OK....FIRST: WHO authorized the $$ for this stupid arse study?
2: What blithering idiot does not recognize an animal searching for FOOD!? They do not kill for the fun of it!
3. Are the same people with their knickers in a twist about cats killing birds, the SAME ones that are OK with abortion????
They are damned IDIOTS asnd the worse IDIOTA S are those that ALLOW these horsechit “studies” to go on.
I rest my case
At one time we had four cats and actually they did!!!Their instinct is to hunt so if they get a chance they will do just that. We were always finding dead prey on our porch. Point is the more birds there are the more birds cats will kill...it's a ratio thing!!
Big cats in the wild, no. But bored kittehs, yes. Our kittehs are indoor only, never hungry, and they love to hunt insects. Boy cat used to eat flies but now he just leaves them as a present for me - or squashed against the window. They don't like stink bugs however - they will just sit and monitor it.
