Magpie harasses a ginger tabby cat to protect her offspring during nesting season

Why do magpies harass cats and do they retaliate?

PoC avatarPosted on October 20, 2021 by Michael BroadMay 30, 2022

Why do magpies harass cats? And why don’t the harassed cats retaliate by attacking the magpies (sometimes they do – see video below)? I am seeing videos of magpies, sometimes a single magpie or a couple, attacking a passive, sleepy … continue reading…

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…

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…
