How can I stop my cat being a killer?..

There's not really much you can do as that's just what cats do!

However, for a starter I'd put a bell on her collar and keep her in at night. It's safer for cats not to wander at night anyway as that's when most get run over.

Saying that, we have two with bells and kept in at night, and still we get presents of birds, mice, lizards (!), frogs etc. It's got better since moving house and we now don't have a catflap - so at least they can't get in without one of us opening the door. Hence we get to choose what else comes in too! Also, for a couple of weeks in early spring (i.e. now) when the baby birds are fledging, I do tend to restrict them a bit in terms of how much they're out in the day. Mainly because I got really fed up with trips to the local wildlife hospital with slightly sucked baby robins (ours are hunters, but not killers....)

WEES - basically you can't.

But you should put a bell on her collar, which will help. And definitely keep her in at night - most cats who have accidents do so at night.

Chris Packham (who is a total knobber but does know his stuff....) was on the telly the other day saying keeping mog in at night and fitting with a collar with a sounder would reduce bird deaths by 80%.

I expect its a bit trial and error finding the right collar. What about this https://www.petplanet.co.uk/shop_store/Liberator_Cat_Collar_p1252.html

endorsed by Rolf Harries so clearly a high calibre product......

Thanks all, looks like a trip to the pet shop for me tonight! She spent most of the night keeping me awake by headbanging the cat flap anyway!!

Like the look of the liberator collar apart from the fact it doesn't stop rodent killings! Just opened the door for them both and they have refused to go out because it is raining!

Thanks again
