My cat killed a huge rat the other day. He's not a very big cat either, which is unusual because rats are actually capable of fighting back and killing cats which is why many cats don't bother rats at all! But he's a good kitty, generally he likes catching mice not birds. Although birds are dumber than rodents and far easier to kill!

Cats will attack everything that moves, which under circumstances might even kill them. My cat brought me a snake one time. She also attacked a marten.

Frogs, lizzards, birds anything.

I found a dead cardinal in our yard recently. I suspect our tabby killed it, though I did find the bird in a different area than where he normally brings us his "gifts." He's killed a couple of smallish-medium sized rats and a couple squirrels, this was the first bird that I've seen. He's belled, but if he did kill this bird, then obviously the bell isn't doing any good :-( poor birdy... bad kitty... but if we keep him inside he goes nuts, tearing up furniture, carpets, and he has a special thing for shredding the toilet paper. He's the first cat I've ever owned who insists on going outside regularly, and I've had several cats over the years.

I couldnt be capable to keep a cat inside to be honest. I would feel bad, it`s a wild animal to some extent and I feel that it somehow deserves to be in "the wild".

Not quite true. He was playing with a small lizard the other day, but he didn't kill it he let it go. He hunts at night, thus he doesn't really bother birds.
