Cats Kill Birds

Cats Kill Birds
It is estimated cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year in the U.S.� If you love your cat and you love your backyard birds, Cats Kill Birds - Keep 'em inside!

then don't mix the two.� Keep your cats indoors.� They will live longer, healthier lives and so will the birds!�

Putting bells on your cat or de-clawing them can help but won't solve the problem.

Make sure to install feeders where cats don't have easy access to them. Because even if you keep your cats inside, there's always the neighbors & other strays looking to play predator-prey.

And don't be afraid to gently recommend the same to your neighbors.� Most people are just not aware of the problem.�We highly recommend visiting The American Bird Conservancy page about the Cats Indoors! Campaign to increase awareness of the problem.

Outdoor cats commonly have a life expectancy of fewer than 5 years, while indoor cats is up to 17 years.

Your outdoor cat is more susceptible to life-threatening diseases from other cats and animals, ticks and other parasites. They can become lost or get hit by a car (over 1 million cats are killed by autos annually), become injured in fights or poisoned.

Indoor cats don't have this kind of stress on their health. Indoor cats can be happier, healthier and longer-lived which should make cat-owners happier too! Just remember to give your indoor cat plenty of exercise with toys. We play "chase- the-string" everyday...that's good for both of us!
