Rose, that’s what cats DO!

In my neighborhood, if a cat chased a bird, then about 20 of his friends would attack the cat … it’s a flock kind of thing.

“Yon Cassius (Rose) has that ‘lean’ and hungry look”

Peekaboo chases birds? That doesn’t fly, or …it flies in the face of cat physics. (alternate Rocky title)

’Cat’ching the bird would be ’cat’astrophic for the bird!

Peekaboo is just trying to get her a present, to bring into the house.

Oh please, that bird is just taunting her. Birds can fly higher than one foot off the ground, you know.

Watched our cat climb a tree where the birds were roosting one evening. After he was well hiddenI called his name he answered “meow” all the birds left.

less of the cat pleeze, more of pasquale

Cats that are allowed outside are one of the main sources of decline in songbird species.

Where we used to live, our cats chased rabbits and chipmunks.

When we lived in Oregon there was an open field next to us. All the neighborhood cats learned to stay out of it from late spring to early fall. There were bunnies, squirrels, robins, sparrows and dozens of other birds that used the brush in it for nesting…including a pair of nasty tempered bluejays that chased off every cat that so much as passed too close to the edges.

. . . leave her alone and let her chase the stupid bird.if she’s actually able to catch it, it needed to be culled from the gene pool anyway.

Domestic Cats actually help re-ballance an ecology that has (due to trapping, hunting and modern vehicular traffic) just about been depleted of small predator species.When’s the last time you saw a Fox, Bobcat, Weasel, Marten, or other small carnivore?

My brother’s family adopted a small, white cat once. It brought home at least one dead bird every day, so they put a bell on it’s collar. Six bells later it was STILL bringing them home!
