Cat killing
My cat keeps killing animals. Today it was a baby rabbit. How can I stop him from killing animals? (without making him an indoors cat, which is impossible because he'll go crazy.)

well you could put it on a leash. but other than that your out of options.

Get your cat a collar with a little bell on it (they sell them at most pet stores). The bell will warn the animals that danger is approaching, and hopefully they can get away in time. Be sure to get the kind of collar that will automatically snap open if it gets caught on something, so your cat won't get stuck on a branch or get strangled.

You cant really. Its in their nature and instinct to kill and hunt. Its sad and not a nice picture to see, but, its what they do. Although their cute and cuddly, theyre still animals and will have natural instincts that make them do what they do. Sometimes, if you have a bunny rabbit or something like that as a pet and you get your kitty and the kitty grows up with the bunny, then he wont give in to his instincts but will more look at the bunny as part of your family, but their instincts are that of a wild cat and you can never truly be sure. You cant stop loving your cat because of this because it comes naturally to them and they don't know any better. Its just part of nature. I know how you feel though because im such an animal lover (i have dogs and cats) that when my cat would catch something, even a mouse, my heart would break, or if a bunny came into our yard and my cat started to creep in hunting position, I would scream and run to let the poor bunny know that it wasnt safe, but in the end, you just have to accept that theyre going to give in to their instincts no matter what so just try to look the other way if you can (especially when he/she brings you presents at the door step for you (if you know what i mean:))
