Thank those cats who keep the vermin down or you’d have mice dining on your kitchen table and leaving poo in the baby’s crib. Squirrels are nothing but mice with bushy tails that get into your attic and chew up your electrical wires and A/C.
Can’t believe those here who are so sad about the cute little birds getting eaten but no one is sad about the cows and pigs that go into store bought cat food or those steak and hot dogs their owners will be feasting on this weekend.
There was an old lady who swallowed a cow,
I don’t know how she swallowed a cow;
She swallowed the cow to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly
We will always keep one outdoor cat for the mice, that’s all it takes. Birds, squirrels and the like never make it into our home.
Our excess cats are feral cats, or wild ones. We live in the woods, typically feral cats winter kill - get so cold their ears and tails freeze off, get weak from starving (mice cannot be found under deep snow) and become coyote & hawk bait.
It’s natures way, no different than a cat catching a bird.
I will not kill them, just do nothing to stand in natures way let winter and nature take care of them the same any other feral cat is taken care of by mother nature.
