Oh, and if there are THAT many birds around, she's just trimming the population. You could look at getting a dog door with an RFID tag on your dogs collar. It has a magnet that holds the dog door closed until it's set off by the correct collar. Dog can get out, but not the cats.

edit:
Smart dog doors. Just something I googled, have not idea if this is a good product or not, but the idea could help. It would keep your cats indoors 100%, and they might not like that either since they are used to being indoor/outdoor animals.

can you add that to a doggie door that is already in place? it is in a french door...
 
dude, i think it's quite healthy for ur cat to practice its natural killing instincts, I mean at least she's not working off her boredom on ur sofa or anything rite??

I think it'd be cool to have a killer cat like that, assuming she's not hostile towards me.

let cats be cats 🙂

You would have to shop around... I just know they are available. See my edit above for a link to one.
 
couldn't you make a lot selling that cat? I mean, "bird eating cat, kills 3 a day" put that in the paper and hold an auction!

😛

oh, I think that thing works like a selectable lock. U put the RFID on the dog and not the cat if u only want the dog through. So when the dog gets near the lock would open, and the cat wouldnt get in/out.

I'd imagine u can install those in most doors. but I'd rather have the cat run wild 😀
 
Of course since the cat is so badass it'll probably just hold one of the dogs at claw point and bring him near the door so that it can get out. Either that or just kill the dog and take the collar.
 
true, your cat did learn to work around the collar bell, only a matter of time before she figures out the mysterious door

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.

Everyone's living situation is different, so I wouldn't say ALL cats should be outdoors. But no way should ALL cats be kept indoors. They're animals, they need to be outside. My dad's cat is going on 15 years old and he still spends all night outside, and he's still an excellent hunter. He taught himself to eat the animals, not just drop them on your doorstep like most cats. He's perfectly healthy, and it's because he is an outdoor cat. A flea collar deals with fleas and the occasional trip to the vet for worms isn't such a big deal.
 
yeah man, you should teach your cat to eat wut she kills
so you dont have to deal with the dead bodies, and dont have to feed her as much neither 😀

she hasn't f*cked with the dogs yet, but she could easiyl kill them, they are toy poodles, so they wouldn't be much of a problem for her, even though she is tiny and only weighs 7#s or so...

server with bird is currently down, will be up in about 10mins....

I agree... I rescue cats. The abused, neglected and abandoned ones... I get them healthy, fixed and vaccinated and try to find them homes... the ones that no one will ever want (missing paw, or tail or going blind or whatever) will live here forever...

We have 10 cats right now... and six of them where outdoor cats to begin with. From the junk yard, or a farm or just showed up at my door... There is no way in the world that I can keep these cats indoors all the time... I open the backdoor while I brew the morning coffee and six of them go out into the fenced in backyard... we cut a hole in the back door of the garage and put food, water and blankets in there for them. They come home for lunch, go back out, come in for dinner, go back out and finally have a 10:00PM curfew and they all sleep in for the night. The four that have never gone out, will never go out.

I tried keeping them in... they were miserable, destroyed the house and all fought. I cut all the trees in the back yard right back so the birds cannot nest in them... I put barbed wire around the trunk of the trees about four to six feet up, and I made sure the fence keeps them from other people property.

I cannot remember the last time any of them brought home a dead animal, but I do know that there is at least one skunk and a family of possums that they have made 'friends' with.
