She's been staying out all night since the weather got warm, and stays out a lot during the day. Tonight, right at dusk I was about to go outside for some fresh air, when I got to the door I saw my cat standing on her hind legs looking at something. There was a fox heading for her, she jumped onto a planter. The fox was going right for her like it was about to pounce. I let it see me and it ran away, looking back as it ran. My cat is naive and acted like she had no clue she was about to be eaten. She's eight years old but has always been lucky so far. At night she often stays in a tree, but also stays below the tree where she can climb it if danger comes. I've been leaving food out at night and her cat friends come over to visit and eat. I guess I'll start spending more time outside to protect my cat. I've got a snap trap I can put out but I'm worried it would catch a cat instead. I know someone will tell me to keep her inside all the time but that would be like keeping her a prisoner and she likes to be outside in the fresh air and sunshine with her friends. *Damn Fox*. I had a puppy that cried all night so I started leaving it outside. It did a lot better outside but still cried at night. The other morning at 05:30 it was crying. When I went out at 07:00 it was nowhere to be found. The neighbors said they would let me know if they see it but I have my doubts now that it will ever show back up. I'm going to leave my cat inside at night for at least a few nights and stop putting food out for the neighborhood cats. The cats around here are about half starved. The other night we had rain so it was late when I put food out. When I looked out there was a cat frantically looking for the dinner bowl. I'll check to see about buying a live trap big enough for a fox. Animals like my land as it has lots of water and vegetation compared to other property around here. Any suggestions? David Buy some TROLL deodorant. What the hell is that supposed to mean? you *SOB*- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It means that its difficult to believe that you are sincere about the safety of the animals in your care. Leaving a crying puppy outside all night is sadistic and the same with leaving your cat outside after you saw a fox trying to kill it. Please do not write to this list anymore. We dont like you. Grow up bitch, I don't like you either. Just go away, you idiot. If you REALLY have a cat, it's far,far better off serving as a meal for a fox, than enduring what you consider to be 'care'.

I know someone will tell me to keep her inside all the time but that would be like keeping her a prisoner and she likes to be outside in the fresh air and sunshine with her friends. I once believed it would be like keeping them in prison too. I lost two female cats that simply disappeared when I lived in the city. I lost both male kitties to the fox and coyotes out here in the country. What a horrible death for a cat. From now on all our cats will be indoor-only. There are plenty of things they can do indoors to keep them occupied. Just check out the cat toy and furniture section of any chain pet store. Thank you for a decent reply to my post. I have a small backyard and used stuff like Cat Fence In to build a fence that they can't get out of. Well, they could if they really wanted to climb a tree and jump over it but they don't want to leave that badly. |
