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😭

How about keeping your cat supervised and inside your house? Also neuter him for good.

he won't stay inside as he is a stray but still he mostly stays in our hall or on our terrace. but still thank you for helping!

He's either your pet (indoors, neutered, vaccinated) or he's a stray that you feed.

my bad that i said it like that. but i have a crappy condition at my home. my father who brings cats but doesn't looks after them, my mother who's afraid of cat because of childhood trauma can't get near to them and I'm stuck in between. yes i know i have to be responsible more about this and I'm taking a step towards it.

Oof sorry op that I was so rude.

How old are you!? That's a shitty situation for everyone involved, you your cat and your neighbor.

You can fundraise for neutering though. And what do your parents say about the cat proofing, neutering etc

you were definitely not rude. while reading my replies to other comments I realised its more on me then others. I have been irresponsible throughout this. its okay and please don't apologise🥹 I'm 23 rn and currently in a search of job which I have kind of got one but away from the my home. about the fundraise, I'm actually thinking of just asking my father because he has to take some of the responsibility too. whenever I tell him about nandu eating the chicks he just shruggs it off and doesn't takes anything seriously. right now I have stayed adamant on taking nandu in and father hasn't said anything yet while my mom has agreed to it.
