| Question about Pets:Has anyone ever heard of large Owls preying on cats? |
Yes, it is absolutely possible. That is one of many reasons to keep pets indoors and not allow them to run loose.
Since all owls in the US are protected species, keeping the cat indoors is the only legal way to deal with the problem. You can't shoot, poison, or even harass the owl. And if it happens to be a Great Horned Owl, they can inflict severe wounds on a human, so I would advise not even getting near it. We had three of them at the Avian Rehabilitation Center when I volunteered there, and we had to be extremely careful when we entered their enclosure to clean it and put their food out. I was told by one of the biologists that the Great Horned Owl is the tiger of the bird world and I have read of other rehabbers who have been injured by Great Horned Owls.
