I have found myself in quite a pickle with a cat who lives near me. Hes a friendly black and white tom who is apparently unwanted by his owners. they have 'kicked him out' of the house and don't feed him so he has to fend for himself poor baby Some people make me sick!!!
The problem is that he's started to try to fend for himself by eating the neighborhood pets! :? I have caught him in the garden a number of times watching my rabbits and the last time I saw him my buns ware free ranging and he chased my boy Mork around the garden!!!! :shock: :shock: I often sit by the french windows and work on the laptop whilst they're free ranging and I look up to see the cat bounding after my baby! Luckily Mork could easily out run him and I chased him away but it scared me so much.
Unfortunately, the neighbors keep two ducks down the road who free range around the garden. Mr. Cat found them and attacked them. The kids down the road chased the cat away and alerted me to the male duck who had been badly bitten. The other duck is nowhere to be seen, now presumed dead.
The ducks owners were out so i took the gorgeous duck to the vets but he has a badly punctured lung + possible paralysis (couldn't use back legs) and the vet said he had no chance of survival. He was put on oxygen and pain killers until the owners got back form work to make the decision for him to be euthanased
So... i really don't know what to do about this. Primarily I want to make sure my rabbits are safe. Mr Cat is obviously desparate for food and is hunting to stay alive. I am so worried that he may keep being persistant and eventually hurt one of them. I always keep an eye on my buns but I'm so worried that if one of them pops around the corner or behind a fence/bush out of sight Mr Cat will be waiting.
I'm also worried about Mr Cat. he's been basically abandoned and has nowhere to sleep and no food to eat. I'm going to get the cats owners address off the teenager who knows where he lives as she said he's been trying to 'get rid of it' and would appreciate someone who wanted to 'buy' him. Maybe I can offer him a tenner or something and find Mr Cat a nice home where he'll get food and also not be a risk to my bunnies or any of the other pets nearby.
Has anyone got any ideas???
