:sick: She ATE the mouse?!

Yes, she did indeed eat the mouse!  :evillaugh: Oh yes, and she had some of the rabbit as well. I think Mr Fox finished the rabbit.

Pearl was a semi-feral - she lived rough for around a year before she was trapped, during which she raised two litters of kittens. She had to hunt to survive and I guess she does like the odd mouse or bird etc. She polished off three greenfinches last week, and a while back she brought back a pigeon that was almost as big as she was...

She's just a cat being a cat - and one who is an astonishingly smart and accomplished hunter.  :bow:

they never eat the tails..fraser (altho not had one for a long time) eats everything inc feet but leaves the tail.
Once of them will eat a whole bird but ive known a few feathers and BEAK only to be left (thats pretty grose)
with moles soots never ate the eats and with rabbits depending on how many he caught that day (often/normally several) he'd always eat the insides and leave the carcase.  Shrews odly they kill but normally dont eat, which is a shame as i really like shrews.

Yep CC.. the ol' Tom and Jerry cartoons stem from the fact that "cat and mouse" are very much in a food chain...well the mouse is..

To think I might not see those eyes, makes it so hard not to cry, and as we say our long goodbyes, I nearly do.

Madam Pearl went hunting today... She bagged herself a rabbit AND a mouse! :what:

Anyway, here's a photo I bagged of my little expert in action.  :evillaugh: Well, before she ate the mouse anyway. All that was left when she'd finished was the tail and back feet...  :sick:
