  • prey preference in cats

    As a former Cat Lady (max. 9 at a time, but that was including kittens), I'm going to stick my nose in here to say that cats have individual preferences for prey. I used to let my indoor/outdoor cats roam in a rural area, and got different "presents" from different cats. One specialized in birds, one went after mice, and one had a taste for grasshoppers and garter snakes. Another one brought me a very young live bunny, which I caught and set free while keeping the cat in another room. He was not much of a hunter, and since the rabbit was unharmed I suspected he wanted to keep it as a pet.

    Anyhoo, just because a cat is outside that doesn't mean it is killing birds. And when are the bird lovers going to get rid of the starlings and other imports? Any word on that?On Umbra on cats and birds posted 2 years ago 72 Responses
