A funny story; I don't allow my cats outdoors at all, but I have a huge enclosed patio that they think is "outdoors.

In any event, I truly can't stop my cats from doing this, IF a bird makes it's way into our patio, but you can probably curtail their activity, by either keeping them indoors at night, OR making them some sort of secure enclosure on your house, so that they can not obtain their prey. http://www.cat-world.com.au/cat-worldenclosures.htm "David Wright" wrote in message ... Hello, Just wondered if anyone could share some advice on how to stop our two cats bringing home little "gifts" for us during the night. Both cats (1 male, 1 female) are just under 2 years old. They have never brought anything back before, but since our first baby was born and became the centre of attention 14 weeks ago, we have had 4 mice, one bird and two frogs. And, because they have a cat-flap door, we find the presents - normally dead but sometimes alive - in the living room when we get up in the morning. The bird was the worst - feathers everywhere! With the baby about to start crawling, we want to nip this in the bud to avoid infections etc - we are trying to lavish attention on the cats again, so they don't feel so left out, but this morning (2am!) - a whole lot of noise, and another frog. Still alive, and quickly back in the neighbours pond. And me disinfecting the carpet whilst half asleep, not that enjoyable really! We don't want to lock them in the kitchen at night (where their door is), or lock them outside, but we might have to... Thanks, David. ps. Please excuse the cross-posting, there are just too many great cat newsgroups!! |

When one encounters this kind of crossposting, set the newsgroup line back to the original groups. This was originally crossposted to alt.cats,alt.pets.cats,rec.pets.cats.misc. Crossposting is the correct way to get a message to more than one group, provided all the groups are on topic. When a user multiposts the same message to more than one cat group, the discussion is fragmented over a number of groups. In addition users who read more than one feline group are VERY annoyed to see the same post occurring over and over in the groups they read. A crossposted article occurs only one time on the server. Newsreaders can be set to show a crossposted message only once in the first group you read. It helps if the original poster sets followups to only one group. BarB |
