where does my cat go

Re: where does my cat go

we have a thread about how a cat knows when you are home, what about where my cat goes all day? my cat is a indoor/outdoor cat, she likes to be out all day then come home at night. what and where could she possibly be, and be doing?

Your (when I say "your", I mean all those who have outdoor cats) cat goes out to breed, and to kill whatever it can catch, not to eat it, just to satisfy its instinct to kill. It will kill every baby rabbit in a nest, it will break every egg or kill every baby bird in a ground nesting birds nest. Just to kill. Outdoor cats are a MAJOR cause of death for many small birds and mammals. Cats are a non-native, invasive species, much like the Asian Carp, the snakehead, and the zebra mussel. (I think it's the zebra mussel)

Before you start yelling PETA and all that BS, I hunt, ALOT. We hardly ever buy meat at the store. If you come to my house to eat, you are not eating beef.

I just have a major issue with a critter that kills other critters just to be killing. According to the Wildlife Resources that is called Wanton Waste, and is a crime. There is no way I will kill any critter without a reason. Deer, turkey, dove, quail, grouse, duck, goose, squirrel, rabbit, and whatever else I hunt goes on the table. Shoot groundhogs for ruining fields, yotes for hurting the game population, trap muskrats for draining ponds, trap coons because rabies and distemper is becoming a problem around here. Everything has a purpose.
Not so with cats.

If you don't believe me, ask one of the several members on here that are from Austrailia what they think of outdoor cats. While you are at it, ask them how their feral cat population got started.

Re: where does my cat go

I trap them at night in the Hav-a -heart trap. I give them in the trap to my neighbor the animal control officer in the morning before she goes to work. It comes back empty....kind of like Net-Flix for cats.
