    Cat haters ... just move along ... there's nothing to see here!

    We've been feeding a stray cat for months and he's become pretty much approachable now. We've been through this routine a bazillion times. We feed them, get them comfortable with coming regularly at feeding time, then we set a trap, catch 'em, and take them down to the SPCA to get spayed/neutered and have their shots.

    Well, we've been feeding one for a while now and he's become pretty friendly. We can pet him as he eats and have even picked him up a few times (not held, just lifted him up and put him back down). He's developing into a pretty decent cat and has never shown any aggressiveness at all toward the couple of cats we let out during the day. Soooo, the time has come to have him checked out and "fixed" before bringing him back "home".

    I set the trap Saturday night. Released the neighbor's cat Sunday morning. (Didn't take a pic)

    I set the trap Sunday night. Released a Bluejay Monday morning.

    Reset the trap last night and had this guy this morning.

    You got a license to trap those animals, mister? What kind of reward does Operation Game Thief pay in Florida these days?

    It'd be just my luck to get busted for trapping without a license.

    At least I'm into catch & release. Gonna take the 'possum down the street to a wooded area to release him.

    This is just wrong on SO many levels.
    First off you never catch the same cat twice. If you do YOU are not doing it right. Second take the possum down the road and release him and he will beat you back to the house.
    Rule number two. NEVER catch the same possum twice.

    I think I would have released that nasty-assed possum down by the neighborhood lake after having submerged the cage for about five minutes.

    Besides, Lynn would KILL me if she found out. (I HATE 'possums! They remind me of giant rats ... and I HATE rats!)

    We've decided to stick the cage back in the garage and simply pick him up and try to get him into a carrier.

    Slickest transport product I've ever seen for a cat. Ideal for taking them anywhere and especially to and from the vet.

    I'm with Cappy. When that cat gets hold of Jim, it's gonna put those Angry Grandpa videos to shame. Pure YouTube gold, I tell ya!
