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 |
