Psycho Cat, Help...

[bob4432]

i have had 3 cats over the past 8 years and my wife has had cats here whole life. they would get the occasional bird here and there. i have a doggie door, so i would wake up and find the bird carcass, no biggie.

my current cat is a serial killer, in the last 18 mos she has brought home over 100 birds, not baby birds but full size doves. about 6-8 mos ago, when she was at her killing peak, we put a collar on her with bells, thinking it would be give the birds a fair warning as she sound like a reindeer. well, she has tuned her hunting skill to compensate for the bells and the last month or so, the casualties have been steadily rising.

today alone, in about 2 hours, she brought 3 home, i was able to get one from her and get it out of the house, 1 is missing in action somewhere in the house (in a couple of days i will saying, what is that smell?) as i cannot find it and the other was found headless.

needless to say this is getting to be a bit of a pain in the ass. i need to leave the doggie door open as i have 2 dogs. besides the obvious that the cat haters will say - kill her, anybody have any good ideas on how to curb her killing appetite?

Killer cats :Q

Beat her without mercy?

if she is getting them by going up a tree, then you can wrap barbed wire around the tree trunk.. dont worry, she will not hurt herself on it... she will just not climb the trees anymore... you can also put either cat repellent or curry powder on the areas that you dont want her.

Declaw her.

 

[Gothgar]

get a dog...

 

[kage69]

Give her a collar with more bells on it.


You should really keep your cats indoors though. They tend to live longer that way, and you don't have to worry about fleas, ticks, etc.

arm the doves with pepper sprays?

 

[HardcoreRobot]

find a good recipe for dove

all my cats do is sit on their lazy ass... scratch my chair, annoy me and piss me off.

I just stumbled on that, I do not know how it works.

lock her in the basement with a leopard seal and/or a salt water crocodile

DONT. cats that are declawed act really, really weird- they bite people a lot, and arent the same afterwards. its really cruel, and youll regret it sooner rather than later.

Sounds like she is trying to carry her own weight around the house by bringing home supper.

I used to have a declawed cat. Didnt get her declawed myself, but she was very sweet and calm.
But she still thought she had claws. She would try to use the scratching posts and what not.

I am not advocating it, but it's an option if you really want this bird killing business to stop.

 

[Tylanner]

Congratulate it

 

[GasX]

Accept the fact that your pet is an instinctual predator...

thanks for the replies, in response we live in a condo, so i can't but barbed wire on the trees, and i am pretty sure she gets them on the ground. as far as declaw, she is 4 years old and i wouldn't do that to her at this age, our other cat was declawed when she was very young so it was okay that way, but not when they are old. i think i may buy one of those paddle things along with more bells. maybe i should look for a recipe for dove

in understand that she is and instinctual predator, but she is too good of a hunter, hell i wouldn't care if she got 1 a month, but this is ridiculous...

anybody want a pic of one of the latest victims?

They don't really work...

In order for them to be safe... they need to have a breakaway collar ... so the cat doesnt strangle itself if it gets caught on a branch or something...

And if it is a breakaway collar, the cat can rip it off without a problem.

We have been thru many of those type of devices... spend a fortune on them and then pick them up off the lawn in the backyard... broken.

Nor do I, but at least it's fashionable.
