lizmachin Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Would you keep your cat indoors during the bird nesting season. Â I heard a chap petitioning for this on the BBC a while ago. Â It is claimed that cats kill 1os of millions of birds during the nesting season . Â It is a simple question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I don't deliberately keep mine in, but they don't go out much anyway. I routinely stop birds from nesting in the tree in my garden though, on the basis that they'd be guaranteed to be eaten if they built there, as it's a favourite place for a number of cats.

sandie Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Would you keep your cat indoors during the bird nesting season. I heard a chap petitioning for this on the BBC a while ago.  It is claimed that cats kill 1os of millions of birds during the nesting season .  It is a simple question  Sorry cats will go with their instincts, It is nature why would you keep a cat indoors. As we do animals have an instinct to danger, so those that dont learn suffer the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeny Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I put bells on their collars just incase they do get out but its in a cats nature and it would be unfair to keep them in when they are used to being free to roam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discovery Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Definitely not and I would not put a collar on my cats with bells on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
websters gue Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Our cat turns into a homicidal maniac come spring and two years ago he killed four birds in the space of a week which left me with no alternative but to stick the biggest bell I could find on his collar.He's only managed to catch an obese wood pidgeon and a few fledgelings which probably fell out of their nests since.I'd strongly advise any cat owners to put a bell on their pets collar,particularly at this time of year.
