How to catch a stray cat

Kevin McCloud · 2015-03-18 13:11:45

I have a problem on the farm with a stray tom cat, he is eating my other cats food and molesting my cats. I tried a live cage but he is not taking the bait and entering the cage. Any suggestions?

A a covered TNR cage with tuna while keeping your own cats in over night is probably your best bet.

My cats are half wild, they live on the farm not the house.

The cage is really your only option. Either persevere until you catch him in it or catch your own cats in it and have them spayed, hence tomcat gets bored and stops calling round.
