Protecting Cats from Outdoor Predators

broken image

If you own a cat and you live in a heavily forested area or an area in the suburbs away from the hustle and bustle of the city then you need to watch out for predators eyeing your cat. That’s right, there are predators both big and small that will keep watch of your cat waiting for the right time to attack. If you own a small cat look out for large birds such as haws or eagles as they may try and swoop down and carry your cat off as its prey. Larger cats may fall prey to larger predators such as wolves, coyotes or even larger foxes. You can protect your cat from outdoor predators by keeping your cat indoors. If your cat goes out, take her out on a leash so she stays with you at all times. Avoid going out early dawn or after dusk. For more tips, call your vet Roanoke, VA.
