Your daily cat and kitten news

[donkyboy]

Picked this little bird from the garden. must have dropped from a nest somewhere. Akiro was jumping on it and putting it in its mouth, flinging the poor thing all over the place.
Anyone know what I should do with it? Luckily my girls aren't aggressive or harsh. Just are just intrigued by it.

 

[Epona]

Put it back outside up out of reach of the cats but close to where you found it if possible, and keep the cats well away from it.
If it's not fully independent yet a parent will stop by to feed it as long as they can see/hear where it is.

Unfortunately as it has been in a cat's mouth it may die anyway, due to having no immunity to the natural bacterial flora in cat saliva, but the above is the best chance you can give it.

Lil’ Bob has brought in a few young birds that we’ve managed to put outside (unlike his brother, he observes rather than kills) . All have flown off so hopefully redeemed.

Is there something delicious hiding under this plant pot? Donut certainly thinks so.

Did the little finch survive?

That second photo is fantastic with the intense looks your two cats are giving the little bird

I didn’t realise a cat’s natural prey was the onion

My vet surgery will take in birds. Probably too late to let you know about this one but for next time could be worth trying yours?

Best off (unless something needs urgent vet treatment) calling a wildlife sanctuary, it's technically illegal to pick up and bring indoors or otherwise interfere with protected wildlife species, which most wild native birds are, unless you have a licence.

Ime a bird that has been caught by a cat usually needs urgent vet treatment!

What I mean is one can't legally attempt to rehabilitate wildlife oneself in ones own home, without being licenced to do so.
For good reason.

I had one experience of this, so: keep the cats away, eventually the bird will recoup itself, keep the windows open and it will fly off when ready.

The vet reckoned about 2 years ago that he had arthritis btw (he didn't have arthritis, he'd just pulled a muscle but vets go old cat who struggles to jump = arthritis, but it cleared up ok and was only temporary).

(Reason for edit - people, check your photos that you post up to make sure your cat isn't laying on your fully visible court payment arrangement details because you were late paying the council tax, I don't mind people knowing that I ballsed up my bills this year, I'm well past being embarrassed by that - but personal details were on there, oops!)

It's been way too long since we were last treated to photos of His Royal Redness!

This is Ken, once again very vocally annoyed with me about the heat



He always lies with one paw out and one under. He varies the paw but never the arrangenent.

 

[May Kasahara]

I haven't seen much of mine since breakfast, expect they have gone to ground under a bush somewhere. Feel very sorry for Donut. It's not fluffy black cat weather is it?
