A feral cat has adopted dad...and has had kittens in one of his scrap cars.
She insists on catching live sparrows and brining them in for her family. (Who kept escaping from the Rover and now are in a dog cage in dads living room.)
Dad wants to send Tufty to the Cats protection when they pick up the kittens.
I think this is unfair, shes a feral cat, though she is very good natured, she doesn't bite or scratch, and she uses the litter tray (when shes not outside which even now is most of the time)
I told him that a neutered cat would keep other ferals away, and the cats protection have too many adult cats...after all, she has a good home with him.
But hes adamant to be rid of her.
I cant say much, its not my house. (I would have her and one of the kittens...but Im going to uni. I offered to pay for her Op too.)
How do we teach her not to catch birds?
The sad thing is Dad loves cats; he doesn't want her catching his birds, and he said it would break his heart when she does get old and he would have to take her to be put down (I told him that as a feral cat, like as not she would go away quietly and die.)
What can I do? I don't want to see Tufty betrayed, its not like shes a pet, she `chose` my father to live with.
