    Any cat caught in a trap is feral! Hammer or .22 real quick and then use the scissors to take the fur off along the back, approx 10-15mm long and put it in a zip lock bag - makes excellent fishing flies.
    As for your trapping, 32 hec shouldnt take too long to get around. Set your traps in the afternoon, keep your moggies inside, check them early in the morning and set them all off. Reset in the armo. Have personally had 1000's of trap nights close to houses and towns and only ever once caught a moggie. And the others I have worked with have hardly ever caught a moggie. When we do, chances are it may not have any injuries as they dont usually go ape, unlike a feral cat, which goes off big time.
