We had another cat prior to the current one, also from the RSPCA, and even though she was both an indoor and outdoor cat, she was no killer. I think she had been taken from her mother too early and had not learned to hunt. She was friends with all the local wildlife-even a goanna! They used to lie next to each other in the sun. The blue tongues living in the front garden used to sit next to her on the front lawn, and if we went near them, they would move closer to her for protection-I suppose they didn't have to worry about kookaburras while sitting next to a cat! She never even looked at birds, except cockatoos-she was afraid of them! |
It's funny you say that. All the cats inside here are TERRIFIED of the birds. Bitey beaks hurt! Not worth the risk when they're well fed! Risk -v- reward in action as ecologists would say.
