I am glad to see you are training your cats right.

You should start a bird killing school for cats. It could be next to the new dog hotel. Maybe you could write a book? Go on Ophra? Dr Phil??
You could start a line of cat camo clothing.

That would be a great idea if I had a single thing to do with it.

Hell, I put a HUGE BELL on her so things could hear her coming!!

If I could report people that post pics like that (showing their cat killing a bird) to police or somewhere believe me, the cops would already be arresting him.

What's up, can't handle seeing reality? Why would someone be offended by one animal killing another. It's nature. And besides, that pic looked more like a cat taking a nap in an already dilapidated birdhouse.

That is kinda goofy - whats next? calling the PD on the bear that poo'd in the woods? for vandelism?

I guess Andrea, Chris and I have the only cats on the planet that still chase rodents and birds, I won't even tell you how many times I've found a dead mouse on my door mat, but I'm wierd, I'd rather my cat catch it and kill it then it getting into the house

now is this where I'm supposed to start feeling very remorseful over my cat causing the death of vermin?

and I just have to ask, cause its funny, what would the cops charge the cat with? rodent homicide?

We'll call it rodentia.

Rage of seeing a cat kill rodents.

Then the Hartz flea collar company will start a news letter on the rise of the bubonic plague.

And some special interest group will note that a high ranking politican in the US Government is making millions by blocking pet pharmaceuticals to rural areas where rodents thrive. In Particular, the plague will be worse in places such as New York city. Afterall, we all know that rats don't have to have four legs.......

HAAA! Honey I have been arrested, the cat killed another bird.

We've discussed it before, but I'll ask again. What if it was a picture of a cat killed by a pit bull?

that happened to my neighbors cat in my front yard late one night when another neighbors gate was left open and his two german shepards chased and killed the cat - no pix

it happens, but I think its probably a lot more common for cats to kill mice/birds then dogs to kill cats

you should see how many times I've found mouse parts on my door step - offerings from the cat .... I don't mind cause I don't want mice around at all so I figure they're earning their keep by taking care of pest control for free

I don't have pictures, I don't want to have pictures, but my ex-malamutes killed 3 cats. two in my backyard, one in my front yard while they were securely tied up. If cat owners didn't allow their cats to roam freely, they might not have died by dog bites. My dogs aren't allowed to roam freely as I keep them in my backyard, or secured by leash while out front. If cat owners cared for their pets in the same maner, then 3 cats would have not died prematurely to old age.

Being that it is 'natural' and 'reality', would it be okay to post pictures?

I said it before and I will say it again, IF the cat is WILD, and not a pet, then ok.

The bird was wild and not a pet, and the cat was not FORCED to kill, or HELPED in any way!

get a grip Michael, the mold in your apt was much more disgusting than a pic of a dead bird.

Post the pics and we will let you know.
Nothing wrong with a proud pet owner bragging on their pet. Visual aids just bring a bit of reality to the discussion. I saw no blood or guts spewing out of the dead bird. It's all in good clean fun.

Added: Since your cat is becoming notorious you should consider one of these cat wigs

No I'm talking about the original posting.

The cat killed a bird.

The key point, the bird was still alive and they threw it outside and then the cat killed it.

Technically what they are saying is they considered the bird has no value as a living thing. I would hate to see how they treat other people. The cat is domesticated. They could have saved the bird. They chose not to. Thats not nature. Thats called being a dick.

And worthless human beings in my opinion. I don't even have to know them to know that much.



[edit]

And frankly I don't care about the flames of 'well I know this person they are good in real life'. You would treat any living thing how you want to be treated.

Again thats not wild, thats just inhumane.

To use the example, what if a coyote came in your yard and tried to attack one of your animals. Its it's nature. Would you just throw your injured animal out to the coyote. Or if it was a cat and a vicious dog had chewed it up but it was still alive, its the exact same concept and principle.

quote "I said it before and I will say it again, IF the cat is WILD, and not a pet, then ok. The bird was wild and not a pet, and the cat was not FORCED to kill, or HELPED in any way!"

The cat is not wild. That is they key. The bird was not a pet correct, but did the cat NEED to eat the bird to survive? Do you only feed your cat birds? Those pics does not look like a cat killing the bird for food. That looks like the bird killing the cat because its been trained to play with things that move and be playful in that manner. Thats training and upbringing. My cat was a feral that I rescued from the wild and she would not attack a bird because she is properly fed and handled. And if she did attack a bird or had a bird in the house, I would not inhumanely let the cat kill the bird, I would have the bird euthanized.

There would be no purpose to have that cat making the last part of that bird's life full of pain when all the cat is doing is thinking she is "playing".

[supermom]

How could she save a bird with tooth punctures in it? And being that she didn't choose to save an animal from natural selection does not make her to be a bad person.
That was a really strong post--and uncalled for.

Bull-crap.

And its not that hard to take an animal to a vet to be euthanized. It's called being lazy.
