Cat killing small animals...how to stop? (1 Viewer)

[SHIZNITTTT]

Neighbor lady stops by and says that our cat is killing birds in her backyard. I guess the lady has been feeding Wrens and our cat is stalking and killing them. It is an indoor and outdoor cat. I could drive it to another town and drop it off? Not really a family pet, he comes and goes via our doggie door.

Neighbor lady is about 75 years old, and bitter acting. When she leaves after a pleasant talk about my murderous cat she says, "IF I WANTED A CAT I WOULD GET A CAT!" Guess Cheeto is not welcome in her backyard anymore?

Teach it a killing code so it only kills bad things. Eventually it'll learn to control its urges and then eventually it'll become a lumberjack

Poison the ##### next door.

Hire a cat exterminator.

Cats are bad-### hunting machines. Only way you can stop it is to keep the cat inside.

And tell your crackpot neighbor that birds have been finding their own food for at least 50 years now.

I think he is too far gone. He is an adult and has killed a LOT of animals in his lifetime.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Getting rid of this cat because it is attacking birds would be like getting rid of your baby because it cries.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

The problem is that Cheeto leaves his kill many times on the owner's porch which neighbor lady doesn't like I guess. He kills a lot of rabbits which are destroying people's gardens most people leave their garages partially open so he can chase out field mice which are a nuisance in our neighborhood. We back up to a field and the mice this time of year are out hunting meals, looking for nice places to stay warm which are usually neighbor's garages.

She sounds like an ungrateful b itch.

Can't stop the cat from doing what is natural. Sounds like the birds in your neighborhood need to get smarter or die

I have about 5-6 acres of woods behind my house the Climby hunts in. He isn't mine BTW, nobody is man enough to own Climby. He lives off the land. Well and the hand outs the neighbors give him. The neighbors with a giant German Shepard that Climby doesn't give two ####s about. Because that's how Climby operates.

Well Cheeto just let himself in our house one day through the doggie door. My two English Bulldogs move out of the way when he comes in the house. Cheeto helps himself to the dog food and water while the dogs either kennel up, or stay in another room. I think I may have petted Cheeto once, but it could have been a mistake. His name is probably not Cheeto, but that is what the boys call him. He probably has some bad ### ninja name like 邻居是一个阴户

Teach it a lesson by having a bigger animal kill it.

Here's the thing, you cat hates you.

What's happening is that your cat is, by it's nature, a hunter. A predator. A stalker. This is normal cat behavior. Centuries of "domestication" haven't really changed that. The cat is barely domesticated as it is.

Anyway, your cat is just exhibiting normal cat behavior, which is, providing for its "family". Your cat basically wakes up and sees you as a big, useless, idiot, who can't take care of himself. He feels sorry for you because he never sees you go out and kill anything on your own. Your cat thinks its his job to go out and kill animals because you can't do it yourself.

Basically, there's only one solution here to changing your cats behavior. You have to change it's opinion of you. Tomorrow morning, get up extra extra early. Like, an hour before sunrise. Strip down to your boxer shorts. Get your cat up and take it outside with you. Go into your neighbor's yard with your cat, and make your cat watch as you kill wren after wren with your bare hands. Spend the whole morning as a naked, one-man, bird-killing machine. Then, take the pile of bird corpses and lay them in front of your cat. Rub its nose in them. But don't let him take them for himself. Keep those corpses as your trophies. Let him see them but don't let him touch them.

Then he'll get the message. You can provide damn well for yourself and you don't need his help.

You'll probably only need to do this once every 4-6 months from here on out to keep your cat satisfied you aren't a total imbecile.

I don't hand out many likes but this earned it.

Reminds me of one of our German directors talking about getting married "zee cat vill always vant to catch mice"

 

[NCCommish]

As to the OP it sounds like the cat is very useful in your neighborhood. By keeping the vermin out of the living space he is actually helping to prevent the spread of several nasty diseases.And really this is a pure cat human relationship. He is doing what cats have done for humans for literally millennia. And in return you give some food, water and a place to get out of the weather. Unfortunately the birds are there when he is bored and just wants to kill something.

Maybe help your neighbor out by getting taller feeders and relocating them a bit so Cheeto finds them a less easy target?

I'm just picturing the old lady next door when she sees this as she gets her morning coffee: " "

I doubt you'll hear from her again.

I have a cat and there are two options. Get it declawed which I would never do or put a bell on its collar. Ever since the bell she rarely gets birds, mostly moles in the ground now!

 

[The Kerminator]

Here's a thought. How about keeping your cat in your yard? Why do cat owners feel it is OK to let their cat roam free in the neighborhood? The old lady should call animal control or the local humane society. Man up and be a responsible pet owner.

Cheeto doesn't sound like a bell friendly cat. The best solution is not to let them out. They live longer with far fewer health problems. Well fed cats have decimated the American song bird population.

He needs this cat outside. Some old ##### is setting food to draw in filthy birds to #### all over everyone's car.

She can try. She'll just put herself on this beast's #### list though.

A three legged cat missing a hind leg is not jumping an 8 foot privacy fence.

OK, so you've eliminated the fence option, the leash option . . . I guess that leaves the shotgun.

Cheeto in "kneading" my chest. Is he tenderizing me for the kill later?
