I would get a live trap and bait it with tuna. Set it up when you leave for work and you will likely have cat when you get home. Take the whole trap over to the lady and ask her how it happened that her cat was in your yard. Make an offhanded comment about calling animal control if you catch it again, then do that if you get it on day 2.

If she loves her cat, she will stop letting it free range to protect it, if she doesn't care that much, you get rid of a neighborhood nuisance. Pet cats left to range unattended eat a huge amount of wildlife, to the point that some people want to banish cats outdoors altogether. There are a lot of cats on the farm and they catch some unintended birds and such, but mostly mice, since that is what is easiest to catch in a barn.

I'm getting closer to buying a trap... I just don't have much storage here unfortunately.

Wow! Did you take that picture? Just take it easy. Sometimes you just can't get out of your own way and its best to stop fighting and just give in!
 
How do you all manage small flocks? Currently I have the 9 pulleys and 2 cockerel. So I'm looking for a home for at least one of the cockerel. He is a 2 month old gold laced Cochin. They are both GL Cochin actually handled daily. Anyway enough of me trying to find a home for them and back to my main question. I'm looking to make this sustainable and I know I want to avoid inbreeding. So with a small flock is it easiest to find other people niearby and swap rooster or is it easier to buy a new cockerel every few generations? I've read a bit about it I guess I'm wondering if there are people in western pa around beaver county that are interested in the future of swapping?
