Saving the wildlife

Some Einstein made the following comment on yesterday's post;

Skinks, geckos, birds and more. For crying out loud get rid of your cat and give the wildlife a fair go.


But if I "get rid" of Tom there are three more. And 2 more next door and 2 more just up the road from them. And two more directly across the road....

Yet our "wildlife", especially the birds, seems to thrive. Perhaps that is because the cats keep the rats, the bigger threat, in check.

Don't even try to educate urban greenies about the realities out there, pure waste of time.

Tried that. But they are all little houdinis.

Cats do keep rats under control, that's why there is a Cat-ional Party. Tame pun I admit.

Well I knew that I would come in for a bit of stick for my comment about your cat but I expected something a little more robust from Oswald.

Right wing ecosystem. Native wildlife must adapt to the new predators. If they can't manage that then they deserve to die.
