Hey :),
My cat Oskar is an outdoor cat, and lately he's been bringing a bird home from his walk several times a week and then eating it right outside our front door. My parents are always upset about it, saying it's bad because of biodiversity or something.
Now I'm wondering: Is it really that bad if he keeps catching birds? And is there any way to prevent it?

Loading...Hey, My dwarf rabbit is now 2 years old and she has had rabbit flu for about a year. We took all of her rabbits to the vet right from the start and they were all vaccinated against it. It went away for the others, but she still has it. We've given her all sorts…
We found this bird on the sidewalk in front of our house. I was able to give it some water, and now it's asleep. After a phone call to the NABU (Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union), I was advised to keep it overnight.
I'll be looking at a 5-year-old pony soon, and I have pictures and videos. You can clearly see that the pony has hollows above its eyes, and I've heard that this is a sign of age or stress. What do you think? Do you think the horse is older?
In my opinion, this borders on a disease, but it's creative and also incredibly stupid. Why do women pose naked for magazines with tigers, leopards, or something like that? The leopard is already sitting on the model, and the hand is almost in a strange place. I know that women subconsciously find these animals sexy,…
Hey, I have budgies since today… But somehow they only stay in one spot… And don't drink
In Germany, quite a lot of domestic cats live. This can have a drastic influence:

No.
Neither a bell (potentially dangerous for Miez), nor a lock-in is a real option.
From the same link:
That’s nature. Eat and eat. Unfortunately, you can’t prevent this. I’m always sorry if my cat catches birds. But that’s her natural hunting behavior. Some move or something like that doesn’t succeed. Cat won’t let that go.
Love greetings
no this is not nature, because more and more cats live in private hands and are made to walkers. Certainly, they are prey hunters, despite all that they are not responsible.
For this, there are no more wildcats in Germany that were present everywhere.
Cats are predators. Your parents should know that.
They should also know that a cat can’t get used to hunting.
With regard to the danger of species caused by your oskar, I see little problems. He gets sperms, throttling, possibly one or other redheads. They’re all not endangered species.
It’s bad for the birds, yeah. A captive fence around your garden and freewheel only in this enclosure can prevent your cat from getting wild everywhere.
If you let him out despite the nesting time, of course you can’t prevent him from catching and killing birds. Several in the week are a lot. If several birds are maybe four and you can count on 30 cats in the neighborhood, these are already 120 dead birds a week. A not inconsiderable number.
This is no longer bad, even though some say otherwise.
In the human settlement areas, where cats are released, the bird population even increases, whereas in agricultural areas, DA decreases.
Exception: You live on the edge of a bird reserve.
ups… should actually go to someone else…
?
I wrote a text, but I clicked. Therefore edited quickly.
The one cat doing as an individual is not bad. That the millions of cats that would not occur in population density without human help is a problem for biodiversity.

People kill more birds than cats will ever do it… Your parents are people, aren’t they?
No, no, no, all right. This is their nature. My cat is often at home but catches a lot more birds than 1 times a week

This is in no circumstances natural!!
Read more: This is their Nature
and that is it: it is in the nature of cats to hunt.
Hello,
well, it’s not good. But if your cat catches birds or doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. Other influences are much more important for biodiversity.
This is the natural hunting drive of cats, which is completely normal. You can do little to nothing about it.

Ridiculous. Cats are predators and their prey are also birds. In the last few million years, cats had no opportunity to eradicate birds – man already and for that he only needed a few centuries.
