Looks like you had some good hunts!! The cat is darn near as big as the fox. LOL

Good stuff Chrisso. I bought my 204 specifically for cats. Foxes too, but I hate feral cats with a passion. Unfortunately I haven't bagged a kitty yet. Lots of red dogs, but still itching to get a cat. No doubt that itch only gets worse once you knock down a big ginger?
Congrats mate

ive shot a cat with a collar before. was a bit old and rough(the collar) but any cat straying onto a farm killing animals is a feral cat. and the farmer wants them shot!

I believe there's a curfew on cats. After sundown - fair game?
I'd hate to take someone's best mate from them. They are great companions, but irresponsible owners need to understand how much damage one cat can do.

"there should be a bounty on feral cats ..."

Amen, brudda sure would solve a lot of problems... and be a load of fun!!!

In several states here in the US, kitty lovers have pushed legislation that makes it illegal to whack 'em. They could give a flip if fluffy is decimating our quail, grouse and songbirds, 'cuz he's cuddly and has big brown eyes. Those are the states where the American Eagle has reduced to Big Bird. :wall:
