ITG 🇮🇸 Jan 2022 2:55pm, 8 Jan 2022 14,255 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 She is a big jobby. I have told her so. Not always using the Scots word either. She continues to show no genuine remorse and only smuggery. Trying to hard to stay mad at her but I've no idea how to teach her that I don't approve. Probably impossible. Hence grounding.

But this week decided to make quite a noise with the lid. (I previous meetings she has stood in full view of the camera and vomited 🤦‍♂️)

Mostly killer will take them outside now and the once a day tends to be only for limited periods. Prim continues to kill maybe twice a year, which was how our old cat was, but if they’re good at it, I think the only route is to make them house cats
ITG 🇮🇸 Jan 2022 3:14pm, 8 Jan 2022 14,256 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 Twice a year is reasonable but Peggý is a machine. 😔 I have grudging respect for her but it can't go on.
Serendippily Jan 2022 3:19pm, 8 Jan 2022 25,050 posts	0 Serendippily In my experience it really can. When every night was multiple episodes we locked her out or locked her in. We even tried over feeding her, which made her a more threatening bully without taking any edge off her skills or her appetite. But yes, I get the grudging respect
Steve NordRunner Jan 2022 5:00pm, 8 Jan 2022 1,060 posts	0 Steve NordRunner If one subscribes to the «drive» theory of motivation (googlable) one could speculate that cats (and dogs) have several drives that motivate them, such as to hunt, to crunch, and to relieve hunger. So they would still have an unrelieved drive to hunt when fed at home. That's to say, feeding them might only satisfy one or two of the drives. This belongs in the cat psychology book that I have never seen.

She much, much prefers voles and mice.☺️☺️☺️ I forgive her bringing the corpses inside... Usually by the side of the sofa I sit on mostly, or by my bed...
