I had a male Maine Coon who would bring grouse inside, cripple one of their legs and then keep it around to play with, until, of course, we put it out of it’s misery and out of the house.
40 years ago, my inside only apartment cat somehow found a dormouse. It ruled the roost until we got rid of it. It would get up on its hind legs and chitter at the cat, who just sat there, watching it.
Don’t tell the PETAs, but most Northern Spitz dogs will devour entire mouse & bunny nests every Spring. Still, there is no shortage.
I have one cat, one Akita and we occasionally get feral cats on the farm. I have all sorts of song birds, from oriels to bluebirds to thrush and finch. They thrive on wild thistle and invade the wild junipers for the berries.
Rabbits do more plant damage than cats in the flower bed, as far as that complaint goes. I have noticed that the same folks who rant about cats think coyotes have a right to life, yet coyotes will decimate bird nests, as will fox.
