This is my battle scarred idiot cat. He likes to bring animals inside and promptly forget all about it.
This is my battle scarred idiot cat. He likes to bring animals inside and promptly forget all about it.
He also picks fights with neighbour cats and dogs and loses every time, costing me a fortune in vet bills. I love him.
Stop letting your cat outside.
146Some cats are escape artists- my timeshare cat is a verified cat burglar.
(He’d steal carrots of all things.)
They weren’t letting him out intentionally. Took a long while to seal up all the ways he found to get out.
But yes, it’s a dangerous world for cats. It’s not safe for them, and it’s not safe for critters they go all murder hobo on.
27Only if I can keep you inside too.

If your cat is attacking neighbor animals you should not let it outside anymore. Culling wildlife is problematic but "their nature". But a pet that actively attacks other people's pets is just a menace and will only end in heartache and legal issues.
138It's "their nature" but they are not part of nature (unless you live in like Turkey or something where they're from).

Maybe make the cat indoor-only and save on vet bills. And save the animals in your neighborhood.
It's a fact that cats hunt for fun in addition to sustenance. Since you presumably feed your cat, we can only assume that everything he attacks outdoors is for fun.
114Outdoor cats decimate bird populations. Letting your cat out is terrible for your local ecosystem. Seeing this stuff really frustrates me.

So if I run your cat over in the street, you would have no problem with it? Because you sure seem okay with letting your captive predator out to do the same to your entire neighborhood.
42I like to hear the howl of the coyotes and the hoot of the great horned owl nearby at night. We have no issues with cats roaming the neighborhood.
11Cats being predators are meant to kill things. If this causes a problem in your area, it's a sign cats weren't meant to be in that area and you should probably stop buying them and domesticate some native wildlife instead.

Maybe he wants a friend not food.
20This is such an image.
19He's just bringing you toys to practice your hunting skills!
17Let that poor mouse go. He has stories to tell his friends.
14He was in the bowl for less than a minute, then let out in the garden while the cat was locked inside for a while.

Our cat brought a live bat into the house once and then just let it go. The dogs were all over it, but thankfully didn't kill or injure it. I let it crawl along the wall to the front door, then it climbed up the screen door. I opened the screen and closed the front door. We checked back a half hour later and it was gone, so I guess it was okay, and flew away. That was a crazy experience.

13You're absolutely right.

Tom and Jerry
10To the mouse: "We have ways of making you talk."
7Officer Cat is about to start interrogating that mouse.
6They friends not food
5He just wanted to give you a present.
Damn human didn't eat the mouse I worked to catch a-gain.
5Cat: "What are you doing with the food?"
4I had a huge chonker of a cat that once brought a whole-ass jackrabbit in the house. The rabbit was almost bigger than my cat!
3The clip out of the top of the ear is done by animal control upon request after being neutered.
2Yeah, no. That’s not a thing where I live. It happened 5 years after he was neutered and came with other scratches and bite marks as well.
