How to catch a feral cat?

[Hidrainja4]

Sorry slow to think these days, another trick in general- take cloth rags tie string or twine to one end, soak them in pure ammonia so they are dripping wet. Tie or hang them around the outside of the coop. This trick I used because a skunk was travelling under my deck through my backyard at night and I have two dogs. The ammonia rags worked all summer on the skunk he traveled a different way. after that.

Update: I just wanted to say thank you to those who responded after reading my entire post; greatly appreciate it. I spread clementine peels around the entire run and coop and tonight I didn’t hear a single meow ^^

On another note, to all the boomers who suggested I shoot the cat... I don’t own a gun. I don’t want to own a gun. I don’t want to kill the cat let alone shoot the thing. Regardless, I live in a suburban area where it is illegal for residents to kill stray/feral cats.

If your first mentality is to kill the thing that’s just trying to survive, please [redact] yourselves from this discussion. We’re humans. We are /the/ apex predator and some of us actually have something called logical reasoning. You think that the cat asked to be born? Do you think it knew that when it tried to get dinner, their human mother would Naruto run outside in the rain with nothing but a flashlight and a pair of scissors!?huh?! Do you?! Exactly. If you couldn’t see through my sarcasm, I was looking for the more humane alternatives other than killing the thing but clearly some of you just jumped to ammunition sizes.

Btw if y’all couldn’t read: I asked how to catch the thing not what bullet I should use luckily I found a temporary alternative that does not involve killing the thing. I’m shocked at some of your responses...

I'm sorry for some of the responses you have received. A live trap with a fishy smelling canned cat food may work in catching. Blessed are the children & the beasts for they have no voice, they have no choice.
