We had a dragonfly swarm recently. My cats had a field day. My male cat actually killed and ate a hummingbird once. I couldn’t believe it. Feeder was in the wrong place. I’ll never give up cats. They serve their purpose making out home mouse free. Haven’t had any chipmunk holes in my lawn in years either. >:)
As an added benefit, cats will keep your lawn free of moles. Love cats. Limited maintenance maximum love and will keep your household free of rodents ... what is not to love.
My current cat, Smokey, must have a non-aggresion pact with the household mouse. He doesn’t bother it. He has brought home a baby rabbit and a mole, to leave on our doorstep, ‘tho’. A former cat, since passed on to the great Animals’ Fiddlers’ Green, used to catch them and bring them still alive to us...at 3 AM in our bed!
