Thankyou everyone for your kind words.
Reading back on the thread I missed a lot of posts…I feel like I should be saying something however, as a lot of you are saying “That cats gotta go!”
Well no. He doesn’t. So maybe hes not one to snuggle with chicks, I don’t expect him to, he hunts birds, its what he does.
I have a young Pitbull puppy who has the most terrific energy bursts to the point shes running around jumping on people, she can play very aggressively, gets to the point where shes chasing chickens over the fence, almost killed one of my ducks in that energy burst and one rooster.
Some people, or a lot of people would say “Shes dangerous, put her down or rehome her!”
But im not going to do either, shes not dangerous, and the breed doesn’t matter but Pitbull’s do tend to have prey drives.
She came from hunting parents.
Im working with her, and slowly by slowly shes improving. Shes doesn’t know better, she was taken from her mum at 4 weeks of age, her actions are my responsibility.
That’s the same for this cat. His actions were my responsibility, it was MY fault he got the chicks, no matter how hard I kick myself about it…It was a open brooder, 2 chicks just sitting there…what does he know? Really I mean he didn’t see me cuddling those chicks for a start.
That cat is a good cat minus the bird prey drives..im not rehoming him, or putting him down, or shooting him.
I can work with him, he hasn’t been taught. And whilst many people have cats who know not to mess with pet birds, he doesn’t. It all depends on the cats background...some just love chicks, some just want to eat them,.
I just need to get the other brooder with a lid.
I don’t know..i just hate how people say he needs to go when the actual problem is me..it wasn’t the cats fault.
Don’t take this the wrong way..please..
Thanks,
