Love your site, I recommend it often! :-)
I have two beloved half Bengal cats, neutered, but one isn't vaccinated: since I live right on coyote alley (by Kits beach), I keep them indoors, they have never been out but seem quite happy in my big appartment. For a little hunting fun, I often bring them feathers to play with, which I find on my walks... Can cats get diseases, and/or parasites from wild bird feathers (crows, seagulls)??? Also, they love to devour any insect in sight, can they somehow get sick from eating bugs like silverfish, moths, spiders or small centipedes?? May sound a little silly, but I've often wondered... and why do they stay away from ants, do these smell/taste bad? Thanks guys!
Thanks for your email.
Usually the only things cats get from birds is possibly a tapeworm.
Insects are just fine, they like to play with them. ants I really don't
know it might be the play thing. I can't see the ants playing they
are too busy collecting things. There are several toys out there
to play with cats, also the laser pens. Hang things from your window
that they can bat around. Feathers should be just fine. teh bengal
cats are so beautiful. We have several clients that have them. One
breeds them.
