The secret to barn cats is feed them in the morning. Not at night. Then they're more likely to hunt if food isn't in a dish all day and night.

We left food out all the time, never had any issue. The hunters hunted all day long, but they didn’t eat what they caught, a full belly gives them energy to hunt.

I find that my cats hunt on instinct. A full belly makes no difference to my cats. Mice, roaches, Snakes and on occasion a bird. I had one that would tackle Squirrels! I hope that you kept your kittens up for at least a week or two. It is easy for them to get lost if not. Good luck and GOD bless

When I worked at a Boarding and Breeding Ranch, we had lots of heavily feed cats, but few mousers. When they, considered ferals, were fed as per ASPC requirements, one feeding per day and water at all times. Now I have a small hobby farm and one cat. She was/is a feral. Small, but tuff. She liked to hunt in the coop. I set traps (TomCat reuseabule, they look like big clothes pins) baited with peanut butter. So I fed them to the chickens. They out hunt the cat. Once the chickens figured out it was food and some pointers from the cat. Haven't had a mouse problem. Tho I do have to bribe the cat to get back snakes.

My barn cats hunt regardless of a full belly or not. It just takes time for the natural hunting insticts kick in

Absolutely love them. A tip is you shouldn't have a bell on their collar, especially since you're wanting them to hunt. Would be awfully hard to sneak up on something if you're jingling. lol

My cat learned how to walk an not have the bell ring. He always had a bell an used to pull sparrows out of the sky.

When we had outdoor cats we lined their houses with those reflective emergency blankets. It kept them nice and toasty!

Aw, so much thought put into that cozy cat den! (Edit: in case I wasn't clear, since people here seem to think I was being sarcastic, I'm saying that I love the thought you put into it and its beautiful) A few things though, the bells on he collars are dangerous for outdoor cats, you have predators around, and they can pinpoint the bell sounds and I've heard of cats that sadly got mauled to death by a dog because of the bells giving them away. They will also warn the rodents to run away. The collars themselves, btw, can also be dangerous, but as long as you make sure they are cat-safe collars, with a safetly break-under-pressure buckle, it should be fine. you WILL lose many collars but the cats wont hang themselves to death on fences and bushes.

Yes, they are called ‘breakaway’ collars! They can’t get stuck in tight places and choke to death with the breakaway kind and bells are bad business!!

Oh my gosh! THANK YOU for saying you are getting them fixed! I grew up on a big farm and all the farmers never got them fixed, and of course they ended up with way to many cats and always ended up culling them every few years. Don’t worry about the boys being lazy after getting fixed, it’s simply NOT TRUE.. my 2 year old little boy kitty is fixed and he is a total beast with hunting. Females, in my experience are just more calm over all, fixed or not. Anyways, thanks for getting them fixed and enjoy the new kitties.

@@BLAQFiniks I don’t understand why a simple comment using an extremely common phrase has upset you so much. Getting them fixed, (yes I’m using that term again because it’s a common term and I feel absolutely so shame in using it as a blanket term in place of spaying or neutering), getting cats fixed isn’t debilitating to them at all. It actually saves lives. If you grew up on a farm, you would know that cats breed like crazy, and the solution to that for many farmers is to cull the animals to cure overpopulation. My personal experience seeing this was a farmer that lived down the road culled 50 cats one year, and that is not uncommon. If you live in a big city, around almost every apartment complex there are tons and tons of homeless cats because when people move they get abandoned because they aren’t cute little kittens anymore. They breed and breed. The manager usually ignores it until it’s out of hand, and then they call in team to trap generations of homeless cats and cull them. My personal experience with that is, I lived an a apartment complex in a big city and the owners ignored the cat population for about 5 years, it got out of hand, until one year when they trapped and culled almost 300 cats. Not fixing them is a major issue, and the solution is usually way more “debilitating” than getting them fixed. Playing semantics with the use of a word while calling the procedure debilitating ridiculous. Getting cats “fixed” , fixes a very important problem, and saves animal lives.

I'd recommend putting some sort of flap to cover those holes! Even just a piece of fabric with a slit cut into it could work, and it'd help keep the cats warm without letting all their body heat out.

That house looks really nice! Good build!! But as a tip, use straq foe the bedding and not hay. hay soaks up moisture and can get moldy, meanwhile straw repels moisture. When building outdoor shelters foe street cats its common to always use straw and not hay or fabric for this reason.

I love that!! That looks like something I could use as well. It doesn’t get cold here that often, but when it does, bbbrrrrrr, lol!! Thanks for sharing that! I had a kitten show up the beginning of this year. It got to freezing temps and I found her near frozen in my chicken coop. She was so cold she couldn’t run away. I put her in my jacket and brought her inside. She stayed until she thawed and with plenty of pets, scratches and cuddles she’s now a member of the family. Her name is Basil (pronounced Bazil). She’s the sweetest thing. She was an inside kitty until Ida destroyed my home. Now she’s outside with my other cats.

my little sister was born the 28th of October and her name is Milly so basically while i watch your kids grow im also watching my younger siblings grow

Such adorable little babies. My all time favorite cat was called Huckleberry, Huck for short. He was an extraordinary Kitty. He lived a full and happy 19 yrs. So if ur boys are even half as special they will bring u so much joy and happiness. What a great new home you've built them. ❤️❤️❤️

6 years ago we needed cats and we had to go to James port for something.. We took a cat carrier just in case. We ended up with 2 gray kittens Puss and Boots.

I've a neutered tom he is an amazing hunter, but I got him after I had to pts my Maine coon, we also lost a lot of animals as they were all rescues. Now Theo is the only one left and a brilliant wee hunter.. He eats a lot but hunts a lot they are so worth having.

Some cats just are not hunters. Had a big black cat that was a stray I found as a kitten. He always was a little wild and didn’t like to be petted much, but he got to go in and out of the house. We’re right next to a farm and that meant there was mice to be found, and my cat did try and catch them but just never could catch any. The most he ever managed to get was a feather from a crow. Him and that crow I swear where arch enemies, so he was pretty proud of himself for getting a tail feather (crow was fine). He was just meant to be a house cat that played at being a barn cat sometimes, and we loved him anyway.
