cat trap

[Guest andy p]

hello, if a cat got into a live catch trap would it make a right racket or just keep quiet, does anyone know.

they make a noise all right if your in a council property you have to get them out and realese them quickly i normally give them the hose pipe treatment to deter them from coming back if they persist then other more permanent tatics have to be implemented a strong pair of welders gloves should be used if your handling them

[Guest SJM]

Release them?

[Guest andy p]

so catching them on a night time is a big no no then as it will wake all the heighbours up, and they will all hate me for catching there pets,

You could put some poison in the bait used in the trap, the cat wont make a noise then

[Guest andy p]

true, but i wanted to catch em live, it would be more fun,

That could turn out to be an expensive way to rid yourself of a cat if you get caught using poison as it is highly illegal, not to mention non-selective.

 

I have caught quite a few moggies in cages over the years and some come quietly and others sing out (especially Siamese and Burmese). Just check the trap regularly and it shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you push them out into a sack and tie the neck they will lie quietly enough until you deal with them in your chosen way

Just for the record, deliberately catching, harming or killing a domestic cat is probably illegal, but is certainly anti-social and not something this site would encourage.

 

However feral cats are much like any animal pest and do need to be controlled. Cage traps are a good tool as they do allow you to be selective in how you deal with what is caught.

 

Just thought I'd make that clear for any new members or guests reading this thread.

Sorry John - forgot to mention that bit.

point taken, no offence was intended,

It's OK there's nothing wrong with the discussion that's been posted. I just wanted to provide a bit of context for the thread.

" Poison ", FFS! Just what the Anti's come here for. There is no 'Poison' legally permissable in the UK for use against cats, domestic, feral or otherwise. WTF is this place? A forum for " Hunters " or a bloody remedial schools playground?

 

Last word in dealing with 'Cats': Remember; Always take a legally (as in caught on written permissioned land) cage trapped cat straight to the rspca. Leave it in their care and ye'll not be bothered by it again

[Guest Scuba1]

Well thats what these feline training devices are for and they do not call them CATapults for nothing. If that does not get them out of my garden, the 6,5X 68 does the trick and then they are very quiet as a rule.

 

Note: I do not live in the UK and it is not against the law where I am, as long as one uses a minimum calibre of .22

Good answer DS.

 

Always maintain the upper hand by staying within the law.

 

You can't be faulted that way.
