OK, Spencer and Luv, I'm going to take the opposite view - come on flames! Of course, cats will do what comes naturally, but luring prey to their waiting claws and jaws is something else altogether, in my humble opinion. Spencer, I'm glad you've taken steps - all those pictures of dead birds really bothered me. No, you can't stop cats from being predatroy carnivores, but, like I said....I feed birds but my cats have never expressed an interest in them; besides, it's too difficult for them to reach the birds. They're much more interested in the cottonwood leaves blowing around.
