It is hard to tell whether a cat is domestic or wild when it's tearing across a year. Most cats don't wear collars. Our cats are microchipped as an extra precaution. I think a more humane solution is to trap the wild cats and turn them over to the proper authorities. A cat hit by a bullet in the leg could suffer endlessly before finally expiring.
Our Finner was a stray, abandoned in a Madison apartment. I shudder to think what may have happened to him had a stranger not reported him to the humane society. Because he vomits, a few of his adoptive families even returned him to the shelter because they couldn't deal with it. Thank God they didn't release him into the wild. Now we have the most dear, sweet cat in our house, vomit and all. He's living proof that even abandoned, misfit cats can find a loving home.
