My father in laws Farm used to be within an easy hour drive of a major city, His farm was often overrun with feral cats released/runwawy from suburbia. One day he had some spllage when loading the milk truck and withing a minute we had over fifty cats trying to lick up the puddle.
he told me to go get the 12 gauge. If you like cats fine keep one and gas the rest, but if youl like to hunt quail, pheasant, ducks and grouse, Feral cats can eradicate a hatchling population very quickly.
