i dont know what to do my cat just keeps killing squirrels and baby chipmunks and such and leaving them on my door step...some of them are still alive and suffering when i discover them,im told to stomp on their heads otherwise its my fault their dying a slow and painful death..i cant do that. i got the cat declawed and i cant keep the little bitch inside.. Any ideas??
I know it is sad, but that is what cats do, He/she is only trying to support his family and providing them with food, Your cat is doing nothing wrong, its instincts and you can't scold the cat for that.
yeah your cat is just showing how they care for you that they will bring you food my cat b4 she passed, use to bring me bunnies that was her favorite it was horrible b.c i love bunnies but if they were still alive my dog use to finish them off so it was no big deal... just tell your cat thank you but this kind of a gift is not very appreciated and take them some place else maybe she/ he will listen lol
There's nothing you can do. Your cat's just being a cat. And if you had your cat declawed (which is cruel, imo) you shouldn't be letting it out because it can't defend itself.
i flip out man...im sick of Burying the little fuckers! so now i just let my ma' throw em over to the neighbors yard so i dont have to deal with it..ha actually i didnt want the cat declawed cause i too use to think it was cruel but atleast she wont be killing twice as many animals now..think about that. meat eating humans are just like animals themselves.
I'm sure your neighbors don't appreciate being presented with dead or dying animals any more than you do -- and at least your cat has the excuse of instinct. Just sayin'.
You hypocritical bitch! Let's see, which is more cruel....A CAT, who follows it's instincts by attacking small prey in the wild, or a human, who KNOWS BETTER, forcing the cat to have very painful surgery that permanently rips it's finger nails out for the rest of its life just so the human doesn't have to deal with the fact that her cat is a CARNIVORE?? Hey, I know, lets go tranquilize lions and then rip all their teeth and claws out so they don't hurt the poor zebras. We can leave them some Tofu and they can eat that the rest of their lives...moron. You are forcing your cat to live by your HUMAN standards of what is "right" and what is "wrong," even though your cat has no way of understanding why it is "wrong" (if you call following your instincts "wrong") to kill prey in the wild. Declawing your cat just makes him a declawed cat, it doesn't make him a vegetarian. What about all the meat that you feed him in his cat food?? Where do you think that meat came from?? And meat-eating humans are just like animals themselves? Oh gee, who'da thought, humans are also a part of the animal kingdom...derr!! You have ZERO right to call yourself an animal rights activist because you don't wanna deal with dead animals (ever seen a nature program?? Animals die ALL THE TIME!!!), but you will subject your cat (an animal you personally have a responsibility to take care of) to a cruel and painful surgery, and then continue to let him outside where he won't be able to defend himself if he gets into a cat fight, just so you can "save" a few squirrels, as if squirrels and chipmunks are an endangered species. If you can't accept the fact that your cat is a CAT and not a tofu-eating human, then DON'T OWN a cat. Give him to the ASPCA where he can find an owner with a bit more common sense.
The only thing declawing did was protect your furniture. Your cat is doing what she is genetically programmed to do. If you can't handle that then don't own a cat.
your kitty is just trying to impress you, don't show any signs that you even notice the rodents it brings to you. Maybe your cat will just get bored.
squirrel is good to eat, so is rabbit too! i had to do my share of killing, when i was on my grandparents farm. if you don't kill, you don't eat and, you die. life lives by eating life... that is just the way it is. i did not make up the laws of nature. kitty is being a good provider for her family same, as your parents were for you. just keep an axe by the door and, when you find a dying animal, just chop their heads off, it is less messy then crushing their heads.
When they bring you something they caught that means i love you...and please never declaw they won't be able to climb or fight if they need to protect themselves...get some old furniture they can scratch on and some scratching posts, and rub some cat nip on it and enjoy your kitty, they are such special souls in little furry suits. Sometimes I find wiskers around the house and when i do I feel like i found a present that day...
maybe you could grind it up and serve it as natural raw food, but don't cook it because cats can never have ant kind of cooked bones..
