Your cats first 'hunting trophy'


I was wondering if you all remember your past/present cats first 'hunting trophy'. It seems a grim matter to discuss but in a way, i suppose, its sort of when you notice that your kitten isnt as soft, cuddly and dependant on you, and that infact your wee kitten is growin up. So can you remember your cats first hunting trophy?
Clementine was about 6 months old and one day brought back a sparrow, al be it it wasnt dead and ended up getting stuck up our old chimney , but still this was her first 'trophy'.
Elsa caught her first mouse yesterday afternoon, she was on the patio one minute then the next she came totting in, tail up, round face looking smug and a mousey in her gob, naturally i had it dropped on my feet which wasnt that nice


So can you remember your cat bringing back their first 'hunting trophy'?

Not really a 'hunting' trophy as such but.....

Moli kitty gave me a leaf

She was outside and I could see her 'stalking' something. She comes through the back door with this leaf hanging out of her mouth and promptly drops it at me feet purring away and rubbing herself against my leg

Re: Your cats first 'hunting trophy'


Being mainly indoors, no real trophies. Good job too as I'm terrified of birds/feathers!!

Balie did catch a bird in mid-air once (hubby was the witness to that). Bird died of fright

Fifi caught a dragonfly a good few years ago when she was less fat and more nimble (and could be bothered). She snapped it's body in half so I had to finish it off

Re: Your cats first 'hunting trophy'


I remember one cat we had when we first got married called Tikka. When she was about 12 weeks old she stole my pink feather duster, she was killing it under my daughters cot & when I went to take it off her she growled like a lion! I didn't even know cats could growl at that point!

Then when she was a bit older (not much older) she came home with a pigeon, it was much bigger than her (literally)

Now we just get mice & frogs from Smudge & the occasional bird. We did have a lovely white racing tumbler pigeon in our house once but hubby managed to rescue it & passed it over the fence to the pigeon man explaining how it must have flown in through the consevatory & that it was not injured but seemed in shock. It was only minutes later we found all the white feathers behind the settee & saw a cheeky Smudge not too far from them
