Keep your cats indoors. They'll disagree with you, but eventually will resign to the all-indoor and not-killing-small-wildlife lifestyle.
Many #bird populations are on the decline. Every small bit of help we can give makes a difference. In most places #cats are not native to the region and have an unfair advantage.

@AskPippa cats have been in Europe longer than humans, so careful who you're calling invasive. 😅

@AskPippa I support your call Pippa. And to all animal activists: I am both a bird lover and a cat lover.

@AskPippa my neighbour used to walk his cat on leash everyday! Catios are another way to let kitties have outdoor time. Thoughts on bells?
