I've also had 8; yes 8, offers to loan me their hunting rifle (actually bow in 1 case & throwing axes in another).I do not have anything against these cats personally.  They are just animals (although some cats serve over to the Dark Side a little too easily; such as my sister's attack cat).  They are just not being properly handled; thus forcing me to figure out what to do.Since I live inside the city limits there is a set list of procedures.1. Inform Animal Control (part of my taxes pays these people after all).2. Animal Control will Investigate and Respond Accordingly (in this case, tell the 'owner' that 'stray' cats are roaming free and harming other people's property, thus AC will be setting out live traps to catch them.  And, should your cat be one of those caught, you can pick it up at the pound, providing you provide proof of shots and tags.3. Set out Traps.  (This is the step we are on; one cat was caught.  It had to be destroyed because it was too wild to put up for adoption and no one wanted to claim it).I'm not looking to make these cats suffer (despite the suffering/aggravation they are causing me).  The problem is an irresponsible owner, not a bunch of feral felines.  If the owner was a decent, well, owner, I would have no problems.  But, she isn't thus, I've been forced to take matters into my own hands.  Or, in this case Animal Control because that is what they are there for.Oh,If you think Anti-Freeze is a horrible way for a Cat to die, you should see one that gets its enitre back half ran over by a tractor trailer, but manages to live.  For a while.  Not a pretty sight.</blockquote>
