Judgement is in order for what is feral and what is a pet. Trapping close to rural areas or close to farm lands might be a pet. I caught 2 cats and a dog this year. The dog had no collar but it is a neighbors dog. The one cat I got about 2 weeks ago was a feral cat. I know this because I shot it's momma last year under my shed she was living. I should of done the same to the kitten but I let it live. I gave it a warning though when I released it. No lives left if I catch you again. I caught a black one today. Not sure if it's a neighbors or what. It was very upset in my NO.2 monty. No damage to it at all from that trap. But then again,cats don't struggle much when caught to do much damagae to them.I let it go also with a warning. It's about judgment on these feral animals.
