Morning coffee
"The Raven @icnet.net" the_ravennospam wrote in message ... I need to borrow your cat. Does he attack moles? I have moles, and my cat's can't seem to take care of them. I'm tempted to fire my cats unless I see proof they're on the job. My three take care of moles. Just not often enough... Cheers, helen s |

Morning coffee
EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque) wrote: I hope the bells are more effective for you than they were for me. One cat, especially, used to leave an offering of a robin on our front mat every morning. Belling worked for about two days, then he learned to move so smoothly he didn't disturb the bell until he pounced (by which time it was too late). This was a bell on a ribbon (which swayed more than one attached to a collar), but even so.... Your kitty seems to support the school of thought that bells are ineffective...I've read that a belled cat only learns to be a more stealthy hunter. Said they actually learn to tuck their chins to quiet the bell! By the time the bell makes a sound, it's at the last pounce, and too late for the prey. The constant tinkling so close to their ears was allegedly a source of behavioral changes. Of course, like anything else, you can take it with a grain of salt, but it seemed to make sense to me. My crew are obviously such inept hunters that even when they ran loose, they never killed a bird to my knowledge. Sherry Sherry |
