I could quite happily not have cats sometimes..


..especially when in the space of one day you've had the corpse's of six mice and a wood pigeon to dispose of.
Both the girls have been out all day making the most of the sunshine, i think my life would be so much easier with house cats

Lol I am with you there Luke! I get birds, mice and frogs

I have to say tho, I am impressed with the wood pigeon - they aren't small!

Re: I could quite happily not have cats sometimes..


when we first lived here my 2 went on a killing spree. i was keeping a tally in the end. was getting too much in the end.
one bird they killed i wasnt happy about, they killed a robin. dare not tell the neighbours they are all bird nuts around here.
now if i can train my 2 to attack the nasty neighbour id be very happy.

At least you are getting the full corpse. Tucker has a thing lately about bringing in random innards.

Oh i wish it was just that, we get everything really
Mice, rats, toads, frogs, shrew type things, rabbits, pigeons, every bird imagineable including ducklings sometimes, the odd squirrel, occasionally bats, and that makes the usual row of hunting trophys my darling moggies choose to bestow to us.

Re: I could quite happily not have cats sometimes..


I never get anything!!! The joy of having an enclosed garden.

When an injured bird found its way into my garden the cats had no idea what to do with it They watched it and batted at it with their paws, but really didn't have a clue. I tried to save the bird and lifted it up high so that it could fly away, but it must have had an injury and plummeted straight back into the garden

Poor bird. The cats didn't kill it - but I think the shock did

That is why I could never have a house cat. The pure pleasure they get from hunting and triumphantly bringing home their catch. I just think that's what cats were born for. Now shoot me
