Default The Trapping Hunt

So after seeing a black cat eat my catfood, attempt maul my kitten and attack my two larger cats I decided to do something about it. After sitting in my thinking chair for a few minutes I decided on one of my Raccoon traps properly placed and baited with cat food.

I placed my three cats on the porch and proceeded to set the traps with high hopes! After hearing my dogs bark for 5-10 minutes at 2:00am I put on my coat, grabbed my flashlight, tossed on my crocs, and proceeded to the trap.

The front door of the cage was closed and as excitement filled me with a successful trapping I walked to the side of the trap I heard a rustle beside me.

Yep that black demon cat was running away. So.... What's in the trap???



A very docile and friendly young possum. I carried the cage up to the house for a few quick photos on my iPod and then a quick trek to the front of my property where I see them crossing all the time to release him for another day!

The Hunt is not over.

you know, i bet that black cat talked that possum into checking out that cage then darted. give it time and the possums with join forces with whatever else you catch in that cage and they'll start by not letting the black cat eat at certain dumpsters or drink from certain watering holes, but eventually they'll lynch that black cat, or get a rope and drag it down the road. im goin to hell but i thought it was funny.

I would not have a problem at all with this.

That cat is a monster and if it doesn't go for the food in the next few days I am going to break out the .22LR. It is damaging my property and is threatening to me and my cats. When you stomp your feet and yell at it all it does is hiss and start walking towards you.

Airsoft does **** it off though and make it run away. 750-800fps dead accurate to 100yds Dragnov full metal full size airsoft sniper has been an effective deterrent. But it comes back the next day....

You know how fast a 30rd banana mag for a 10/22 can be emptied when you're POed? I know it took care of the last problem cat round here...

No rubber shot kills cats, I know this for a fact... If I wanted to kill em I would have used cheaper ammo !!!
