Is there a way to stop a cat from killing mice? General Dog Discussions
My partner has two cats that constantly catch mice. they usualy don't kill them, just injure them and leave them to die. We feel very bad about it and even taken one to the vet but it was too late for him.Is there any way to make them stop this behavior?Will playing with them more with fake mice and string replace their need for the hunt, or will it just train them to be better killers?I'm looking for a solution that means the cats are ok and the mice are ok (besides keeping the cats locked in - which restricts the cats) . Please don't post with "let cats be cats" or "it's only natural".I see people have misunderstood my question. I don't have a mouse problem, the mice are all outside and do not bother me in the slightest. I DON'T want to kill them.Also - I don't think that it's not natural. i know it is, but it doesn't make it any better for the mice or me. And it doesn't solve my problem.
