Just captured another feral cat that was killing birds in my yard.

[thomsbrain]

so what we have here is a wild animal. one you don't own. an animal that needs to eat meat to survive. it is, in fact, trying to survive. therefore, it is hunting. successfully. eating another wild animal. that you also don't own.

and just because you happen to find one of these wild animals cute and the other one not cute, you somehow think you have a right to interrupt nature? shall we kill all the sea lions to protect the little cute penguins while we're at it?

i swear to god.

All that is fine and dandy, but it doesn't change the fact that the cat didn't belong in my yard, and I'm removing the threat.

oh, the THREAT? is your safety at risk now? you pansy. this isn't a mountain lion that is no longer shy of people, it's a cat. chill out and let survival of the fittest take its course.

His property. His decision on which animals he allows and kicks out. If he wants birds let him have them. If the cats get in the way let him do as he pleases. The are on his property anyways and disrupting the habitat he wishes to preserve.

First time offenses get the bb gun.

After 3 times, I'm afraid it's the .22.

91TTZ is on a jihad against cats. I can only assume that a cat murdered his father and raped his mother. Just let him be.

The people saying the birds that have fallen out of their nests are doomed don't know what they're talking about.

In most cases, when a bird falls out of its nest, it is only a few days away from being able to fly. At this stage, they will naturally peck around and eat things on their own. The only danger is predators before they learn to fly.

Correct, and it's also B.S. that the mothers won't have anything to do with them if people touch them.

Indeed.

It's also BS that the mothers will ignore them when they're on the ground. Quite the opposite, infact. The parents will usually go nuts when a baby falls out of the nest. They will continue to feed it for as long as they can still find it.

Exactly, who cares what he does on his property? He finds a uncollared cat killing things he likes, he can do whatever he wants to stop it.

It's a shame it wasn't a stray dog, because I'm sure Ron Mexico knows what to do with one.

1. You're whining.

2. It's my yard and it's within my legal right to take trespassing animals to the pound. A cat is not a native species, it's a foreign predator that I don't like.

3. You have nothing to contribute. You're whining because you love cats but your argument has no firm footing. It's my yard, I don't like cats, non-collared cats are roaming my yard, and they're killing the birds that I like- what's so hard to understand?

Let survival of the fittest take its course? Do you have any education on the subject at all? You can't just introduce non-native species to an area and let nature take its course. The non-native species will be at a huge advantage and will destroy the ecosystem.

Look at Australia and its rabbit problem.

If you read earlier in the thread, I said that by "feral" I mean cats that don't have a collar, don't stay inside the ower's property, and roam the town destroying wildlife or other people's property. They're not really a domesticated pet if they're roaming town all the time. They're a nuisance, and this particular nuisance is now in a Philadelphia pound.

I agree with the OP and there should be no "outdoor" cats, if you own an animal your responsible
for it. Just letting it roam around at will and calling it an "outdoor" cat is a joke, your just too damm
lazy to properly take care of it.

Is it difficult to comprehend that cats do not want to stay inside? How is locking a cat indoors "taking care of it"? If you're going to be that way, you shouldn't keep cats or dogs as pets.

Wow, I see so many cat lovers in here...who have no valid argument here. Insane.

"omg, they're just hunting!"

"leave nature alone!"

lol, as if domesticated house cats which have turned feral are native to this country. Oh, and just because a nest with chicks gets knocked out of the sky doesn't mean that natural selection is at work, it was just bad luck. If a chick isn't old enough to fly yet, it has nothing to do with NS. We had a bad storm once that broke a relatively small tree in half. My Husky heard something the next day and started barking at a certain area. There were two woodpecker chicks on the ground next to their nest. They weren't ready to fly yet, and the tree breaking wasn't their fault. We took them to a wildlife rehabilitator. Fun stuff.

No, you don't get it. Since it is god's little gift, a cat, he shouldn't touch it. Just leave it be to do whatever it wants.

Jesus Christ these cat loving retards are so out of it. :roll:

Interesting point of view.

I don't let my cat outside because it is dangerous outside, and I want her to live a long and happy life without having to worry about injuries, diseases, cars, animals, etc.

what? Wrong.

If the owner can't keep its pet in check, whether it goes outside or not, they shouldn't be keeping any pets at all.

Sure, cat owners are allowed to let their cats out, but if their cat wanders off and gets hit by a car or gets mauled by a dog off the owners property, they better not blame anyone but themselves. Cause you know, the dog was just acting on instinct. :roll:

 

[CorCentral]

So if a dog runs in my yard and kills a cat? KILL THE DOG?............ It was just a little kitty without its eyes open. YEA' RIGHT.

Numbnut thread about chicks falling out of trees and cats eating them. Hell, I'm sure a dog would eat them too if they roamed your yard!

If that fool lived in my neighborhood I can pretty much guarantee he would no longer have a cat. It is idots like him who create the problem and make people like me solve it.

For real though...one of our neighbors just lets his cats roam all over the place and they constantly jump the fence and stalk the birds in our backyard. We have a natural area with birdfeeders and we also enjoy watching the birds, so naturally the cats piss us off. Grrrrrr.

Trap the cats, bring them to an animal shelter if you don't want to kill them.

Next time any of you trappers step foot on my property, by accident or not - I am going to impound you in my basement until your rightful owners come and get you.

You said in your title that the cat is feral. Who can you blame? Mother nature?

If someone buys a cat as a pet but lets it roam the neighborhood without a tag, it's as good as feral.

While I don't blame mother nature, you can't blame me for siding with an animal I like over an animal I don't like.

Interesting. How do you feel about PETA?
