"Your suggestion, to keep the cats indoors, doesn't work if you have outdoor cats, ... they won't change now."

Yeah, I realize that. I really don't see a good way out. One that's fair to the cat owners and also the friends of fuzzies. There's no way the voters would ever agree to make outdoor cats illegal or something. So I just have to admit that mine is a minority opinion and be nice to all the cat lovers in the neighborhood - both cyber and 3D.

true. try to keep an outdoor cat inside! whoa. and my outdoor cat is an outdoor cat because she was a stray originally. she brings the occasional furry critter to the door. mostly mice which i don't mind. the one that tears me up a little is chipmunks. we have a lot around and i'm glad she only rarely gets one. birds are much less the problem.

i'm with you. my choice to save the two or three annual chipmunks would be to have the cat put to sleep, which isn't going to happen.

Our kittens were feral, and they wanted out, so we didn't even try to turn them into indoor cats. Have you had any luck with those collars with bells-- would that warn the birds? It seems as if I read that those can be dangerous for the cat.
