Cranfield Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 stu, they are unlikely to be true Wild Cats. These live in remote parts of the Scottish Highlands, are very rare and protected. They are probably feral cats. The big snag is they could belong to somebody. Just because they are not wearing collars and are eating pheasants eggs(?), does not mean they are not domestic cats. I would suggest that the landowner contacts the RSPCA who will trap them, if they believe their welfare is at risk, or they are causing problems. Or, you can contact a pest control company who will do the same thing, but it will cost you money. I would not shoot them, its far too risky. If the owners found out and prosecuted you, its likely you would lose your gun licence (at least). My 0.2p worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berettaboy Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Good idea.. Reminds me of I joke I once heard.... A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking it, the monkey jumps around all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them, then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole. The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" The guy says, "No, what?" "He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!", says the bartender. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the patron. He eats everything in sight, the little pest. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves. Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is finishing his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?", he asks. "Now what?", responds the patron. "Well, he just put a cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeeper. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he swallowed that cue ball, he measures everything first."
