Max should not be outdoors unleashed and unsupervised.
Yup. I know cats can do better roaming free than most pets, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe for them, and it’s certainly not safe for the local bird population.
Well, at least can we let Max take out that one bird in the neighborhood that divebombs everybody waiting for the bus? It's all black with a bit of red or orange on it's neck. I don't mind the pigeons, or the sparrows, or the robins, or the cardinals, or the blue jays, or the crows. They can all live..........but lets make that one bird go extinct.
Probably a nest up in the corner of the bus stop. The only time I've ever been dive-bombed was by some swallows when they had a nest up in the corner of the house's porch.
That bird is doing that cause it got eggs somewhere close by. Or they already hatched. Still want to kill it?
not every cat hunts birds, and in rural areas it's pretty safe for them to be outside
You must not live in North America, because house cats are about half thr diet of coyotes in the US and Canada.
no I live in Europe
100%. Cats are fine, but wild birds are better.
What about seagulls?
Gulls are dope
Dope, gulls are.
Gulls are dope
But it’s so cute how he tears apart local bird families!
Yep you should make sure to jump out from behind a bush or tree to make sure your cat stays on its toes the entire time it’s outside.
