Bird Feathers in the shower

Anyone wake up in the morning or come home to bird feathers in the shower,
or worse yet bird beaks, legs, feathers and guts on the carpet? Our cats
are the best fed cats in Oklahoma, but they still love to have a good ole'
bird murder weekly. We sometimes catch them and pry the bird out of their
teeth long enough to set them free, but they usually bring them in thru the
cat door during the day while we're at work. Our neighbor finally stopped
feeding the birds next door and the problem has lessened. I guess female
cardinals are either slow or easy to see, cause they appear more often than
everything else. We have also jumped up on the couch and went for the
extended reacher when Mr. Lisbon brings a live bat in the house. That only
happens on Halloween and various other evenings.

Yep, I agree Sherry. Untill we moved to town, I never saw one of our farm
cats catch a cardinal. Like I say though, the problem has lessened since
the neighbor stopped feeding the birds in our back yard.

Oh, no! Not cardinals! You need to have a serious talk with those cats.
:-)
Seriously, my cardinals are so shy. I don't think they'd be very easy at
all to
catch. Your cardinals are either much tamer than ours, or your cats are
excellent hunters.

Anyone wake up in the morning or come home to bird feathers in the shower,
or worse yet bird beaks, legs, feathers and guts on the carpet?

Doesn't everyone???

On a slightly more serious note, my three rarely go for birds, small rodents
being the favoured prey.

My least favorite is live baby birds served as breakfast in bed. When I'm
still sound asleep. Current cat has a "soft mouth". Likes to catch but
seldom injures of kills anything. Which makes them really hard to catch and
release once they are inside and loose.

One of the 6 and a bird took down a shadow box full of Harmony Kingdom
Treasure Jests. Each of the 10 chests worth $45 PLUS were chipped or
broken.
I guess it was our fault for not having it cat proof.
