We do not suffer feral cats, where I live. Last time we had one, one
resident complained how he wanted to put it down cuz it always
coughing up hairballs on his deck. I kindly offered to loan him my
..22 pistol. He declined, but the cat was gone within the week.

I've seen this kinda cat behavior. I usta open a lakeside
tackle/food/boat rental biz, every morning. In the Summer, the feral
cats insisted upon coughing up their hairballs on the deck surrounding
the store and I hadda clean 'em up before opening. I'll never get rid
of that vision of a big ol' hairball with one squirrel eyeball and a
set of squirrel teeth hanging off it. Didn't know whether to pick it
up and dispose of it or beat it with a shovel!
