I bet you wish you\'d described it as a hard push.
So as a result of evolution and intelligence, humans should watch their pets being eaten by unatural predators without intervening?
Congratulations on your snide gibe there, by the way. I bet your mother is really proud of you
I think you did the right thing Easy. Cat owners simply do not take responsibility for their pets and the collateral damage they cause - most are in some sort of denial. You should not have to go to the expense and inconvenience of barring your windows because of a selfish cat owner. If you had a mouse or rat problem you would simply terminate them, do the same for the cat.

ask your vet about microchipping your pets including birds.
I know what you mean, I suppose it's just a case of reasonable force. I was takling more about people who seem to have a vendetta against cirtain animalsPut it this way. If someone was sitting in their living room with their cat at their feet, when all of a sudden, from out of nowhere, someones dog ran into the room and starting savaging their cat in front of them, what action would be reasonable for the cat owner to take against the dog ?
Throw some WATER on it ?
Well I was actually on NSC at the time when it happened last night, and as it was a fairly unusual incident, I felt it worth reporting. I;ve started threads on far worse drivel than that, as others will testify. Whether people approved of it or not honestly didn;t really cross my mind at the time (maybe I;d have started a poll on it if it had). I;ve probably embellished the incident somewhat anyway, but hey, it was late, I was finishing off a bottle of red, etc.Seems a bit nobby to start a thread like you have tbh. Did you really seriously think everyone would \\\'down\\\' with smackin the crap out of a cat?

CRAP
how do you take responsibility for a cats behaviour? they are predatory animals with a hunting instinct, hense they bring in mice, birds, frogs, or whatever takes their fancy.
