ohh what you can do is get a female cat in heat.. keep her in a cage outside

and set a cat trap next to the cage where the female is .. males will come and will

go into the cat trap thinking they will get closer to her and then snap! lol

and you can neuter the males

@busafwine Good idea but have you ever heard a female in heat? LOUD. Don't think the neighbors would like that too much. Ha!

ok, I get u r trying to be humane, but these are not adoptable, domestic cats; they are wild, invasive pests.  Simple solutions that have worked for my community:

-Trap and Kill (drown, gassed, or euthanasia at SPCA)

-Shoot them

-Adopt out young kittens and sociable younger ferals

-Poison remaining ferals (a fast-acting agent mixed in tuna so they don't suffer)

@jerrynog Sorry, but you are wrong. The kittens ARE adoptable IF you catch them early enough. It's a proven fact, the kittens can be adoptable, well adjusted pets. I've seen the process in action. If people were RESPONSIBLE pet owners in the first place by spaying or neutering their pets, we wouldn't have this problem. That's the point of the video. I love the bird population too. I love all the creatures of the earth and I am not here to judge who should live or who should die.

@daligoddess2006 ok, did you even read my post? I said "adopt out young kittens and sociable younger ferals." We did that and got rid of all the hopeless feral adults--the community hasn't had more than 3 or 4 strays/ferals in the two years since. The only side effects have been more birds and more squirrels

[daligoddess2006]

@jerrynog SORRY. I must have inadvertently replied to wrong comment. Although, your comment about adoption is difficult to read, hidden from my eyes by all the Killing, Gassing and Poisoning.

Very informative, thank you! You have a good heart.

@daligoddess2006: You are so wonderful to take care of our world's ferals! I literally stumbled upon TnR in 2007 while walking my dog (I came across a feral cat den with two surviving kittens hiding beneath a board). I have been a devoted TnR rescuer ever since. I have even had three successful kitten rescues that resulted in loving adoptions!! This is hard work, it never ends, and there is a need for feral care in every community. Thank you for bringing this issue to the masses on YouTube!

@daligoddess2006 well, that's the honest truth about what our community did, and it has worked very well. It continues to work with tri-annual cullings of new ferals and/or adoption of any kittens that are caught.
