My daily TV fix is to watch Jackson Galaxy (Eden 3pm). TBH I didn't like him much at first, but was interested in the cat behaviour issues he demonstrates. And now that I've seen a lot of it I get where he's coming from and have learned so much about cats and what makes our cat tick.
Yes, the programme is American and they keep cats inside. We will probably move in that direction too but for conservation reasons rather than for the safety of the cats. The other night when our guy was running full speed across the lawn playing I thought how unhappy he would be if he had to be shut in. And he has had no real impact on our urban bird life. He does catch some, mainly blackbirds, but we still have at least two successful clutches a year in the garden. And he always catches any rodents in the compost before they come inside.
