Indigo buntings and cats


For the past three weeks we’ve had a pair of indigo buntings at our backyard bird feeder.  They really are indigo, and they are increasingly rare.

For the past week, we’ve had a cat hanging around our property.  Some irresponsible owner obviously dropped it off, assuming that the “farmer” would take care of it.

If the cat kills the indigo bunting, leaving its hatchlings to starve, no penalty.  If I shoot the cat and someone sees it, I can be charged with cruelty to animals.  

Will someone please explain that to  me.
