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 →

Why domestic cats still hunt when they aren’t hungry

PoC avatarPosted on August 12, 2020 by Michael BroadAugust 12, 2020

It might be fair to say that some cat owners think that their domestic cat is occasionally mean and nasty because they feed their cat well but they still hunt when allowed outside. They still bring in mice and birds, … Continue reading →

Do domestic cats prefer mice or birds?

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 →

How can I stop my cat hunting wildlife?

PoC avatarPosted on October 31, 2019 by Michael BroadOctober 31, 2019

Video of feral cat eating albatross

PoC avatarPosted on October 17, 2019 by Michael BroadOctober 17, 2019

Right away we have to say that there is no evidence that this black feral cat killed the Shy Albatross chick. What annoys me slightly is that the video has been published on a bird website (birdguides.com) with, it seems … Continue reading →

Bird loss USA: criticise humans not cats. It is time for a reality check.

PoC avatarPosted on September 21, 2019 by Michael BroadSeptember 21, 2019

I for one have been fighting this battle for more than a decade. The sharp decline in bird species populations is mainly due to human behaviour. Yes, there are other factors, one of which is predation by outdoor cats but…it … Continue reading →
