I bet he'd be fun to try an comb out!. He'd have to be sedated by a professional like a Vet. Wild cats can get crazy if their handled. First he'd have to be trapped in a havahart cage, and then released again after since thats the only life he's known.
I hate seeing them out in the freezing cold here. The one I had seen on occassion was limping real bad, his right rear leg winter before last. I think he probably found somewhere to die, he couldn't feed himself like that. It troubled me. Perhaps I should have tried catching him, but I knew that the Human Society would just put him asleep, either way there's no positive outcome other than putting him out of his misery. I agree with ya, I had a few words with a fellow out at the Park a few weeks ago who released his dog only to chase after the wildlife. A couple weeks earlier I saw a goose with badly bent or mangled leg, and I wondered how it could have happened?. Maybe from something like that?. I called the Human Society who told me they were gonna send somebody out. I don't know if they did, or if it was caught, but I reported it.
Signs are posted all over the Park, "No Dogs Allowed". The people will get ticketed from the Sheriffs Dept if their caught. They do patrol it, and no one ever knows when they'll show?. If the people are gonna walk their dogs they should keep them leashed, carry a pooper scooper, and bag. None do!.
