One of my cats learned how to kill birds and proceeded to attempt a neighborhood genocide. He went from not killing birds to killing one or two a day. We ordered some bell collars and his kill count went down to one every two days. We have more bells coming today, they are supposedly louder and ring easier than the ones we have. I took his collar off today to adjust the bells (he was able to hook their rings on his teeth). He bolted during the collar adjustment and came back 20 min later with a bird. If I can't get the bird kill rate down to something like one a year than he'll only be able to go outside at night. He's a hell of a cat. The vet just saw him and said something like "this is what a healthy cat should look like!" He's lean fit and smart. I've never had a smart cat before. Hope I can get a handle on his murderous behavior. I'm drinking Broken Top bourbon from Sisters Oregon, I think they have bourbon figured out at their price point.
There's actually a lot of compelling arguments to be made for keeping cats indoors. If you're curious to hear some of them, I'd be happy to share. If not, that's okay too. I don't want you to feel like I'm passing judgement on you, or worse, telling you how to conduct your own personal life. Cause I'm definitely not.
