You don't use them as bait........ You cook them up for dinner. So many many recipes so few cats. Lmao

Don't believe anyone will find, a policy of tpwd on that topic.
If you treat it like you to a buffalo first , it would probably not even need dead red spray.

I keep telling them that on a balloon rig it would just swim around awhile and the biggun would just knock him off the hook and he would be fine!!!!

Can't use mammals or mammal blood for bait or chum. Tree hungers went nuts when it came out some shark fisherman were using stray animals for bait. Other than that I would say that is an excellent use for a house cat.

Wow.... this is kind of a hard one confused

First and foremost is the kid..... but that is nothing we can do anything about.....

Second is the cat..... I personally like cats.... BUT I hate stupid...... so if it is between a simple LIKE and stupid... LIKE looses..... thumb

As far as the bait thing.... that could work....parts of that critter already have hooks installed (though barbless) so it would be an effective way to fix stupid in this case.... banana

Last and foremost...... Let us know how it turns out.... My wife has a stupid dog I have been wondering about (sadly without the barbless hooks).... bolt

Actually ..... once I re-read your original post I thought maybe the cat WAS safe..... (ie: which it were you referring to).

But thought it was best NOT to go there... hung

Just to add to the "animals for bait" comment.
My dad was a charter captain for a number of years in Port A after he retired. We ran 2 boats, a 31 bertram and a 25 chris.. Back about when the movie "Jaws" came out. Well, after the movie, thats all anybody wanted to fish for.. We had a couple of guys from Kansas that would come every year. One owned a beef packing plant and the other owned a Funeral home.. They wanted to go out and catch "Jaws" so they brought a plastic 35 gal barrel of blood. My dad's comment that morning ( im sure you know where this is going now) was priceless!! " Before you put that thing on my boat , I want to know which one of you sons of B***** brought that blood"
