Hi Lucy,
Red tailed hawks can lift most items as heavy as a adult cat. Eagles can lift things even heavier than that. Maggie weighs 2.8 and is 11 weeks old. She never goes out without her leash. We have her an exercise pen outside with a shade cloth cover for it. My husband made the cover using PVC tubing. Works great. Gives me time to weed a few flower beds and she get some fresh air too. Please don't think that because your baby is 4 pounds will mean that she is safe. House cats are 8-12 pounds and they are a very easy target. Cats even have claws to fight back, but not against the talons of prey birds. My neighbor lost her beautiful tabby to our neighborhood Red Tailed Hawk just last week. |
