knoppy1987 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Here is my monster (her name is June) doing some posing. She has had kittens so any saggy belly comments will result in a dead blue tit. You have been warned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not directed at you knoppy, your post just made me think of something. Cats are mostly beautiful creatures, but the toll they take on songbirds is horrendous. They also annoy the heck out of me when they use my garden as a toilet. I wish their owners (as with dogs) would be more responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are cats, not dogs when I lived with my grandparents our house backed onto a big field that was full of wildlife. We had 7 cats at one point and it's fair to say we had our fair share of birds, mice and worst of all frogs. One cat of ours in particular was very good at catching big birds and he had a set of teeth on him like a lion. Apparently eating birds is good for their teeth, so that might explain that.

Rugeley Villa Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 My cat has been out all night and I let him in about 10 minutes ago. Quick bite to eat and he's at the door wanting to go back out, Dirty stop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lived a hermit's life for several years there, and "owned" around 20 cats, some semi-feral. He loved cats. I think as a young kid he took refuge in the pet cats they had over the years in order to escape the drunken tyranny of my grandfather.

My mum had two semi feral cats but unfortunately one got killed by a staffy and the other died of old age.

In reality, it is sad other things die for no reason other than play. My cat does listen to my calls and I largely keep her indoors more because of the area I live in. She does murder spiders however. She stands on one of the legs, getting it in a vice, and paws the remaining legs off. Gets bored after about 3 legs. In the summer I regularly come home to a crime scene. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A safe collar is an ineffective one, as it isn't going to stay on for long; a collar that isn't easily removed is a strangle hazard. I try and keep mine inside as much as possible, for their own safety more so than anything else, but they got through 5 or 6 collars each before I gave up.
