What do you do with a genuinly, dangerously psychotic stray cat?

Animal Control is useless and I don't know what to do. The city sent a truck, they couldn't find the cat, and now they won't send another so I'm going to have to deal with this. Are there techniques to trapping a seriously dangerous cat?

It might have rabies. Or it's owner might feed it meth because it doesn't comprehend pain and it's extremely aggressive.

It keeps coming to the apt complex meowing like it's in extreme pain. But it's not. It's an evil, evil cat that lunges at me, won't let me out of my door, and won't go away.

Going against my otherwise humane side I had to resort to throwing water at it, jabbing at it with a broom and finally smacking it with a broom. The fucker not only won't move, it doesn't seem phased and it'll attack even more. It's really quite frightening.

Help?

    Jesus Christ! Get the landlord on this, and keep calling Animal Control. Making a big fuss is usually the only way to get stuff like this taken care of. Shit, call the cops, too.

    In the meantime, you could take pictures of it and make dangerously psychotic lolcats while you're stuck inside.

    You can usually get a trap for a cat on loan from the animal shelter or humane society for free, provided that you are not going to intentionally mistreat the animal or keep it in the trap for long.

    Good luck.

    Have you tried feeding it? Maybe it is psychotic and mean, because it is starving and people are always hitting it with brooms???
