Last night's cat
« on: January 24, 2026, 10:33:42 AM »
Caught my second cat of the season. 24.5lb I think this cold weather has them moving. Seems like an older tom judging by his teeth. Let me know what you guys think.

His front right paw was injured and missing a toe. Ill post a picture of both his front paws.

Great catch RayDog!! Looks like a very healthy cat, with good coloring.
Keep it up. And this is absolutely great cat weather.

Good to crop that old tom for sure.
Looks like another cat or two, you’re gonna need a new cage. I recommend a good stout one made by members of WSTA.

Thanks! This was my first trap, it really can't handle to many more critters without repair! I have a couple more made by ouchfoss, they are much better quality.

Mature for sure. The weight alone tells you that but the worn teeth with heavy yellowing guarantees it. Nice work
