5 am and noises downstairs, rushed naked to see what it was, and found my cat was fighting with a bird at the bottom of the stairs, rushed to the bird's rescue, got it in an open box, and deposited it outside. Lucky, no one around to see me. And the bird ran away, it was half the size of the kitten, so I am not sure if she could have got it in through the cat flap, as it would have been in front of her, so not sure the chip would have been read with the cat's head so far from the cat flap tunnel.
So the bird may have entered the house through an open window, likely without the cat, would have exited it the same way. But windows only cracked open, and a fan running on the window sill, so would not have thought a bird or bat would have flown in. It put a reasonable distance between me and it as soon as released, and my other cat, twice the size of our female, looked at the bird, but decided to come in the open door and not to chase the bird.
It seems it is the female who is the violent cat. But how she could have got the bird through a cat flap, I don't know, but should the animal be simply evicted, or should something else be done?
