Don't know how old that cat is but just take what you can get from it. It has survived this long without your help. Just keep paying attention to it..stroke it every now and then and one day it may make sure you belong to it.

to me, drifter looks like a young adult.
i don't believe she will ever leave this source of food.
when i started this thread i was asking about how to doctor her.
that's because when she first got her she was so thin i thot she was dieing of some disease.
i was wrong.
hunting was just keeping her alive, barely.


she now looks normal n healthy from getting proper food to supplement her prey.
she will not give up this easy .food

It is a given that the cat has worms. Maybe in a month or so get one of those worming kits. It is topical stuff that goes tween the shoulders. As long as she kills critters though she will keep getting them. So you will have to re-apply as needed. And worming sometimes has a side benefit. Cat will gain weight kill less and become more of a domestic critter

Do coyotes outrun cats or wear them down?

 

[susieqz]

i suspect that a cat can outrun one, if it's a quick dash.
a good climber should be safe around trees, but we have few on the plains.
but, in a chase of more than seconds, the cat will be lunch.

i wish more people would post kitty pics.
i'm still trying to, but now the memory card is in the mailbox n the 3 mile road is too muddy to drive.

Don't even think of taking this kitty's shotgun

oooh, i like both kitty n gun. a double shotgun is on my wish list.
i hope others will follow your lead n show more cat pics.

I like the kittie's choice of shotguns. Winchester if I am not wrong. Cat will never outrun the yote..but they will out climb and hide.... hunkered down in a safer place. Luckily we are one of the few places around that has trees. We probably have about 10 acres worth on the ranch here. Deer live there and raid the garden at night.

Deer are Agent Orange with split hooves

susie:

Here is "LB" (for Little Boy", the biggest boned cat I've ever had) in his bed. How is this gun related? Well, his bed is in top of a gun safe!! He's watching over my collection!! Watch cat!!

Best Regards, Les

i think i've seen one deer here in the last 8 years.
see more antilope, but usually at half a mile.
they never come close enow to hurt anything.

 

[susieqz]

lb is adorable.
why does a cat pic need to be gun related?
the only animals i have pics of with my guns are dead.

gonna be a while before i can pose drifter with my model 15.
i'm just hoping for her to stand still long enow for a pic.

Deer are Agent Orange with split hooves

^^^^^^ this is definitely truth! We have approx 75 deer that live here adjacent to the garden crops. It is a surprise they can still run with all the lead shot they have in their tail ends. I shoot them with #9 loads and they stay away for a few days. and they do not like the electric fencing or the little blinking lights at night

 

[susieqz]

if i had deer bothering my garden, i'd want a bigger cat.
i do like automatic defenses.

That's what I use an 1100 auto. One day talking with the game warden I told him I was gonna start shooting deer cause they were eating my crops..He told me not to do that as he would have to charge me with shooting deer out of seaso..It would be poaching. The deer belong to the state...So me and my big mouth told him..If the deer belonged to the state and he was the state's representative on game animals...I wanted him to remove his deer from my land or I would shoot them for trespass. He didn't know what to say... He just mumbled a bit and left...never has come back. I don't really NEED to hunt deer but I do shoot them in the butt with shotguns. I have four young gals that come out and get their deer every year. And a young serviceman.

 

[susieqz]

have you thot of caltrops?

 

[Skeet 028]

Um...I have to till the ground and mow the area around the gardens. Be a bit hard on tractor tires..
