Ban on cats in NZ

[Valkie]

Most cats I know are so well fed that they wouldn't harm a fly.

That's a common misconception. A well fed cat can actually kill more animals than a starving one, especially in new world locations where the native animals are not as well adapted. People see a cat sleeping all day and think it is lazy, but that is what cats do.

I know many domestic cats that are scared of birds like crows & magpies.
I saw a cat running for it's life the other day after being attacked by a spur winger plover bird.

Hell, I run from plover too.

Damn fool birds

Yes - I've been attacked by them.
They are nasty and stupid.
They build a nest right next to a walking path or in the middle of your lawn.
Then they attack anything that goes within 10 meters of their nest.
One sits on the nest and squawks at you while the other flies around attacking everything.
If they were sensible they'd build a nest in a tree or somewhere quiet.

We have a mating pair that set up on a roundabout every year.
They even put up with the council mowing around them, to a point.

Probably quite a safe spot really

But, our area was once bushland
And the poor birds always go back to the same place
10 years ago the roundabout was bush

Sort of like abbos
Can't move with the times.
And think time will stand still because they say it should.

You have to feel sorry for them - poor silly birds.
