Sorry if you are a cat lover

You’d be surprised how many Pheasants and quail wild cats eat also..........

We had the cutest little black and white cat.  She was only a couple of months old when I spotted her "hunting" in the pasture below us.  I thought...."aw, what a cute picture the little thing is trying to hunt".

She leaps in the air and comes down on the back of a rooster pheasant.  He starts flapping his wings and fairly quickly gets airborne.  She's still on his back holding on at he takes off.  He flew about 10-15 feet and got up to four or five feet in elevation before she fell off.

She lived to 16.  Everybody that met her in the house commented on what a sweet and wonderful little cat she was. 

She was one tough cat.  Killed everything that moved.  We never had a problem with mice, but the death toll went far beyond mice.

I like cats more than dogs (its the whole hunter thing) but....thats AWESOME! Feel bad for the owner but its part of the game.

Cats tend to believe that they are higher of the food chain than they really are  Predator/prey. Good for the eagle

Our cats keep the mice population down and gives the dogs something to hump on.

I hate cats!  Although a few good barn cats I don't mind.  I get some bald eagles at my house this time of year, had one there yesterday.  When I had some chickens I would try to turn one loose and had my camera on the ready but couldn't make it happen

Seen it firsthand also,my cousin has an eagles nest near their house,around the base of the tree is all kinds of bones and kitty/small dog collars,a couple weiner dogs bit the big one to the eagles.Nest is 100 feet from their house.Eagles are pretty bold,they built the nest a few years ago,and could care less about all the race cars/dirt bikes/utvs that go on there.

When one of the trees holding an eagle nest blew down two years ago they had found 9 cat collars in it.

Send that eagle this way just about overrun with ferals
