Post your cats ( or other worthy critters )

[The Grand Wazoo]

Had a habit of catching and eating anything smaller than himself, but always left the stomach. Usually outside my bedroom door.

We had a tabby like that once - his name believe it or not was Slug! He'd bring rabbits into the kitchen through his cat flap during the night & eat the lot except for one front leg and about 4 inches of large intestine - weird!
I got home from work once to find him curled up on the sofa with a proud look on his face. Proud because, laid out in the middle of the rug was a massive but very dead weasel.

Don't thing Ginger ever got any weasels, but we did find guinea pig heads on the landing on two successive mornings.

Guinea Pigs - Yikes!
We lived in an old house and we got Slugger to the catch mice. He got a bit mixed up - started bring frogs in when he was a kitten and moved straight on to rabbits. I don't think he ever caught a mouse in his entire life!

I, unfortunatley, don't currently have any of my own lovely creatures BUT I have befriended a lot of the local cats, they just love me... maybe because I feed them tasty stuff

Am I allowed to post their pics??

One day I will again own my own little one.... I'm more of a Whippet/Greyhound/Saluki/Lurcher kinda person really but I love all animals really

This is all rather weird, as all ours ever bring in are butterflies, wasps and flies... In 48 years of owing a multitude of different cats, I've never had one bring into the house anything bigger than a sparrow!

However, our cats are more 'house cats' than anything else, groomed (and spoiled) to be purely pets from when they were kittens. They only get out to 'play' for a few hours each day in our garden, in largely urban surroundings, and never at night. They're also extremely pampered and well-fed (on all the best cat food), and so I guess that they feel no real compulsion to hunt for food in the short time they are allowed outside.

Perhaps that might explain the lack of 'free meals' being delivered on our carpet?

Abella: far too much of a princess to bother mixing with ruffians, like mice and other rodents...

Sounds like a good situation.

Our two are also fed on high quality cat food and kept in at night, however they are free to come and go during the day. The female basically kills anything that moves, including mice, voles, shrews and, sadly, baby rabbits - on two occasions I've come home to find the rear legs and the white fluffy tail of what used to be a rabbit sat on the kitchen floor. I've also seen her have a go at a squirrel on the bird table and very nearly succeed in catching it!

The male will occasionally bring a mouse home but is generally less interested in these sort of animals - very often when he does bring a mouse in, it is still alive and unharmed so I catch and release it. However, he is completely obsessed with birds. During the course of a morning he once killed and brought in an entire nest full of adult and baby sparrows and I then caught him trying to drag the actual nest through the cat flap! Unfortunately we do live out in the wilds of the countryside completely surrounded by fields, meadows and woods so I don't suppose all this is likely to stop any time soon!

Now if only I could persuade one of them to have a crack at the pheasant that often wanders into the garden...

My mutt 'Tippy' the lurcher, is constantly trying to catch rats, but he's not very good at it. He's not caught one in the year plus that I've had him and there are plenty around here. Never mind, he's good lad.
