In the last couple of days, many harsh words were being exchanged in the public against our feline friends. Some people said our docile household cats were killers of billions and billions of birds and rodents each year. These same people also labeled cats an invasive species
Yes, cats do prey on other small animals. But it is totally unfair to the cats if we hold them responsible for endangering the entire bird population. Like many other animals in the wild, it is their instinct to hunt. In the countryside, the feral cats have no choice but to kill to survive and to protect themselves and their off springs. But once Fifi and Felix cohabit with us under the same roof, the onus is on us, their human friends, to stop these nonchalant creatures mangling up a chatty bird, or bringing a live mouse onto the kitchen floor that sent everyone shrieking up on the kitchen table.
Fortunately, for all the bird lovers around the world, there is a tried and true measure the cat owners can do to prevent the “killing” from happening. All they have to remember is to fastening a little bell onto their kitties’ collar. Once the bell is on, the “massacre” stops. PURR and simple! - Ayee
PS:
Of course, all cat owners also remember to have their cats altered.
