Dear Outdoor Cat Owners/Feral Cat Supporters, Does the photo above sicken you? I’m allergic to cats, but in my lifetime I’ve rescued five of them. The last one, who took up residence under my house on a frigid January afternoon, is now a friend’s happy, healthy indoor cat. Is it the fault of the cats?
It was playing with a cat toy and managed to get a string wrapped around its foot, and when I went to untangle him he went into crazy attack mode and bit my wrist. Eventually they cleaned out the capsule and released me, but I kept having reactions to the antibiotics and I wasn’t cleared of the infection for over a month.
On one of my two trips to Haroni we were driving along the road when we came across a Serval, a medium-sized and beautifully marked cat. We stopped, wound down the window and started making squeaking sounds by rubbing our fingers over our teeth. The cat brazenly approached our vehicle to within 6 feet of us hoping for an easy meal.

Cats Are Still Public Enemy Number One, For Birds The New York Times and Tweety have it absolutely correct.
Long before CAT scans, X-rays, blood samples and colonoscopies, physicians used the good sense they were born with: their sense of smell. A foul-smelling wound might spell an infection. That’s because bacterias, cancers and infections create unique smells. Sweet, fruity breath could mean diabetes. Liver disease? Fishy-smelling breath.
Legislation forbidding cruelty to animals represents the use of coercion against the interests of the individual coerced, and not to further the interests of any other person (it may do so but need not to be justified).
This little guy appeared weak and the wound on its head is very apparent. A young bird, yet to reach flight, is extremely vulnerable to pet cats and dogs. The heart in me wanted to take him in and get him up to strength. What to do? During this season, a lot of little birds will be falling from the trees.
As anyone who follows this blog knows, outdoor cats are a veritable holocaust for wild birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and even insects. Almost every single outdoor pet cat, feral cat, or stray kills other animals , no matter how well fed the cat is through other sources.
Years ago, I became a wildlife volunteer and advocate because of a cat who caught a bird. Now, he lay frightened and ruffled in my hands, his tail tattered, his feathers damp from the maw of a cat named Puck. Back then, I didn’t know enough about birds, but I knew a lot about cats. I scrambled for a box.
Bird brought in by a cat or dog. Even if you do not see an obvious wound, cat or dog saliva, which is full of nasty bacteria, can still get into a bird’s eyes/orifices and will eventually kill the bird; it will just die more slowly and painfully. Suspect” dog or cat interactions. *A hummingbird found on the ground.
We waited with baited breath wondering what would emerge from the obstructing grass and after 3 minutes or so, a very proud young Leopard appeared with a massive and freshly dead African Wild Cat in her jaws. The Wild Cat was such a large individual that the Leopard actually struggled to walk normally whilst dragging it along.
Being homeless, at first, this cat became one of the top-figures in press, both newspapers and TVs: even Oprah Winfrey has talked about her in own talk-show! One could only imagine how much pain the cat experienced while getting over the fire! The cat was sent to the intensive care immediately and placed in an oxygen chamber.
