Hmm, yeah that’s pretty high. I agree, hunted from the ground when they’re after the scattered feed.
Others have suggested planting things cats don’t like, and that may work. Now I’m wondering if one can plant enough catnip they would be too high to care, or perhaps just too high to hunt well. Dunno.
Either way this situation highlights an important ecological lesson: add food to a system and different niches will show up to consume it. That being said, cats are obviously a very human addition to ecosystems.
Tangential note: this reminds me of the Love, Death, Robots episode with the Scottish farmer and the rats in his barn. Was on Netflix last I saw it. 5/5, fun and quick.
PPS: When the protected birds show up to do the same as the cats, I’d advise you to leave them be. Taking one of those down is a felony, I believe.
Alright, so I tried that exactly, plus mauricio, then plus red glasses and tamborine. I have now seen pages of images of this man in everything but that outfit, more of him than I ever wanted to, this Michael-Palin-lost-a-bar-fight who kinda looks like he steals from pensioners fella (I know nothing of his politics). I feel I could spot him anywhere now.
What I do have to report is Bing and DDG actually work. Google image search was surprisingly bad real quick.
Maybe my results are location dependent? Should I spoof my location then try again?
If he scrubbed this, then he would seem to be the exception to the Streisand Effect.
