If somebody's pet is doing the same thing to his yard as the feral cat then I see little difference. Why shouldn't the cat be confined to your property just like your dog?

I am one of them and don't see them as targets to discuss what weapon to use to kill the. I would hope a moderator would lock this as it doesn't to be worthy of discussion given the intent. I hope you don't have pets that end up in someones yard like yours.
That is a fine if you control your cats. I'm the only resident on this street that no longer has any pets. 24 hours a day we have cats defecating in any loose dirt (gardens), flower pots, decorative gravel, urinating on and killing potted plants, chasing birds at our feeders, climbing on my vehicles and urinating on the windows. I can't leave my garage door open without having cats crawling through my shelves and my shop. Another neighbor had a wrecked car under a tarp in his drive for a short time. When he went to move it out there was a mother cat that gave birth in the back seat. Cats are fighting outside my windows at nightly. Complaints to the neighbors are unheeded. Repellents DON"T work. This town has no animal control. The county says I have to catch the cats and take them 20+ miles to the shelter. I too am working on a more reasonable solution. Maybe the Coyotes will help. Owners please keep your pets under control.
About 30 years ago a woman living down the street from where we lived at the time had at least a 100 cats. They seemed content to hang in and around her house so no big deal, until she died.
Relatives came and took everything from the house but the cats. Fast forward a year and you can imagine what the whole neighborhood was going through.
Then one day a guy moved into the neighborhood and after a week decided he'd had enough. Within 48 hours everything roaming around the neighborhood on four legs was stiff as a board. He never owned up to what he did but we all had a pretty good idea.
None of us agreed with the method, but it sure was nice to sleep at night with out hearing Tom cats courting and all the things you mentioned.
