Re: But El Trumpo says...
"In the rural parts of the US it is not unusual for cats to be attacked or even killed by some of the really big birds."
My last cat was terrified of the local ravens. She adopted me when she was very young (just showed up) and must have had some close calls. It explained her goal of being strictly a house cat. She would venture a meter or so from the front door and dart back in if a raven flew over or dogs were barking. We have lots of coyotes in the ara too. She did like to talk to the small birds out the window, which was hilarious.
