my mums best hunter (Mazza) is toothless and keeps bringing them back alive, just a bit gummed so she regularly has to release some slightly disturbed and soggy animals! The other one (Kwami) brings back chains of sausages, koi carp, gammon steak, whiskas pouches (which my mum doesn't buy) and one christmas, half a turkey! she is always so proud of her 'catches' though, I do feel sorry for her neighbours!

A couple of years ago I kept hearing a dull thud at the catlap and when went into kitchen it was Dillon trying to get a magpie through it sideways, the frustrated look on his face was priceless.  I too hate the predatory part of cat's behaviour, but after over a decade of rescuing birds and rodents which invariably die of shock I've had to get used to it.  Once had a baby rat (5in plus tail) brought in and let go in the kitchen, took my 3 boys another 4 days to catch it.  :shify:

I just went through to the bedroom for the first time for hours and nearly stepped on not one but two little birdies, I think a blue tit or similar, one of them was much smaller than the other :(

I know it was Chilli, Dave just plays with someone elses kill. I know she loves me but if she insists on bringing them in dead I do wish she would just eat them instead of disembowelling them and leaving them in the middle of the floor.

How can you be so calm!!!!!!

:evillaugh: 5 years of experience unfortunately!

The funniest was when I walked into the lounge more than a little tddly after a night out to be confronted by Little Miss chasing a mouse around. Queue a comedy sequence of me scrabbling around on my hands and knees in my Saturday night finery trying to catch the mouse while stopping Little Miss getting to it!

The joys of having cats eh!

Oh no, she leaves the entrails hanging out, she doesn't eat any of it!

In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

She loves you!

Musr admit I dread the morning "special" miaow from Dillon this tme of year, although part of me is secretly pleased that he has still got the inclination to hunt because over the winter he has seemed really old and depressed.  Sometimes ends up like a Tom and Jerry cartoon in here chasing round petrified mice, although it was Digby who generally bought them in alive.  Dillon is more of a Gordon Ramsey and likes to prepare it for us! Specialities Wood pigeon, Magpie and Duck with a field mouse entree..... :sick:
