So as one of the top threads I just wanted to point out a really cute cat plushie art shop! You can find it here. What's nice if that everything is about under 1k. If you've already found it, great! If not, check it out. You'll like it. 3nodding

Also, for you too discuss:
Do you think or is it possible to train a cat's instinct?
Eg. Flip the other day, no yesterday, killed and ate a bird, actually a dove. My dad says no to yelling at my cats when they kill birds or mice, he says it's instinct. I agree but can't help to give them the "talk." Lol, so I wondering if it is possible to train a cat to not to do that and ignore his or her instincts.

You can train dogs to ignore their instincts (ie; chase the moving object, munch the bird I'm retrieving for the hunter, give the ball to my owner) and you CAN do it with cats. The thing is, cats (for the most part) aren't pack animals, so you have to convince them that it's worth their while to please you. Where as with a dog, he lives to please you. So with patience and love and encouragement and lotsa kitty treats, you can probably train your cat to leave them birdies alone 3nodding

Cats are more indapendant then dogs and they will only bend to your will if/when they like. so i'd say its a 60%-70% chance that it would work.
