Cats in Bali

[mimpimanis]

I have 5 cats & we have loads of birds visiting the garden. I love to sit in the morning with my ice coffee watching them in the flowers.

Our cats have caught rats nearly as big as themselves, they have the scars to show for the battles too.

There is a place for all the animals.

Re: RE: Cats in Bali

I really don't think the addition of two more will make much difference.....

That's very likely exactly what the folks moving to Australia in the 19th century thought. "Oh well, what's two more cats?"

Very likely Roy, probably the people moving to Australia in the 18th century too (when Australia was first populated by Europeans)

Come to think of it, the Indonesian people probably brought one or two themselves even before that. They brought their dogs. The Australian dingo is basically a typical Indo/Malay hound.

Cats might have even been introduced to Australia in the 15th century by the Dutch who visited several times. Most sailing ships had cats to keep the rat population down.

And of course then there is the marsupial cat native to Australia, but that's extinct, hunted to death by humans.

But really, we are talking about two much loved pets here. I know you have to start somewhere, but maybe that should be with a sterilisation program and public education to reduce the cat population rather than our two Malaysian puddy-tats :?

Hey Guys, I appreciate all of your views....good or bad - everyone is entitled to their opinions. :wink: I hope it is just my imagination, but please don't get uptight about this issue.

You guys are a fantastic bunch here.

Thanks for all of the support, especially mimpimanis, Freogirl, Roy and Bert, of course, and everyone else who care to peek into this post.

Hugs to all.

Hi Summerl,

We recently moved from Australia to Bali and brought our dog with us.

Absolutely no problems and only A$1000. I guess cats should be no different.

Our contact was Puti Ernawan, from Denpasar and came highly recommended. Please email me and I can give you his phone no and email.

That's great news. I also have two cats that would like to become expats.

We have 2 cats, and they do a good job with the rats. Not many though!

Lots of cats around our place and we didn't bring any of them. I have no idea where they came from as 10 years ago there were none here at all. Now we've got domesticated ones in many of the village houses and already see large numbers roaming around abandoned. Some recent indications of unwanted kittens being drowned as well.

On the positive side I haven't seen a mouse or rat in years. OTOH those pussies sure do some damage to the alang alang roofs. They've established their territory up there and even use it to keep the kittens safe from the dogs.

Press the PM button on his posting to send him a personal mail. It may well be however he has left the forum as his posting is quite old.
