Any ideas how to stop the neighbour's cats from killing birds and small mammals?
A newish neighbour has four cats another neighbour has two cats. The blackbirds that nest in our garden every year have all been killed yet again by cats. Three cats sat near the hedge and killed the non-flying baby fledglings as they left the nest, I arrived too late to intervene.
My wife asked the neighbour very nicely if they could keep their Cats indoors until the Baby Blackbirds could fly, this takes the fledglings about a week from leaving their nest , but obviously this was too much trouble for the neighbour.
I like cats, but there seems to be too many, so small mammal wildlife seems to be depleting every year.
