"That's why you keep a Super-soaker on the window ledge, to teach them to stay away from your garden. (The cats, not the birds, obviously..)" I might invest in one now wolf ! I couldn't get to the window fast enough to try and scare the birds away | |||

"I have just spent the last half an hour watching about 12 baby birds and a couple of mothers in the garden. The tiny ones were at first sat in the blossom that had fallen and all you could see was their little heads and the mothers were coming back to feed them. Then they all got in the waterfall in the pond, they were flapping about everywhere, it looked so sweet..........then a big black fecking cat came out of the bushes and they all flew off, except for one baby who didn't move quite as fast.......the cat caught it, bit into it, dropped it on the floor and walked away. Ruddy nasty cat !!" Its just natural selection and survival of the fittest. Animals will die all over the world to predictors every day. Not pleasant to see but the meat your eating tonight was once alive. with the small bird it was possibly the weakest and less likely to survive anyway. | |||

"Wasn't Little Birds a collection of short erotic stories by Anais Nin? oh i had forgotten about that! i used to have it..wonderful! lent it to a frend...hm! ex-friend!" Funny you should write that. I introduced Anais Nin to a woman I was going to meet. Then her father took seriously ill. That's left me with two copies as a result. She has a very strong influence on a number of women. | |||

Not pleasant to see but the meat your eating tonight was once alive. with the small bird it was possibly the weakest and less likely to survive anyway." But it's not natural selection, it's un-natural selection. That bird wasn't preyed upon by a starving predator, it was killed for fun by a bored cat. By your definition, if I stand with my shotgun and kill every bird that flies over, tough on them, survival of the fittest? Cats kill millions of wild birds in the UK every year, not many are doing it to survive. Every cat owner should be made, by Law, to fit their cat with a collar and bell, to at least give the wild bird population a chance. As for the poster whose ex had 4 cats.....well, I might just understand why she's an ex. A woman's sanity is inversely proportional to the number of cats she owns. (Not to mention a house that stinks of cat piss) | |||
