I always thought a tomcat was an adult male cat. Of course they are more aggressive, they're male!

I always referred to male cats as tom cats and yeah tomcats are much bigger, at least he is anyway, he's massive.

In some species (like dogs) the female is more aggressive, even on their good days they're bitchy as hell.

:P
Tell me about it. My dog is very territorial when she sees cat she will bark and give chase, she is a bitch but this is her space and she is protecting it. She also barks at crows and birds in general

(I did mention I was female didn't I?)

Female cats can be aggressive as well, take their cousins in the wild for instance, the female lion does all the hunting for the pride as well as raising the young.

The males live lives of leisure.

dont let your sh!tty "paris hilton dog-in-a-bag" rat outside if there are bigger animals attacking it.

if you spray bleach at a cat you should be locked up. sicko

Tomcats go around fighting, humping and pissing.

If a tomcat ever pisses in your car, tractor or house, burn it as the smell is vile.

Maybe its a good idea to tell the OP that his balls are like tennis balls and he wont take no for an answer! The cat will be the least of his troubles.

called the local spca alright they just told me unless it was feral there was little they could do, if someone owns it I would have to get their permission to neuter it but he did give me number of local vet who might have a better idea. If I can trap it and neuter it I will.

I haven't sprayed bleach at a cat, a cat has attacked my dog. My dog, who is in her home and her garden, where she is free to roam safely. I'm not paris hilton and I don't carry my dog around in a bag. I'm also not a sicko. Shouldn't you be in school sitting your junior cert?

ah the spca's - shower of government fund draining PR whores. you can rest assured if you called and said there was an oil leak on the canal and rte were all over it, they'd be down in a flash lookin to get their mugs on tv. worked for dspca before - wat a shower. you're good to get him neutered. we did that with a feral a while ago, carey and keane in kilmainham offer reduced price for ferals, and will tag the ear also

once he's de-balled he should be no match for your dog

I'm sure the owners of the cat will be thrilled to have their pet captured and castrated.

If the owners were responsible they might have done this much themselves before allowing their cat to roam and might save a lot of hassle in the future anyway.

he doesnt know if the cat even has an owner, also unless he's some kind of prize winning pansy pedigree, I dont see the issue. Hundreds of thousands of unwanted cats born every year. Also think about the poor female cats. We got a feral female neutered as there were about 7 toms hanging around the balcony all waiting to basically gang rape her. Poor thing

coudnt agree more,most cat charities will do this or will loan the cage to trap.

borrow the pressure triggered cage off the charity or someone on a cat rescue forum> put something strong smelling that cats love the taste of at the back of the cage-a strong smelling kibble woud be better because at this time of year the place is full of flies and the wet cat food gets covered in eggs if left outside> put the cage in a quiet area where the cat does visit> give it time and hopefuly the cat shoud go in the cage which triggers the door shut,as soon as that happens take him to the sanctuary, preferably a no kill one.

someone posted as if they havent got a clue what a tom cat is.
a tom cat is a male cat which still has balls.

the poor cat does not deserve to be treated with any malice, stop projecting human agression and thinking on to him.
he will be feeling scared and threatened of the dog he isnt attacking him through hate/power/pyschopathy etc,leave that to the scummy humans .

yes yes yes. In fact, neutered males actually make nice pets, i have a few - big babies lol It's a really nice feeling to trap, neuter and rehome a cat - making a small difference in your little corner of the world. Well maybe thats just the altruism junkie in me talking
Animals are only really aggressive for survival purposes, and because they are afraid. Not like us cranky humans haha

The problem with these cages is you can be arrested if you come back and find that the fat kid from next door got his head stuck in it.

Surprised you never heard of a tom-cat - standard name for a male cat. And yes, they are a lot more aggressive than the female cat. Can be right bastards - including eating their children.

I've never heard of a Tomcat eating kittens before, killing them yes but eating them? It's rare enough for the father to even be around once their born. They move between partners, the mother will also fight to the death to protect them.

Certain Neanderthals see cats as legitimate targets to torture abuse and kill, there was a thread on here about a year ago where a fella advocated drowning Kittens in a river.

See for instance if I said to them that I should strangle my unwanted pup with an electrical cord I'd be viewed upon as some sort of monster. Dogs are loyal and devoted to the owner, man's best friend.

Cats are evil dirty cnuts yadda yadda etc.

Years ago a full bred Doberman backed our Siamese into our porch.... big mistake! The cat shredded the dog's face. There was some amount of blood to clean up. The owner had the nerve to come shouting and complaining to us about how his prize dog had been mauled. Meanwhile, the cat just sat there cleaning bits out of his claws.

SHOVELLER

Can never understand why people buy dogs the size of their fingernail. Or dogs in a hand bag. Or dogs with coats.

Cats rule btw.

This cat is proving more difficult to catch than I thought it would be. I am going to need a Brody, Hopper and a bigger boat.

Your dog was obviously p1ssing the cat off, cats don't just attack for no reason. If you kill it you are a scumbag. There's plenty of places that will trap it humanely.

With a dog like that you'd want to watch out for birds of prey, escaped snakes and strong breezes too.

Fgs leave the wee dog alone. We had an aggressive Tom Cat that used to have a crack off the local dogs. We were never sure if he was doing it because he thought he was protecting us or showing off.

I'm sure OP will have the maturity to solve the issue without stooping to the level of a 'kill it' moron. I love cats but it's not fair that that wee dog gets bullied in his own back yard.

A Tom Cat, btw, is an unneutered male - they can be aggressive and territorial and lead short tough lives. A responsible owner will neuter his cat.

Some cats have a bad attitude. They invade gardens, and that's only the start.

My father grew up on a small farm with an aggressive Tom Cat that was missing an eye and had a limp , my father had three parallel scars on his face from hairline right down to below his mouth.

Neither him nor the Tom Cat talked 'bout it much.

Even my Grandmothers three JRTs knew their place.

A close friend of mine was attacked by a cat that came into his house. The friend had been feeding it every now and then and so was familiar with it. One day the cat came into his house and ended up trapping itself behind a cupboard. My friend managed to free it and while the cat was still dazed by the experience, he stepped away from the cat - but not far enough. The second the cat came to its senses it lunged at his face. He managed to get his hand up to block but the cat latched on and bit and bit. Long story short - the relative ended up in hospital for 10 days and nearly lost his arm.
While he was hospitalised he was asked if he wanted the cat "dealt with" but he told his family "No, no - keep it fed". Upon leaving hospital he returned home to see his assailant alive and well in his back garden - but revenge would be swift. The trusted .22 rifle was dragged from its slumber and the cat got three of the best while it lounged in the sun. The cat is now no more needless to say.

So OP you need to get rid of that thing asap. It might be you next!
