If I saw a cat like that hanging around my back door there's no way I'd be bothering to ring the response team. I'd just shoot it. Same as I'd hit a snake over the head with a shovel.
I guess I'd have to have a gun first, but if I lived where there'd be a chance of animals like that hanging around, I'd have one.
In the mean time, I DO have my trusty shovel under the house.
