So my dear, wonderful Jade has decided that if Sparky won't go outside and learn to hunt, she will bring the hunt inside to him. In the last 8 months since it started she has brought in:
2 live but injured field mice that were both caught and released
4 crickets 2 got eaten 2 got played with till death and were discovered a few days later
1 bird. I only know about the bird because when we got home from work there were feathers strewn down my hallway. I assume the rest of the bird has been ingested. I haven't found it anywhere else.
I absolutely don't mind Jade hunting. She was raised a barn cat, it's all she knows. She can't seem to wrap her mind around the fact that Sparky is 100% a fat house cat who has no desire to step foot outside, or hunt for his food
she is bringing them in the window when she knows when we are sleeping. She waits because she knows if she brings it in while we are awake we will put it back out. We can't close the window because that's the only way she will come in the house, she will sit in the windowsill and yell until we let her in, even if we open the door and yell for her.
All this being said, how do we stop her?
