While growing up, I always felt sorry for house cats. The cat I adopted had been a stray and was used to being outside...I never tried to keep her in. However, when we adopted our two kitties, the shelter recommended keeping them as house cats, it is safer, healthier, and they live much longer. We've had them for about 7 or 8 years now and they are fine and seem happy. I do wonder if we made them agoraphobic, but they enjoy watching the birds out the window and seem quite content. We decided never to give them table scraps--a couple of years ago, I left a plate with bacon on the coffee table, went back for something in the kitchen and rushed back thinking they might've grabbed the bacon...luckily that proved to me that they have no desire for any of our food--even the most tempting. ![]()

But, what is stopping other birds from eating the poisoned grains?

In this case, Starlings were targeted and killed.
