Well that's why you don't put it in the back yard... because other animals eat it.

Answer 9

My God you can't kill animals for being hungry, take the food in for gosh sakes.  I leave food out all day and my cats eat it but I always take it in at night.  It works out as the wild animals only come around after dark.  Try that please do not kill anything. Thanks

Answer 10

You have to put the cat food in at night.  Your cat won't starve, cats are very good hunters.  If the other critters get to be too much of a problem, put out traps and relocate them.

Bring your cat food indoors.  why is it outside to begin with?

Bring it in at night, if you can't bring it in all the time.
