I have trapped cats before and always released them because invariably they belonged to neighbors. Unfortunately the neighbors are in violation of our condo regulations which prohibit them from letting their animals roam free.
One lady's cat I caught 3 times wandering around my place. The last time I called her up and asked her if she was missing a cat and she actually had to check to see if she was. I told her where I lived and to come pick it up which she did and I haven't seen it since. She obviously got the message.
I can't tell you the numbers of opossum and squirrels I've caught in my trap. In fact, one week alone I caught 5 squirrels. After the 5th one I spotted a critter control guy at a neighbor's house settin traps on her roof. Heck, that guy was getting paid for it and I was doing it for free......LOL!
Why didn’t you take it to a shelter so that 1) it could be humanely euthanized, and 2) it wouldn’t breed in the wild and add to the feral cat population? You are a heck of lot more irresponsible than your neighbors who let their pet cats (presumably spayed/neutered and with rabies shots) roam freely around the neighborhood.
You are a cruel cold hearted person to do that...would you do it to a kid?? Same thing...that cat is scared out of it's mind looking for it's home....and it's against the law...I hope someone catches you....wish it were me.
~ quartered and cleaned squirrels, 1 per person
~ buttermilk
~ OldBay seasoning
~ flour
~ salt & pepper
~ shortening
Soak your meat for at least an hour in buttermilk.
Combine the flour & OldBay until you can see the flour turn light pink. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper to taste.
Heat up your shortening to 375 degrees in a iron skillet or deep fryer deep enough to cover the meat.
Roll or shake your meat in the flour mix and fry until the coating is golden brown.
Take it out and place it on a rack to drain. Place it in your oven for about 1/2 hour at 275 degrees.
Serve and Enjoy!
