In my neck of the Caribbean Rain Forest, I have a problem with Jaguarundi, a smaller version of Jaguar who are being forced out of their natural habitat due to rain forests destruction and development and into my cacao farm. Last week, one literally jumped my into my fenced yard around my house, even though the dogs where nearby and grabbed the chicken who it had missed a few weeks earlier. I was shocked that he would be so bold with dogs and all, but gosh, they are hungry. A few weeks earlier he took 2 hens. I didn't feel so bad about it, as I know that they have to eat too. He missed the 3rd hen, as she was in the house "setting" at the time. But since she lost her tribe, she has been sleeping near our house, which I have a fence around for my dogs and puppies. I never thought the cat would jump the fence, for fear of the dogs. Poor thing, he must be extremely hungry.
I thought that he got the 3rd hen as I did not see her for several days. I must have scared the cat when I started screaming when I heard the scandal; when I investigated I saw a slew of feathers and no chicken, so of course I thought the worst. She appeared back but she has a broken wing and a loss of feathers. I am considering giving her away. Poor thing.
I know how you feel, @papa-pepper!
