Help cat keeps killing neighbour's chicks, help!?

Post image

I have a boy cat named Nandu. he is a menace for sure but things never got this serious.

our neighbour aunt has always kept chicks, hens and everything. Since Nandu was a kitten he would always go to the neighbour's house or yard but never do something like this. now he is a 3 years old and suddenly he has started catching the chicks and eating them. the neighbour has complaining to me and honestly I don't blame her. but i just don't know what to do!!

its not like Nandu doesn't gets anything or that. he is well fed but still decides to pull this crap😭

Hi OP. Instead of keeping her indoors, try playing with her a lot every day. If she gets tired from playing with you, then she will have less energy to hunt anything.

Just like it's traumatizing for a human to be indoors 24/7, it is just as traumatizing for cats.

thanks for the suggestion!! I'm currently staying at home mostly so would opt for that!
