Elaine,

Catch the cat and call the dog catcher to come and pick it up. It is being
a nuisance as far as I can see. So you are within your rights.

I've thought of catching it because I think it's a feral. The bad side
is that it would probably be killed in the pound. I frighten it away
every time it comes and I haven't seen it in the yard for a while so it
might be working.

I have a black tomcat that comes to drink from the pond. Now the shubies
in that barrel never come to the surface when I'm there. When I first got
them, they played in the filter outflow and were always cruising the
duckweed hunting for food. Now I put food in and it disappears only after
I walk away from the pond. Every now and again I see a flash of color so I
know they're alive.

Will bird netting stop a cat, or is there any way to "reassure" the fish
so I can actually see them and know they're healthy? Is the cat even
what's troubling the fish?
