Feline disgust
It is estimated that 50 million birds and small mammals are massacred by cats every year.
I have a pair of wrens nesting in a tree and they have now hatched their young.
Wrens are not plentiful so every one counts.

Cats no longer kill for food but for fun – ever seen one with a field mouse? That cats foul people’s gardens is trivial alongside this horrific slaughter.
A friend has a neighbour with eight cats, so relationships are strained to say the least.
If cat owners are really nature lovers then they should put a bell on their cat to warn the birds of their pet’s stealthy approach.
