[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3703264, member: 35036"] Ive caught lots of feral cats in the past, you can’t use dart guns or live traps, they’re either too smart, too fast, or not made (tranquilizer guns for cats). Your best bet is to trap it. Start feeding it inside the shed, barn, front enclosed porch, whatever. Once you get it into the enclosed area, close the door. Then the real rodeo begins. I suggest a heavy jacket, pants, and heavy gloves. You need to get it trapped in a corner, behind something, or somewhere it can’t get out of. If you can grab it, grab it by the scruff and immediately grab both of its back legs with your other hand. Contrary to popular belief, grabbing a cat by the scruff only immobilizes it if they want to be immobilized. I know this from experience, sadly. If you kinda press the cats back against your scruff holding forearm by pulling the legs a bit it also helps keep control of the cat. [/QUOTE]
