Anyone loose a cat?

Share this page

Baz- maybe a solution for you.

We've had a recent problem of many homeless cats swarming
in our neighborhood. We have 3 indoor cats ourselves. The
wild cats pi$$ on our doors and stench up our garage "marking'
their territory.

We bought an airplane "cat carrier" from the local pet store.
Plastic box with a fine steel mesh swing door on the front.

I ran a 30 foot length of fishing line from the door, back
into my garage. I set a can of tunafish cat food inside.
When the stray went in to eat, I yanked the door shut while
Mrs ran over and latched it.

We took the entire box and cat over to animal control.
We got the box back.

I bet that would work for an opossum

edit: oh yeah, I put 20 pounds of weight on the box top
to keep it in place when I yanked the line.

"Port-a-Possum"!!!


I ~LIKE~ it! :laugh:
 
tinster, got me a rather large long hair dark gray cat with a big fluffy tail that never would use a litter box always goes out to do his business, sat. night i went out to call him in at 12:10 p.m., walked outside and there he was in the middle of our front lawn quartering away from me sniffing the ground after several calls of "lets go in nucklehead" he would not respond so i started walking closer to him only to find my cat standing at my feet, i looked more closely at the animal on the lawn, id been talking to a fox. :eeek:
 
Baz, my brother has problems with 'possums at his house. He periodically sets Hav-a-hart live traps out for them. When he catches one, he takes it to Ontario and sets it free.
 
Does he get gas subsidy money for International transport from the state of Maryland, John? :jester:
 
Yes, Doc. It's part of the 'Possum Population Reduction Program.
 
WOOHOO!!

Sign me up!

...now where'd I put that bloody trap?
 
Got the 12 gauge and 410 ready to go boys so bring 'em on. Dale, why don't you take them out on a 2 mile night cruise in the boat? :yesnod:

Thankfully, them fugly o-possums don't dwell here on the island.
Neither do those horrid armadillo creatures.
Neither do pesky squirrels or chipmonks

We have mongoose and they're pretty cool little guys.

Ah, yes, Possum on the half-shell! :laugh:
 
Reminds me of the time one of my brothers in law was having company and when his wife at the time opened the door to let their guests out their black and white cat ran into the house. Trouble was they didn't have a cat at the time and it took a while before the skunk went back out.
 
This has gotta be a joke. I can't imagine anyone, even in LA, being THAT stupid. (Or, maybe I can--if it were Sacramento.) Funniest thing I've seen all day, though.

possum, muskrat, squirrel ...

In 100 years or so, people will be asking "Are you serious? Back in 2008 people ate animals?"

Those critters have kept us alive for a *long* time. Here's one that's been munching on fermented pumpkins:

Poor li'l fella! I'd be after a trout net so's I could snare him and put him in a box to sleep it off out of harm's way instead of video recording the thing. geez. It had to have used up two thirds of the alloted heartbeats during that episode due to panic.

huh?!? izzat where i wuz?!?!


...wow...
 
Possums and vultures get an unfair bad rap. They clean up the stuff that nothing else will touch. The world would be a much nastier place without scavengers like possums. They come around our homes cause we draw them, whether we mean to or not. Your garbage can full of rotting food may seem nasty to you, but it's gourmet dinner to a possum.

Kinda seems unfair to fault them for doing what comes naturally.

And mistaking a possum for a cat? I can only hope this is a joke.
 
I once had a possum that decided the GarageMahal would be a nice place to spend the winter...so I humanely trapped him & hauled him 15 miles away to release him....he returned within a day or so.

He didn't return!
