I have 4 cats. I have always had cats & I know that occasionally they will catch a mouse, bird, frog etc. I don't like it but it is their instinct.
However one of these 4 is a real hunter. It breaks my heart to find her prey all over the place. I often rescue the frog! It lives in one of our ponds & I am sure it is the same one she gets every time. She never hurts it & it SCREAMS when she gets it which brings me running.
This morning the (very heavy) bird table was on the ground & a dead thrush next to it- she never eats them at all.
She has a collar with a bell on it but I don't know any other way to try & limit her hunting. She is a really sweet loving little cat but this hunting instinct is really strong in her & I don't know any other way to stop her other than keeping her in which is really not an option. We do live opposite a wood & have a field at the end of the garden which doesn't help!
The other 3 - one of which is her sister-are as good as gold.
Any ideas?
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
