Aww don't kill them! They're so cute I lubs them. I catch them and feel them all fluttery in my hand and then put them out the window. I've had loads this last few weeks.

WHAT?? They're gross! They leave moth dust everywhere! (mostly when you've killed them without a hoover). I've had two moth infestations in my kitchen and can honestly say it's the most disgusting thing I've EVER seen

Aww I think they're lovely! I'll happily catch most bugs with my hands, except mahoosive spiders or Daddy-long-legs (I reeeeally hate them!) Moths are harmless if you think about it, they can't hurt you.

But they fly in your face! And they're getting so big these days I'm actually starting to believe the climate change conspiracy. I don't want a big fat powdery, idiotic, irritating parasite flying about leaving moth dust in my bed

Next door to us have 2 cats We been trying to keep them away as there is a birds nest in the garden. Not a big tree and there is a mother and some baby birds. Today we found the mother dead in our back garden and are furious with next door just giving their cats free roam at night. I can't stand it that they can just go anywhere. If our Dog was let out and killed their cats we would be in huge trouble

I have two cats and i'm sorry but its what they do. I don't know how you think you can police what times your neighbours let their cats out? If i ever see my cats with a bird, mouse, frog etc. I will rescue it but i can't follow them round and watch them every second and i would never keep them in when they want to be out.

Dont worry, I've bought the kids water-pistols and given them instructions to FIRE AT WILL!!!

I dunno Mofo - them Mofo's (hehe) are pretty resilient! I've seen one fly BACK OUT of my hoover Had to show him who's boss

Sorry, I was on about cats there - I've soooo moved on from the moth rant!!!

probably because there are few if any cases of a cat ever mauling a HUMAN to death, is the reason there is no law preventing cats from being allowed to roam free
IF a cat causes damage to YOU or your property including pets, and you have suitable proof, then the cats owner IS responsible the same as for a dog,horse, cow, ardvark, baboon,
BLAMING a cat for killing birds is as daft as blaming birds for building nests,
hunting and killing is a cats NATURAL instinct, its what they DO, besides making other cats,
its not nice when they kill things I know, but they're NOT people,
a responsible cat owner can only do so much, mine wears a collar and a bell I TRY to only let him out at certain times of day, I feed him before he goes out so he's not hungry, but he STILL manages to catch things.
cause.. he's a cat.

Why do cats need to go out anyway? I just find it frustrating we been protecting these birds for a while and the cats have gone and attacked it in the night. I have a dog and if i let it out and it attacked any other animal there would be uproar

oh and one of my cats favorite prey at this time of year is....... moths but they are not supposed to eat em, apparently they aint good for em,
BUT the cat doesnt CARE t its smaller than him its movement triggers his instinctive hunting response and off he goes,
makes no difference to HIM if its a moth, a butterfly, a black bird, mouse rat rabbit, its ALL the same ........ prey,

I LOVE my little lion I do.

Im not saying its the cats fault, me and my family are furious though that the cat was allowed out even when the neighboors knew the birds have been in the tree for a while. We been doing everything we can to keep them alive and it has been all for nothing The cat owners knew there were birds there as the tree is partly in their garden aswell

then we rolled around the floor for a bit biting and kicking each other, it almost dragged me out of the window at one point, I finally managed to get it in a headlock while I slammed its antenna in the door a few times finally I was able to bundle it out of the window and slam it shut.
