Ninja and the Scared Birds

Our cats are generally good and don't bother bringing stuff in. However, on my birthday in January I was presented with a mouse's head. Not sure if it was a present or a warning.

 

Today is my wife's birthday. She came downstairs and found a pile of cat sick, ALL the cats' toys and a mouse corpse.

 

It's the thought that counts.

We had a mouse's head. We affectionately named it Fred.

 

I can live with corpses, but birds flying round the house is not so good.

One did bring a blue tit into the house a couple of weeks ago, which was chirrping away in his mouth. When I tried to take it off him, the little psycopath turned away from me and then snapped its neck.

They're designed that way. It's not like they choose to become murderous psychopathic bastards!

And there's perfectly simple solutions like bells and toys that non-psychopathic owners routinely rely on with great success.

I think I heard somewhere that they're trying to train you to become a self-sufficient hunter, as they would with their kittens.  (Pause a moment to consider what that means about the whole "who-owns-whom" dynamic.)  They start with dead things; then they bring half-dead things; then you graduate into catching your own mice and birds.

 

The good news is, you're a level more advanced than Mrs Sut.

About 7.30pm on Friday night he comes walking through the catflap with another juvenile blackbird, which despite my best efforts didn't make it. We ordered some collars with bells on and they arrived yesterday (making Steve Bezos some more dollar). This morning, we awoke to find that Ninja had managed to get his collar off. We have a spare, so we'll see if we are more successful tonight.

I was talking to the fella whose garden backs onto ours the other day. He said he found about a dozen cat collars under a shrub when he was clearing up. I wouldn't bother with collars, they get them off straight away.

The only other option is to try and keep them in at the main feeding times for the birds I think.

Was he looking for jazz mags? I bet he was looking for jazz mags.
