What Will This Summer Bring?
Last summer was a parade of my cats bringing home dead animals. Birds, mice, shews, rats, anything they can catch. Hell last year the cat brought in a live bird that went to wing in the room and shit on my fking deskGreybeard is already out on the prowl so any day it will start

Back here in Sydney I occasionally come across the guts of a poor eviscerated possum, just as Orz mentioned. Nothing cute about cats.
Just rescued a Turkish angora cat who was abandoned for years and lived under a shed. Her only way of survival was living off whatever she caught so she became a prolific hunter. I'm told she became pregnant and raised a family too. She's 15 now and an indoor cat but still hates being handled and is still very nervous of humans.
After 3 months Lily is playing with toys and walks around in front of me but darts for safety if I move. It's a built in instinct for cats to be predators and yes they do cause some damage to the environment but they too are prey out in the wild. It's called nature for a reason.
The first image is Lily when rescued and the second is now. Such a difference.

What animals 'prey' on cats in the UK?
I prefer birds to cats so 20 years ago I planted various flowering, berry bushes and a couple of fruit bushes in my gardens front and back. They are home to blackbirds, mistle trushes, finches, robins, wrens, wood pigeons and more that I can't identify. I have cordoned off the back garden as best I could but sometimes cats still get in, the front is open. The cats are all domestic pets which get well fed at home so hunting birds is just sport for them, and apparently entertainment for their owners, but that’s life, who's to judge, I'm just letting you know some information that you may choose to take on board.
I hope all is well with you there.
I like cats but I can't have them around, have some sort of allergies.
