Ed (the cat) Won't Stop Hunting !!! Help...

Hi,

[Hope this isn't a repeat question...if so pls help me find the original
posting]

We have a beautiful, smart, friendly, large, companion cat named Ed. We also
have two Cairn Terriers. All three get along fabulously...play together, take
walks together, etc...
Here's the problem; I installed a 'doggy door' about a year ago for all of them
to use, and they do. It's made our life so much simpler not having to open and
close the door all day long. For about the last 4 months Ed has started
bringing 'fresh kill' into the house to share with the Cairns? Or to just show
off? But it's gotten out of hand and it's stomach turning to pick up these,
birds, mice, squirrels and other unidentifiable things. Most are dead but some
are still barely alive. I think you can understand how utterly disturbing, on
so many levels, this is to us.

Things We've Already Tried:
1. Putting a bell around Ed's neck. Result: within 2 days he's managed to get
out of the collar and ditch the bell along with it.
2. Closing the dog door. Result: three very bored and ****ed off animals who
sit in front of their 'former access to the outdoors' and whine.
3. Cry. Result: puffy eyes
4. Consider the unconsiderable....giving Ed away. Result: Just can't go
there....

Facts about Ed's Neighborhood:
- Residential
- I've never seen a deer or anything wilder than a heron in two years.
- We live in Northern Virginia

PLEASE --- Any advice or experience will be GREATLY appreciated. I just can't
take it anymore....

Thank you....Lisa
