I have a lovely, active 6 year old moggy who has proudly brought home a shrew every night this week.
He has obviously found a convenient nest in our new home (10th month here). He used to do this occasionally but he has recently been very dedicated.
I really want to stop him as I think he is linking it to my behaviour. I usually put him out of the door with the mouse but one night he bit off a head and left the body on the floor, I threw him out and cleaned up the mouse. This was the start of the nightly event! Did I somehow tell him I accepted the act by taking the mouse this time? How can I undo it or tell him I don't need any more thank you very much?
Keeping him in is not an option he enjoys his evenings out and it would not be fair to limit his freedom.
Help please!
