Thread: Wife was upset at the tabby

Poor sidewinder and poor bird, think everything else has been said. x

I just looked out the window and the most adorable baby bunny was just having a wee stroll on my lawn - of course, as usual, my camera battery was down and I couldn't take a picture to show you... you would all have 'oooooo'd and 'aaaaaah'd for sure!
this got me to researching how I can preserve them, somehow, make them more comfy - I didn't find anything BUT here's a note:
"The harsh reality is that many of us who care about wild baby bunnies may be contributing to the suffering and death. House cats who roam outside will kill about every other time they go out. And unlike feral cats who hunt because they are hungry, and kill immediately, house cats maul and torment their prey, sometimes skinning baby bunnies alive. Cat owners need to provide managed outdoor habitats for their cats – such as windowboxes or pens. Providing a bell on your cat will help warn the wildlife if you cannot keep him inside. Keep your dogs on a leash with you if you see a rabbit nest"

I haddn't thought of that .... and I have to admit, while wild cats do kill for food, our adorable babies just wanna play... and that can't be very pleasant for the birdy or the bunny that suddenly find himself relegated to toy status, right?

Alekto,
I researched the same thing a few years back, they say it is best to let them find food for themselves. That makes them less dependent on humans for their food. The bunnies that pass through my yard, eat the bird food that the birds kick out of the feeders. I may be a little messy when I fill the bird and the squirrel feeders. My neighbors must think I am crazy when I run barking through my back yard to chase the critters away before I let the hell hounds out! But it scares them away and there is less barking. If you ever heard beagles bay, it is very loud and annoying. I feel very bad for the little critters that get killed by domestic animals. My old neighbor hung a huge bell on her Tom cat and it was enough to give the wild life at least a head start before he pounced on them. Ginger is an inside kitty unless I have her on a leash. I had a cat get run over and killed that was the last cat that I let roam. Poor Samurai, he was a Siamese. I loved him to pieces. But that is another sad tail! see how I did that?

well - that's it - Bridgit-the-wikkle-wabbit's bought it! Trespasser, the mean fluffy neighbour's cat who keeps coming to annoy Neevie and goad her through the window, killed our Bridgit! (yes, she was ours!) - HO was looking out the window and exclaimed "he killed the rabbit! oh my God he killed my rabbit - look he's running away with it!" - time for me to go around the house to try to intercept and see if may be Bridgit was still alive (I don't want to think of her end...) and he had disapeard...

Let it be known, from this day forward Trespasser you are no longer welcome on our land!
