LOL Caryl thats my second kitten she has killed and in the same way 2

Unfortunately you take responsibility for your pets health. If you choose to have outside cats you take on responsibility for them possibly being run over or killed by a dog.

I am sorry for your loss but perhaps the fact it's happened twice should tell you something? Maybe you either need inside cats or to keep the kittens inside longer. How old were they?

ummmm we got him at 5 weeks and had him 4 like 1month 1 week :cry: no mre kittens allowed time to try another pet maybe birds

Well fair enough if you want to move on, 2 deaths in succession is pretty harsh. But 5 week old kittens are not properly socialised with their mum and siblings, which is going to slow their development in general. It is advised to keep kittens inside for 6 or even 8 weeks and starting with short supervised periods.

Unfortunately if you live by a main road some cats just won't learn to be sensible. But by taking precautions as above you can minimise it.

Birds are a hard one though - large birds live for a long time and need a lot of stimulation! They're very intelligent and need more time and interaction than most dogs. Most small birds really ought to be in a group with an avairy not one of those hideous little cages most people use.

Any pet is a big commitment, and fish are probably the only one you could sort of say are disposable.

Rats are a good one, as they are intelligent and affectionate, don't smell with regular cleaning which is easy if you keep up with it, and only live a few years so your parents don't end up with them if you decide to go on an OE or go flatting where you can't have pets.

yea we knew about the cat but the said it was 6 weeks but we were sure it was 5 weeks old well i was thinking about building a wooden structure 4 soem budges or something and keeping them in my room

That'd be quite cool. I used to be really anti-birds but now I quite like them, I'm just not prepared for the mess and the amount of space they take up if you make any attempt to house them in a pleasant manner.

Love to see pictures if you make a diy aviary :D
