Cat observes three pigeons in a National Bird Day picture

PoC avatarPosted on January 8, 2021 by Michael BroadJanuary 8, 2021

This picture is three days late because National Bird Day in America takes place on 5th January annually. I think it’s quite an apt picture and it is a good photograph. I also believe that the birds are not pigeons … Continue reading →

Rooster play-fights with domestic cat

PoC avatarPosted on December 8, 2020 by Michael BroadDecember 8, 2020

This is a strange video. It is not obvious that the rooster and cat are play-fighting. Some observers might think that they are actually fighting to the death but I’m convinced that they are not. You can see the cat’s … Continue reading →

Birdfeeder placement to help avoid attack by cats

PoC avatarPosted on December 4, 2020 by Michael BroadDecember 4, 2020

I can think of two instances (but there are many more) of exposing, through good intentions, birds to predation by cats which, to me, highlights the need to be at least aware of the potential dangers. Although I’m a cat … Continue reading →

Donald Trump brings cats into the presidential election campaign

PoC avatarPosted on October 24, 2020 by Michael BroadOctober 24, 2020

Inadvertently and in typical Donald Trump style, he has brought domestic cats into the presidential election campaign. He doesn’t like wind power. He doesn’t like wind turbines for various reasons one of which is that the energy produced by wind … Continue reading →

Bird attacks domestic cat. Cat makes mighty leap in retaliation.

PoC avatarPosted on October 16, 2020 by Michael BroadOctober 16, 2020

Flying kitty from r/gifs My impression is that this bird is a magpie and she is defending her young. I’m not an ornithologist so I am assessing what’s happened as a layperson. The cat, which looks like a dilute ginger … Continue reading →

Veterinarians involved in TNR under attack within their own profession?

PoC avatarPosted on July 27, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 27, 2020

Dr John Bradshaw in his book Cat Sense writes that some veterinary surgeons who are involved in managing the welfare of feral cats by neutering and vaccinating them and then returning them to their original territory (under TNR programmes), have … Continue reading →

Crowned eagles attack cats and dogs in South Africa

PoC avatarPosted on April 24, 2020 by Michael BroadApril 24, 2020

Some of the nests of the crowned eagle in Durban, South Africa, date back to the 1960s. People have moved into their territories in new settlements, which is one reason why this large bird of prey, a powerful hunter, is … Continue reading →

Birds can use cat fur to build nests

PoC avatarPosted on March 5, 2020 by Michael BroadMarch 5, 2020

It’s the bird nest building season (Feb-Aug) and I have just learned that domestic cats can contribute to the welfare of birds which is nice to know considering that ornithologists are annoyed about cats attacking and killing birds. A lady … Continue reading →

Museum display of stuffed tabby cat next to line of 34 stuffed birds is objectionable

PoC avatarPosted on January 23, 2020 by Michael BroadJanuary 23, 2020

I believe that this display is in a Dutch museum: the Natural History Museum Rotterdam. It is unpleasant. It also over-simplifies the issues of domestic cat predation and as a result misleads. All-in-all not a clever display. The creators of … Continue reading →
