Is your cats or dogs or others catch the birds, rabbits, or more?>??

when I was teenager from age 14 to 18 yrs old. My mom's cat went outside andn staring at the bird and catch!!! then the bird died in my home on the side of outside when I get home from dorm on friday or next day sat I was come out the door and go around on the side but AHHHH there are black bird died on the ground then I tell my mom about it then my mom said ohhh ewww then my step dad pick them put up and threw in garbage. Then later few month I think or in summer there is again!!! black bird died on the side of my home arghhhh ewwww grrrr at my mom's cat lol. Then later on my step dad use water hose around on the grass and I was walk thur on other side but saw him use water hose so I hopefullying not want him to spray on me but he spray to show me then I looked then i said oh ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww and I told him DONT SHOW ME!!!! and he laugh then later he pick them up into trash can it was baby rabbit :( poor baby rabbit and I was feel like grrrr to said " YOU BAD BAD BAD TO KILL THE BIRDS AND BABY RABBIT!!!!" on my mom's cat lol but now my mom's cat is not allow go outside anymore.
 
I had two cats and both of them caught birds, mice, rats, but not little rabbits. One was more prolific than the other- and one preffered to stay home more than the other which made a difference too.

Basically the older the cat the more lazy it becomes :)

I didn't like it but unfortunately hunting is very strong instinct in cats and there is nothing you can do about it, except when you see them doing it- you may interfere and protect the bird or other small animal.
I accept that and do not hate cat for it.

What is really a big problem for bird population is the amount of cats that is out there, You should keep no more than one, two cats, Imagine what 14 cats in one area can do to the birds population and what just one or two in the same area may do.

Nature has a way to even out itself - the ratio of predators to prey is usally kept in check in nature pretty well by means of survival (survival of the fittest)
but if humans interfere and let predators (cats in this instance) to breed uncontrollably then the ratio predator -prey is in favor of predator and this is not good.

that is why it is very important to spay and neuter your pets, cats included.

Too my cat caught dead rats, mices and birds. SICKO!! My cat need me pay attention him. Guess he was very hungry! I feed up him! POOR! dead rats, mices and birds.
 
No, it doesn't matter if they are hungry or full. Even in the middle of their meal, cats with instinctively hunt if something happens close by. they'll kill it and continue eating their food. Such is a nature of a fierce cat hunter..

Man, my cat "Tiger" geez, every time in mornings when I open she ran out to chase birds. I had to run to grab her. But now my bf has to do it. GRRR Tiger. She is so predator.
 
I remember one time, when My cat (Koko) about 12 years old, now lives indoor for few years. my mother went to bought a yellow canary (I think, it was years ago) :roll: well, maybe it is canary? oh, never mind. it was grandma's birthday.

comes with big cage, Koko just stared at bird. licks chops mom told me to put koko in my bedroom so no funny business.

Overnight I think my bedroom door sucks not closes right, so Koko go downstairs and opens cage (don't ask me how) few feet away from is gulps :jaw:

Poor bird neck is broken. looks like koko was just playing with bird. My mother went to pet store on Sunday!
Many of them are closed, must be at grandma's place this afternoon, she has to pay for another bird two times, but geez.. who know that small bird is EXPENSIVE!!

:bye: bird :naughty: cat
