Hiking in the woods helps me relax and eases tension.

The fact that I’m dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant.

If you have cats, don't let them go outside - at all. They kill billions of native animals. Feral cats are a whole additional problem and should be dealt with like Australia deals with them everywhere they are found.

It looks like he wants to play. Try to replace those living targets with toys and keep him busy enough playing: as he doesn't eat his victims it's apparent he kills from boredom. Here's an article on that but I only like the first suggestion. Or stop feeding him so that he'll kill for a natural purpose, at least.

Garage List
2007 BMW 328XI  [0.00]
we have 3 cats.. Mommy (16) is gonna kick the bucket any day but doesn't.. Aretha (1) is a hype active kitten.. then we come to our recent addition, Jack (5).. He was an indoor/outdoor cat with one eye.. he had to find a new place to live after various violent incidents in his previous living arrangement. He's an orange fat bastard. Some how he's been squeezing through the fence with my neighbor and killing all the squirrels. The neighbor's dog isn't intimidated like my dogs so Jack did a runner once discovered. Lucky the fat bastard didn't go far when he ran out the neighbor's open gate. We found him a few hours later and he got grounded from the backyard by my wife. I'm currently working nights so when I get home at 5am, He's waiting by the back door to go kill... "Daddy can I go kill tonight."

Of course. I'm well aware of the damage that domestic cats to. In any case I made this post out of jest. He's one of two indoor Maine Coon cats and they get supervised out time daily. We've been doing this for a few years and play the spoiler if required. However there have been two instances where we weren't able to prevent a capture. Yesterday morning was one of them. Trust me it's no fun having a cat run around your house with a bleeding chimpmunk.

From their perspective it's frustrating to look out the windows watching birds feed at the feeders and chipmunks/squirrels running around outside your windows and doors.

I'm not kidding. When I read this reply I couldn't help but think of European settlers arriving in the New World.

I know this look well, as well as the Maine Coon personality. Reference the pet thread, Hamilton The Beast.

One of the elderly neighbor ladies was walking her dog past my home one afternoon. As she walks by, she asks, "Is that your cat?" She continues with, "He's a bit of bully huh?" I just laughed it off and commented, "He can be a handful at times." Just as I said it, Hamilton attacked her dog (which was twice his size) while on a leash and the dog was trying his damnedest to get away. Now I have clue as to the history of the interactions with these two animals, but there was bad blood there.

Some cats just don't give-a-damn. Years ago I heard a "story" about a guy whose neighbor tried to get him to pay a vet bill for his Doberman. Allegedly the Doberman would always be off leash and harass his Golden Retriever. One day his Maine Coon was sitting at the end of his driveway and tore up the Dobermans nose when it came galloping across the street to cause mischief. Fake story? Perhaps, but not impossible.

It's odd how such a gentle animal, as the Maine Coon typically is, can go full blown psychopath in a split second. Hamilton kicked my ass several times. If he saw a brush, it was go-time.
