Unfortunately, every time they kill wildlife and eat at least part of them, they can become exposed to parasites, mainly roundworm......which means using poisons to get rid of them....

I usually leave the door to the garage open so the boys can come and go. They love to bring me their trophies and will even bring them into our bedroom....more often alive than dead. I tell them how proud I am of them and their hunting skills--and I really am. Then I take their trophies out to show all the world how great they are. Cats...........aren't they great?????
