Dunno. The one I've found in my youngest bedroom yesterday morning
didn't have a ring, nor a head. I found the beak when I vaccumed ...
This is the third one. The massacre has begun. My she cat is
impossible. There's nothing I can do. I just cross my fingers that she
won't get any offsprings fledgling from Mr and Mrs Robin (who took up
residency in my ivy).


Your cat won't eat a second robin, they make cats sick.


It might not eat a second robin, but might well still stalk and kill one,
just for fun.

Cats love hunting - I watched one yesterday evening, which had climbed to
the roof of a two storey house opposite, and was lying on the end ridge
tile, trying to get at nests constructed under the roof tiles (the birds
gain access by way of deteriorated mortar grouting along the eaves). It
wasn't doing that because it was hungry, judging by its size and condition.
