For years I refused to feed them thinking it unfair to encourage them into the garden and put them at risk with the cats. They still came and fed themselves on the snails, worms and bugs, the house sparrows stole from the guinea pig hutches and one winter I gave in and started feeding them. Very occasionally one of the cats gets a bird but it is quite a rare occurance. I also have to say that the cats of the neighbourhood also frequent our garden, using the ponds as watering holes and all in all everyone seems to cope quite nicely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288445507197749783.post-23460340937142153972007-10-20T21:31:00.000+01:002007-10-20T21:31:00.000+01:00It is a quandary!

I tend to shoo them away verbally but have seen neighbours cats making off with birds and frogs and one of my exquisite 8 inch goldfish. I hope the victims were consumed and enjoyed.Threadspiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06780634324037593398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288445507197749783.post-48146838538507541522007-10-20T14:52:00.000+01:002007-10-20T14:52:00.000+01:00Hi Louise,My cats will eat the birds that they cat...Hi Louise,<BR/>My cats will eat the birds that they catch and then play with mice.
