Had to take my cat to the vet. He’s not eating very well and is constantly sick. He’s got antibiotics to take, got an injection to stop him being sick and his blood test showed he has enzymes in his liver that they wouldn’t expect. They couldn’t feel any mass inside him but he’s quite thin.

I hope that he recovers soon :rose:.

:sob: My kitten is only four months old and he caught his first bird and took off under the house with it. How do I stop him from killing?

You can't and probably would only upset him if you tried. If he has a collar (not many cats do since microchipping) the bell would help but, like a cat I had many years ago, he might learn to remove it. According to a documentary I saw, domestic cats don't usually make a kill on birds more than once a week. They are natural hunters and without them, we'd be overrun by mice and other rodents. My cats take many more mice than birds and I try to view the occasional (and quite sad) bird kill as improving the birds overall chance of survival as they get better at avoiding cats.

You can’t. Hunting is a natural instinct.

Like Seamus mentioned, a bell on his collar would help deter his success.

Ugh, I do not like collars on cats. But I am going to have to. Darn, he is so fast and agile.
Thank you Storm :rose:

Don't like collars either. They can be dangerous for outdoor cats :cry:

My cat used to wear an elasticated collar until he had an accident with it 10 yrs ago.

He somehow managed to get his collar caught (on a tree branch I think) and in his panic to free himself he pulled the collar and got his front leg entangled in it. He was left with a nasty open wound on his armpit.

The vet advised not to put collars on cats as he said it was very common for cats to get serious injuries when wearing them.

He has never worn collars since.

Keep him inside .He'll live longer .No collar needed.

provide places to climb,things to scratch and plenty of playtime to bond.

If you have outdoor cats, I don't think you can keep them from hunting and stalking little animals. That's what they do.

Had a cat show up many years ago.
Half grown, half starved, and flea ridden
so bad, i could barely see the cat through
the fleas.

Got the issues taken care of, plus
a trip to the vet...

Cat lived for about 14 years.
In that cat's life, I never once saw
him hurt another animal.
He would catch them, and bring
them home as his pets.
