Then my roommate's cat (the sweet one) hopped the fence with the poor thing in his mouth.
I started yelling at him, he was like, "but Auntie Becca- I brought you a present!" and meanwhile this bird was screaming in pain. He dropped it; it hopped under the fence; and he went back over the fence to finish the job. I was so relieved when the cries stopped.
I'm not sure what to do. We have two cats, and while the boy cat would probably be content if we didn't let him go outside, my cat would literally tear the house to shreds. My cat doesn't kill things, though. We also have a young dog who's used to going in and out through the doggy/kitty door, and I think she too would tear the house apart if she didn't have the access. She's a sneaky one.
I'm not sure if I'm looking for advice. I'm just sad about the bird, and my roommate's sleeping. Thanks for reading
This is delusional. You may not have seen your cat kill things but it does. Contrary to popular lolcatz beliefs, these animals are more comfortable murdering than manicuring. It's a general fault of modern humanity to assume ownership and domestication of the mini-tiger. Shame on us for forgetting it pounces.
