I may think you hate or dislike cats because that is practically what you've said. You've also now decided it's ferrals you have a problem with not domestics. You are aiming your title and argument at completely the wrong people.
As I said, responsible = spayed/neutered, micro chipped, de-flead, wormed and vaccinated.
If all owners were responsible then the ferals you talk about probably wouldn't exist, but at the same time, once a few cats go missing/ferral and breed that's it. It could only take one mistake or accident and if they have a food source then they'll happily grow in numbers as they're perfectly capable of living without humans support.
You don't deserve any sort of prize of commendation for not going to see your next door neighbour about what their cat did. You should've, and if the cat still tried to come into your garden and got attacked then fine... that cat will now have learnt it's lesson.
Do I want my cat to get attacked by something? No. Do I blame the animal/animal owner if the cat started it? No. Am I going to stress out my cat if it clearly doesn't like being kept in doors? No.
Am I always going to pick up the vets bill? Yes.
And for the record my cats don't often kill or bring anything in, or make any attempt to hunt. They're always well fed and even though they spend alot of time in the house (80%) they literally go beserk if you try to keep them in. Different cats have different personalities. Perhaps you got particularly unlucky with your neighbours cat, but like I said, unless you say something then it's tough. Cause until you can live in the middle of a barren wasteland you have to put up with neighbours.
By the way...
I won't just sit there and grab a popcorn to see a cat eating my pets
When did I even slightly imply you should. I said it's a two way street, if you came round to my house telling me my cat had done something I said I'd pay the fees then expect you to either improve the enclosure of the animals or drive off the cat in some way.
Although I don't agree with people attacking cats (I know far too many people happy to throw rocks and really go all out to damage the cat), I don't see what's wrong with getting a cat-hostile pet... or something that will at the least defend itself... That is nature. The cat will very quickly learn it's lesson.
As I said last post. We didn't ALL mistake your point. You just didn't make your point very well.
You now seem to be only refering to UAE where this seems to be a significant problem in your area?
You seem to be focusing on ferral cats although your post is aimed at cat owners?
From what you're saying now it seems your post should have been... 'Calling all cat keepers in the UAE'
'Please neuter and spay all your cats because.....' and 'Please consider keeping them as house cats because....'
the reason why is simple. The trees won't help nestlings that had been targeted a cat, and wings are nothing comparing to cat a silent stalking and muscled legs.
