Cats Love Murder
Is Fluffy the Cat a stone-cold serial killer?
They can do no wrong! They are our super cuddly bundle of joy. Their soft meows and therapeutic purring makes us so happy and content. But what if your precious cat turns out to be a stone-cold serial killer when she/he is outside?
According to a new study published by The Journal Nature Communication, domestic cats slaughter billions of birds and small mammals in the US each year. That little ball of fur that we love so much is a natural born killer. Hard to imagine right? But yes, fluffy has a secret life outdoors. They are the “Dexter” of fluffy kingdom.
There is a huge price that we are paying for every single day that we let our cats outside and it can have a huge negative impact in our environment in the long run. The only way to prevent them from killing other animals is to keep them entertained indoors.
Most pet owners are worried about keeping their cats happy when kept indoors. While hunting prey outside is fun, it is a myth that it is a requirement for your feline’s happiness. By providing a screened porch for your cat to hang out and observe the little critters passing by, you are giving your cat an outdoor experience without the risk. You can also provide your cat several cat furnitures and toys to keep them entertained indoors. You can also try training your cat to walk on a leash. It will take time and patience but walking your cat can be a rewarding experience.
