There is a good book out K...
How to train your cat
by I.C.A Dog
My cat can't read unfortunately
Write your comments here...Ha Ha I like that, ---- but seriously there are irresponsible people who allow their cats to slaughter wild birds.
The slaughter of any bird is unacceptable. Humans can stop this happening..
Cheers K

Fairly simple solution to try and halt some of estimated 16 million birds being killed by cats, put a collar with bell attached on them. Sure some cats wouldn't like it but start when they are kittens.
Drove over 6 thousand miles and visited 12 European countries (some more than once) and saw 3 Pheasants, wonder why that would be!!

Brue, I would have thought most 'House Cats' Are too lazy to try really hard to capture wild Birds. I've seen Cats in my garden lazily stalking the Birds but not very successfully. They do better in late Spring stalking chicks who are slow & trusting. House Cats don't need to hunt to live, they do it for fun & instinct.

One of my neighbors cats got two adult swallows last year, one on my roof, they were both badly mauled, I'll not go into details but the end result was that I had to kill both, broke my heart. If the cat had been wild and needed food I wouldn't have batter an eyelid

Previous posters are quite correct when they say that domestic cats don't need to slaughter birds to eat.
They slaughter for fun. It is unacceptable that owners allow this. Apparently in the UK, more birds are slaughtered by domestic cats than by humans involved in.the reprehensible pursuit of slaughtering them by shooting.
As I said before humans can stop this dreadful slaughter easily. . . All that's needed is the will do do.so
Cheers. K

I'm not convinced that 'fun' is right when applied to cats doing what comes naturally. We really don't know if they feel pleasure as we humans do, they may just be sharpening their innate survival skills, who knows? But we humans can get pleasure in perverse , cruel,and abhorant ways! And killing for fun as described is just plain wrong! We have the ability to choose right from wrong! Think about it, that's the difference between animals and us may be!
