Uh, I think you may be exaggerating with the foxes. Even an average to large size cat CANNOT and WILL NOT go after a full grown fox, and surely not 12 of them! You cannot stop your cat from killing mice, birds, etc., other than to KEEP IT INSIDE! No cat should be allowed to roam free., and if it is (really a BAD idea) a bell should be attached to it's collar so that birds and rodents hear it coming.

Bell your cat......seriously....Whenever u hear the bells ringing louder u would know for sure that your cat is on a killing spree..
By the way it seems that your cat has a really good appetite.U shoudn't be feeding her really well.....by the way the population of mice must be decreasing.....although the killing of birds & foxes is a serious enviromental hazard.

Yep, the only thing to do is make him an indoor cat. Cats hunt instinctively and you can't train away an instinct. Most vets recommend that cats be kept indoors. An indoor cat is less likey to get diseases and parasites from killing wild animals. Also, he can't get hit by a car which is probably the number one killer of cats.

Unfortunately it is born in them to be hunters. You can have him declawed and make him an indoor cat and that would stop the killing. 300 mice? Hope you live out in the country or something. Another suggestion regarding the birds- Don't put out bird feeders or anything along that line that will draw them to your yard.

DON"T LET YOUR CAT OUT YOU MORON!!! Cats cannot be trained not to hunt...it is in their nature. It is YOUR fault for letting your cat run wild. If you cannot be a responsible owner then give your cat away to someone who can. Indoor cats live much longer, healthier lives. Dangers of being outside include: being hit by a car, poisoned by a human or by left out poisons (snail bait, rat poison, antifreeze, etc.) killed/eaten by a predator or dog, all sorts of diseases from other animals/pets, cat fights resulting in an abscess and infection. Do you realize what kind of damage your cat is doing to the ecosystem!! Many passerines are in decline and are becoming endangered due to cats killing them. Go out and get an education, and KEEP YOUR CAT INDOORS.

It is nature running it's course. You can't punish an animal for doing what is natural, if it is not posing as a threat. Besides, if mice get in your house, they are full of diseases. If the cat wasn't out there doing it's thing, you would have them getting in your house.

I would let him do his thing also, Cats were born hunters. The only thing I would be concerned about, is having his shots updated. I would be afraid of him getting some disease. If he's an outdoor cat, you shouldnt keep him inside, he'll hate it!!! If it's getting REALLY out of hand, buy one of those enclosed gate things, keep him in there. good luck

That's a damn good cat if you ask me. I think you should just keep taking him to the vet for check up to make sure he doesn't contract anything that may harm you or your family. Don't worry about it. It's in his nature. Try to keep him indoors as much as possible. good luck
