Cats killing billions of animals??

Baby Grand · Jan 29, 2013

While drinking my first cup of coffee a few mornings ago I looked out the window and saw Spike, our toothless Norwegian Forest Cat, stalking a wild turkey, which was bigger than the cat is. I got to laughing so hard the coffee came out my nose.

BBC News - Cats killing billions of animals in the US

The photo in this version looks more like a killer than that kitten in the OP.

Bet Spike thought he was going to have big bird for breakfast.

Have you ever found a cat hung by it collar?

not enough of them...

*irresponsible* cat owners are low life slackers and most are hypocrites (if you ask them how they feel about nature and invading species)

We have a couple of cats that have showed up, adopted us and became our "Barn Cats" (Barney and "Miss Kitty" respectibly). Their job is to endanger the life and well being of any critters that want to eat the $$$$ grain in the barn or any birds who want to make messes on the hay in the hayloft and they are very good at their jobs...

As a kid we often would have a cat or two that never came up to the house with the others but lived in the hay loft.

I agree. When we got to 15 I started to shell out for some vet bills to make the cats non natural. My good friend just takes and drops them in a low dense cat populated area.

What really irks me is the groups of bleeding hearts that donate to the organizations that trap, spay or neuter feral cats (that are non-native to America) and then re-release them to the wild...

IMO, anyone that does this should be incarcerated...
