poacher3161 1,766 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 IMHO getting this type of dog used to cats has to be done from a young age and now she has had a taste its going to be very hard and in some cases can be impossible. Quote Link to post

Rabbitdispatcher. Not sure why you see it as a set back, dont know why every bloody house in some areas needs a cat, this time of year with so many young birds and mammals about , f*****g cats take a huge toll on them,with numbers of song bird dropping every year but everyone one is been told to encourage wildlife into their gardens , but nothing is been done abouts cats, for every one rabbit taken by lurchers i would think that 20 are taken by moggies, Watched a she cat years ago with a litter in the barn, clear a long hedgerow of young rabbits until the kittens were weaned, very effective killers on small prey but who gives a f**k but try to justify a days ferreting to some people and your seen as a monster, the same people with a moggie sitting on their lap, figure that out,, Quote Link to post
rabbitdispatcher 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 cheers for all the comments and yeah i see what you mean about it not beeing a set back the only thing i was thinking about was can you get done for your dog killing a cat because if the neighbours see the dog kill there cat they will report me i reckon lol.

Tiff 36 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I would think that if the cat was in your garden then there is nothing that can be done to you. Quote Link to post

stroller 341 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 must be a hard little dog,and nothing wrong with that but its best to stop it as quick as you can, farmers dont look to kindly on a dog killing the farm cat! i had a jack russel chase a cat into a farm house and onto the kitchen table when the farmers family were having breakfast, the dog didnt get the cat but it was close. everybody thought it was funny fortunately. it will take a lot of practice and patience but you need to re introduce the whippet to cats in a friendly way good luck Quote Link to post
