Bald eagle ends mystery of South Hill missing cat

PREDATORS — Notice to the owner of the black cat missing on the South Hill:  We may have solved the mystery..

Says Facebook friend Dan Barth, who posted this photo:


If you are missing your black cat… this friendly neighborhood bald eagle has relocated it….

Loose-running cats kill millions of song-birds each year. 

Perhaps this is the big bird's symbolic way of trying to even the score.

To bad for the pet owner, but glad the eagle is getting a good meal.

You’d be surprised how many Pheasants and quail wild cats eat also, especially right after the hatch.  I do my part to help the birds out when the opportunity presents itself.  Also, never pass up a chance to kill Skunks, they raise hell on the nesting birds and their Eggs.

Main reason I stopped shooting coyotes around the neighborhood.....they started killing the neighbor's cats.  Seems like a good trade.  Now I only really shoot forest yotes.

I've relocated many Feral Cats to an area where there are lots of coyotes.  None have ever come back!  I think someone is dumping cats in my area.  One year I trapped 18-20 cats, and nobody said they lost their cat...  :sry:  :tup:

I have a T-shirt with the PETA saying on the front, (People Eating Tasty Animals)  And on the back of the shirt it says "I like cats, I just can't eat a whole one by myself!"

A buddy gave me a button that I wear on my cap that says: I LOVE CATS  (dead ones)  :chuckle:  :chuckle:

I am pretty sure I have been fed cat. When I get what they call chicken at the oriental restaurant and the bone doesn't look like any I've ever seen in a chicken it makes me wonder. Oh well if it tastes good pass me another please.

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

I loved ALF!  The guy I worked with had a cat, so he hated ALF.  So I told him all the dead cat jokes I could find!  :chuckle:

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.

 :yeah:

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

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

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.   :chuckle:
