He also picks fights with neighbour cats and dogs and loses every time, costing me a fortune in vet bills. I love him.

Maybe he wants a friend not food.

If your cat is attacking neighbor animals you should not let it outside anymore. Culling wildlife is problematic but “their nature”. But a pet that actively attacks other people’s pets is just a menace and will only end in heartache and legal issues.

It’s “their nature” but they are not part of nature (unless you live in like Turkey or something where they’re from).

He’s just bringing you toys to practice your hunting skills!

So if I run your cat over in the street, you would have no problem with it? Because you sure seem okay with letting your captive predator out to do the same to your entire neighborhood.

I like to hear the howl of the coyotes and the hoot of the great horned owl nearby at night. We have no issues with cats roaming the neighborhood.

He has a cat door, he comes and goes as he wants. If you run him over, he’s run over. That’s the reality of outdoor cats.

He never killed any of the animals he brought inside. If he suddenly starts killing stuff, I’ll probably reconsider.

You don’t know what they have or haven’t killed.

Cats being predators are meant to kill things. If this causes a problem in your area, it’s a sign cats weren’t meant to be in that area and you should probably stop buying them and domesticate some native wildlife instead.
