Phooey, I thought Graham the Vet had cat-traps he was happy to lend out? did I hallucinate someone telling me that, or was it a different vet? I would definitely pay to have ButchTom knackered, he's beginning to seriously annoy me. I zotted him with the hosepipe on Saturday, a nice direct hit with the highly directed jet nozzle, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. He's very, very cagey and we're extremely unlikely to catch him without traps. Then again, the EL is into the construction of mad Heath Robinson devices, maybe we can do something with a pit trap, dynamite and a descending anvil...
