats in Victoria, will only be allowed to trap and deliver to authorities.

We know a couple that had heaps of trouble with a neighbouring cat. They trapped it numerous times and delivered it to the council each time, where the owner had to keep collecting it. Eventually the cat stopped visiting so something changed, although it's very likely another neighbour simply shot it.

Have a mate pop the cage open when you say "PULL!"
Good old sporting chance
The animal liberation movement would have it illegal to shoot any animal if they'd have it their way.
I certainly hope they don't get any traction... I'd be surprised if they do.

If you read the latest newsletter from Straight Shooting,,,,,, they certainly have traction in NSW.
Apparently tabled or about to,,,,,, a bill that when taken to the letter,,, would present a 5 year gaol term for anyone (including farmers) for shooting
anything, including stock that need to be put down.

Crapped all over my yard, killed native wildlife etc. I set a possum trap and caught the critter, and took it back to her, trying to explain what the cat was doing. All I copped was an ear full of abuse. This problem continued for a few more weeks. Set the trap again, caught the critter.
Took the trap the local council vet agent, playing dumb but explaining what was going on with the cat killing etc. The vet scanned the the cat, picked up the info from the micro chip and held on to the cat until the owner was contacted. Apparently the owner was real sh&%ty that she had to pay to get her cat back.
Let this go for about another month, but the cat continued to roam, so for a third time the trap was set. Caught the bugger again, BUT this time I took it miles away to the RSPCA depot, and told them what was happening with this cat and this irresponsible owner.
To date I have heard nothing and not seen the cat.
