My cat has always been a good hunter - previously brought us mice and rabbits, usually dead, but I occasionally have to catch and release them.
More recently, he has started bringing rats. So far, they have been dead, but I’m really worried he’ll bring in a live one.
I’m considering locking the cat flap overnight so that he can’t bring ‘gifts’ in for us. I’d put some sort of shelter / kennel outside, and allow him in as soon as I was awake, just not allow free reign to the house while we’re sleeping and unaware what he might bring in.
Has anyone done this? Is it safe? Humane?
