I keep my cats inside. I don't want then run over by a car, or snatched by the hawks that carry off squirrels and other rodents.

Feral cats kill native species like lizards, birds, rabbits and other native species. People who feed feral cats are virtue signalers and should be shot in the ass with a b.b. gun.

“They kill birds too”

Only the stupid slow ones.

That veterinarian in Texas that bow hunted a cat in her yard lost her license to practice along with her charges.

Then got a DWI a year later. Quite the downward spiral.

The cat is not an invasive species. Is this a prelude to licensing cats?

Anyone who would do something that evil truly deserves a similar death.

You've condemned millions of people to death because over history it's been done at least that many times for various reasons in various cultures. Would I do it? Of course not.

Not people I’d care to share the planet with. I’ve had many kittens over the years that died from awful diseases, fleas, cars, and feral dogs, and that still haunts me that I wasn’t able to prevent it from happening. To willfully murder tiny, helpless, healthy and loving little creatures is simply monstrous.

Feral cats in our area are losing territory to the local bobcats. Something is going to occupy the ecological niche; I’d just as soon it be smaller than me. Cats are fine, Bobs are OK, but when the mountain lions move in, I’m going to start fighting back.

My first exposure to a crazy cat lady was back in the late 60’s when I was 5-6 years old. My grandmother took me to visit our neighbor up on the hill. When we pulled up to the house, there were hundreds of cats all over the place. She bought pick up loads of cat food at the feed store. After she died all those cats went feral and lived in the woods near our farm. It took decades to kill off all the damn wild cats. Eventually the coyotes and fox got them.

I have always been of the opinion that this woman is bat___ crazy. It's a shame that all those hours she spent hard at studying to get her DVM were wiped away by her heinous act. I can't believe a VETERINARIAN would shoot a helpless kitty with a freakin' BOW. She should be locked up to protect the public and all kitties.

That, too.

The cats got them hooked on smokes.

But... if a fox moves into the area both cats and rabbits start disappearing.

When we used to Rabbit hunt in the fall we would see bits and pieces of rabbit fur maybe a foot... And occasionally we would shoot a few out of the trees, the cats that is. They were drop offs & wild and they fed on the rabbits so we dropped them.

I saw a cat swallow a bird whole. It hid under a car and when a bird landed nearby it swooped in and all I saw were the tail feathers sticking out.

I live in rural Northern Nevada. My Imperial Rottweiler often dines on jackrabbits, cottontails, pigeons, and doves. But he does not bother the quail, instead, he enjoys watching them parading across the property.
