Reply #8: One of my cats

...is the bane of all small creatures foolish enough to enter the yard. Although she is a rather fat cat, she is able to eviscerate a fair share of birds and mice. I have two other cats, one is the mother of the master huntress, but they do not kill anything but kibble.

We have no other pets so the killer instinct does not really cause a problem. I don't believe in declawing because it is kind of like mutilation (it is like removing the ends of your fingers from the second knuckle). It will not stop her from hunting as she can still grapple her pray with her forepaws and claw with her hind paws not to mention her teeth. I would look into mounting the iguana cage securely. You can also put a bell on her collar to warn the birds of their impending doom.
