I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss....simply heartbreaking. :hugs:hit Does this cat appear to belong to anyone? If so, and provided you're able to locate who, what are the possibilities of suggesting politely they keep their kitty confined due to the danger they pose to your birds? Perhaps...
Very interesting to compare experiences. What I don't understand is how the average feline could take out a full grown chicken of similar size (not that I don't believe some accounts, it just doesn't make sense to someone who's had cats all her life). I've only known them to kill songbirds...
