To trap them and bring them to a shelter.
That is the most humane way.

>>2268050
Also only feed your cat indoors.

Tylenol xDDDDdDdD

>15 shekels have been deposited into your account

Don't feed stray cats, don't shelter stray cats. If there is a big influx that continue to fuck around your yard, trap them and bring them to a shelter. Keep in mind your cats are also subject to this treatment and may actually be spreading FeLV.

>too lazy and uncaring to keep pet cats indoors

Fuck off.

>reduce the chances of them infecting my cats?
with leukemia?
That is not contagious in the way you think

>>2268728
Feline leukemia is.

>>2268045
Its contagious via an extremely communicable virus that causes genetic damage or some such that gives the cat leukemia. I don't keep my cats inside because they've always been outside and they seem to like it more. My yard had a huge fence and is bigger than my house easily. They have a large covered enclosed kennel with all sorts of cool cat trees and such and is out of the wind and rain when there is any.

Trapping the Strays I know are infected seems like a difficult and expensive endeavor, but what traps would you recommend? It seems more humane to just shoot them somewhere instantaneously lethal rather than trapping them in a small cage and putting them in another cage where they are poked and prodded and then stuck with poison that slowly shuts down their organs.

Sounds like you don't want to put the effort into humanely killing the cats and would like to shoot stuff and get the moral cleansing to do so.

A live catch trap can be reused indefinite times, and some of the cats might be rehomed.

If you are that bent on shooting, use a proper gun not a fucking airgun that would just wound them.

>>2268737
proper gun as in a caliber you would use fox hunting, like .22
buying a trap is cheaper than buying a gun and bullets so you are full of shit

>>2268736
Your cats are completely covered? Like a sort of catio thing? Because of the other cats can't get to your cats, there's no problem. There needs to be direct contact for the cats to catch it, it's not air borne. But if you have free roaming cats and are also killing free roaming cats, don't fucking whine about it here when your cats get shot by someone

You don't even need to buy a trap; If you are bringing them to the shelter, you can ask the shelter to borrow the traps for free, as long as you eventually return them. The best part about this, though, is those cats are tested for FeLV, given a behavior test, seen if they are fixed, etc, and all that is put on a data base, everything down to coat color and gender. If they get an influx of feral cats or ill cats in, that fucks up the shelter's Live Release rates, which affects their overall look, and maybe they will do something about it or another group will pop up and help catch the cats, vaccinate them or adopt them out/euthanize them once they see there is a problem in an area with cats. Let them know that you are trying to get rid of the stray cat problem in your area, that just leaves them one less connection to make

Also I've seen cats live with 32 lead bbs in them, an airgun will do next to nothing. You will need a real gun with real ammo
