So your a bird lover,why not be an animal lover too,i have cats the youngest chases the squirrels out of the garden (far more devastating to bird feed supplies than any cat) and although she may get the odd bird,she keeps the squirrels at bay.

Sorry to her that mate, I had my cat for 19 years, very sad when he went.

OK, I have admitted defeat. We have squirrels/foxes/birds/badgers and they all bring 'something' to my garden. I did not realise how much I love watching the various birds and animals in my garden. I still think cats shit where ever they like!

He will hate you for 24 hours but he can now spend the rest of his life without having a permamnent hard-on and being able to do nothing about it. He will thank you, he won't know it but he will.

Ocassionally one of my cats "coincides" with a bird who may have been using one of the bird feeders - in which case I have to dig a small hole and bury the resultant catastrophe. Much as I would rather this didn't happen there is nothing you can do about it - its a bit like trying to convince people on here not to eat dead chickens, cows, sheep or pigs.

PS the dog won't notice what he hasn't got after a day or so after the swelling goes down - like our "30 goals a season" target man.

Dogs can't stay mad at you for long, a few treats and he'll be your mate again.

Jeez, please forgive me Fur Cough I thought you were mucking about. You obviously think more about your cat than some of your replies to the posters on NSC. To be honest I think you are deluded giving a cat human characteristics. (is that the right spelling?) In the thirty five years I have lived in my present address I havent seen anything to change my mind : That is, cats are nasty pieces of work due to their DNA. I have spent hundreds of pounds on bird feed. My family of six would rather see hundreds of birds feeding from our various 'sites' in the garden than see one fecking cat trying to disrupt that.

I'm not giving her human characteristics, it's well documented that humans are not the only animal to grieve. Had I not witnessed this myself I would have doubed it, they never really seemed "close" had good tear ups and sometimes seem to enjoy the others misfortune when being locked out of the house accidentaly.

FWIW, when this one goes I will probably buy a bird feeder and enjoy watching them in the garden without having to worry about hoovering up feathers and such like.

Animals have very few traits, they have love for ones close, they show fear and they show survival, we show much more, most of them bad.

9 years in Wales with a huge garden with just about every bird you can imagine
4 bird feeders and 3 bird boxes
only one bird killed in this time with up to 5 cats
mountains of dead mice though
biggest threat to the birds in our garden
that bastard of a neighbour we had and the circling Buzzards in the afternoons
cats are generally lazy sods and if its on the ground, has 4 legs and is easier to catch than a feisty Robin or a rather large Jackdaw thats the path they take
