It's a street cat, dude. Not mine. Do you want me to cut all random cat's balls so that you can feel better? Lol
I know you are joking, but honestly that would be a huge help. I would reach out to your local shelter and see if they have any TNR programs, that will help control the feral / street cats in your area.
I've been trying to trap the neighborhood tom cat for years. We call him Señor Cajones. Unfortunately, there is nothing about a cat sized, tuna baited have-a-heart trap that says "Large testicled cats only, no skunks, raccoons, foxes or neighbor cats!"
Have you tried a drop trap?
It's exactly what it sounds like. It drops around them rather than the cat needing to go in something. Essentially, you set it out for days and just bait it and don't see it.
Then when they get used to it, you set it. There are some that trigger automattically, and some you literally pull a string.
Wham, bam, thank you testicals.
TNR: Trap, Neuter, and Release is a thing many people do. It's God's work.
Costs money
Yes it does, but not for you, there are community funds that will generally cover that for ferals. Check with your local shelters.
Would help, yeah.
