I am sure you read my post about my doggie & the mole he was after. I couldn't call me off the mole either.....I had to figure out how to get him to want to come to me more than continue trying to kill the mole. It is the nature of even our most domesticated pets to hunt.....& my doggie is not in need of any more food than what I keep his bowl full constantly.

Nature is something we can't escape, & have to work around given our situations. Keeping animals indoors can drive them as crazy as it drives us. Normally in nature, the wild cayotes or cats only kill for food, but it does seem that our domesticated animals do kill because they are excited when they come across the wild animals. I honestly don't have a solution, but it seems that it is an animal by animal trick to find what works to keep them from killing the outside wildlife. As far as that goes, that is why ranches/farms get cats....to keep down the rodent population....our "mousers"....that is their job on the farm.....even when they are fed their daily food.....it is just something that happens.

I do hope you can find something that helps cut down their ability to hunt like that....I am sure it doesn't make you happy that they are killing the chipmunks either. The right solution will come up in the soon. When I have a problem & start thinking about solutions, they do happen....maybe not soon enough to pleast the neighbors (like yesterday), but the answer will come to you.......the answer that will be best for the cats, neighbors & you....something will trigger the solution. Maybe even brousing on the internet might give you some ideas,
