BIRD CATCHING!!!!

by Gems
(England)

My cat appears to have grown up to become a complete Savage............ He is catching (and most of the time KILLING!!)2 birds/mice PER DAY!!!

He thinks he is doing good, and i appreciate they are treats for me and my partner, and i appreciate its instinct but i want him to stop and that i dont want anymore 'Treats'

Do you know any tricks that i can use to stop him doing this??

Answer by Kate
Quick answer, No. I have never been able to stop my cats from doing what comes naturally. I think some cats are more prone to it than others but it is all good fun for them.
Do you play hunting games with him indoors at all? Sometimes if they have this it satisfies their desire to go out side and do it.
Apart from that and perhaps truing to squirt him with water when you catch him doing it (sometimes works but not always), I have no solution.

Thanks for your comments.

What i have decided to do is attach a small bell to his collar so that the mice and birds can hear him coming.

Hopefully this will work? Fingers crossed!

You could keep him indoors. Is he neutered? that might help. I took in a stray/feral tom cat who was very aggressive and after his neuter just a nice cat....still tough but not overly.
