It kept stuggling, And squealing I didn't know what to do
- it have it around the neck
-wouldn't let go
- should I have rescued it and taken it to a vet?
-it looked really bad
or should I have let nature take it's course, predetor vs preyMy cat caught a live squrriel, should I have animal activated?
The best thing that might have happened is that you saved the squirrel and made your cat mad for a couple of hours. however; this is likely not the outcome you would have gotten.
You very likely would have been attacked by both your cat and the squirrel and then it could be you who needs to be checked and treated for rabies once you were stitched up and after that the squirrel quite likely would have died from injuries it had already sustained.
It is hard to watch your cat go after any animal, much less one as fun to watch as a squirrel, but it is the way of nature. Just make sure your kitty's shots are up to date and hope for the best. Of course, you do not want to encourage this behavior, but do not actively punish your cat because (s)he won't understand why (s)he is being punished.
Alternately you could keep your cat indoors and make sure it has lots of toys .. perhaps something with feathers and/or fur with catnip inside??My cat caught a live squrriel, should I have animal activated?
Leave it alone, let it back outside.
Um yeah let nature run it's course on that one. My step-daughter tried to rescue a mouse from one of my cats and the mouse wound up biting her, so just leave it alone.
No, you should not try to grab an injured squirrel; it very likely could have bit you. If your cat doesn鈥檛 have a current rabies vaccination, he needs to go to the vet now. Cats are hunters and what yours did wasn鈥檛 wrong, but keep yours inside if this practice bothers you.
U should report this bad behavior 2 the authorities.
Get a broom n try 2 scare ur cat away w/ it n remove that squirrel but b very careful w/ it, it may have rabies.
just let nature takes it course
