Next door cat had my lovely song Thrush today!!!

[Mutts Nuts]

It's not YOUR Song Thrush, beatifull as they are unless you had it in a cage it couldn't belong to you.

ps. On a serious note, If anyone ever touched one of my cats they would get the same treatment back, magnified tenfold.

One of your cats comes into my garden messing with songbirds, my Patterdale will rip it to pieces.Your cat is ferral by the way as it is out of your control when in my garden

Sadly thats nature for you. Cruel but true. Cats higher up on the food chain that birds.

but still free to kill said cat. maybe even sell it to your local take away and make a few bob from the deed.

This is Cornwall you know

They can live for bloody years and kill hundreds of birds in just in one life time. When we had cats used to put bell around their necks to give birds some warning.

This everybody's happy cat and bird lovers.

Bloody cats around here are pissing me off too. Just dug over some old borders and cut some new garden beds, and the very next night there is shit all over the place and 3 of them are diarrhea. With a young son who loves to garden I have to go about with gloves on and cleaning up the crap before he can do his digging for worms and making mud pies! Infuriating.

Its illegal to leave your cat out overnight in Australia (to protect native birds) - should be the law here too.

Rubbish, if your dog was to rip my cat apart then so be it, natural order and all that.

If you were to do it, well I fear that old bird that got death threats for putting a moggy in a wheelie bin would have nothing on the backlash you would suffer.

This.

If I caught someone f***ing with my cat I'd cave their skull in.

Seriously not funny-is dreadfully sad but wouldn't be okay to hurt the cat-but understand your upset.have just spent the last week trying to rescue trapped birds so understand how attached can get.lease-just leave the cat alone-it's not its fault-maybe if it's owner put collar with bell on that would've helped-take it up with them maybe ?
Apart from it being a horrible thing-to hurt/kill an animal,it's also a criminal act.

What a Patterdale?

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Cats kill an estimated 55 million birds a year in the UK. Don't like them.

Perhaps birds are just stupid. I maybe investing in a cat again as we have too many birds shiting on our cars and our fences and our pathways they need naturally culling.

Don't like them.

You're not terribly bright, are you?

 

[brighton_girl87]

Bells don't seem to do much, my cat still manages to bring in birds, mice, lizards and even rabbits.

Fu*cking Cat! have seen it stalking last couple of day's but thought I had solved the problem when my dogs chased it out of garden! but oh no, the bastard was only biding its time. Have had this thrush coming into garden for last 3yrs and it successfully nested last year! I am having murderous thoughts! Am I being irrational or is this normal?

its what cats do... fair play to a cat if it can catch a bird its done what it was designed to do. Horrible i know but there you go the serengetty in your back garden - dont kill the cat you are evolutionally better than that....

The law here states cats out of control can be shot,what could be better
