He also picks fights with neighbour cats and dogs and loses every time, costing me a fortune in vet bills. I love him.
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.
Outdoor cats decimate bird populations. Letting your cat out is terrible for your local ecosystem. Seeing this stuff really frustrates me.
Stop letting your cat outside.
Some 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.
Only if I can keep you inside too.
As if I’m not already basically an indoor human
To the mouse: “We have ways of making you talk.”
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.
Let that poor mouse go. He has stories to tell his friends.
I 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!
The clip out of the top of the ear is done by animal control upon request after being neutered.
Yeah, 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.
