Wait until she brings it to you in bed!!!!!!

OMG....don't mention that....I had a live mouse in the bed the other week!! :eek:

I hasten to add....I don't normally...the cat brought it in!:)

It's quite disconcerting too when a frog covered in fluff hops out from under your settee!

Lol, ive managed to keep mine busy with a roast leg of lamb. It was the leftovers from Sunday lunch. One tip I will give you!! Never leave garlic in it, you get totally rank farts from her, not me!!

Sigh... 2 weeks of bliss full peace and quiet without dead things and now 4 dead presents in a day! :eek:

Ours have had a rest over the winter - fortunately, we've two fully grown and two seven month old kittens, the kittens have started on the earth worms, the other two in their time have done pigeons, rabbits (the wife found half of one under the bed whilst we were making it by putting her foot inside it), rats and all sorts. Last couple of mornings I have found a stomach on the hall floor,

We've a chicken farm near us - I'm dreading the day, although it would save a trip to tescos.....

I think bats must be on special offer at the moment - we've had 2 bought in today! one had a mangled wing so is at the Vets at the moment but OH manageed to rescue the other one and set it free.

We live on a housing estate and I've never seen a bat here so I've no idea where the cats are getting them from, especially as the first one was bought to us in daylight. If my cats have found where the bats are roosting we'll have a house full of them!

I woke up to my cat with a dead budgie this morning in the kitchen. Lucky she doesn't eat them just kills, and plays with them. She scooted off out with it again, my neighbour said she dumped it under there washing line.

I'd rather my cat ate them, save us having to dispose of them then. Jimmy just kills them and throws them around in the garden before leaving them.

Very MSE to let the cat eat her kills - save a bit on cat food!

This thread reminded me of the cockatiel we had when I was a child which was found headless one morning on the bottom of the cage. He had stuck his head out of the bars and had it removed by one of the cats... My parents didn't have a bird again for many years, and then it was a parrot with at least some chance of defending itself!

No one seems to have mentioned caterpillars yet?
One of my cats, Jessie, brings me at least two a night,big fat green things, usually around 3-4am, i actually get up and go and put them back outside!

It was usually mice, squirrels and birds up until recently when we moved.

She did have a live mouse the other week and i always try and rescue her 'goodies' if they are still looking half decent, Jess was hissing and growing while i tried to get this poor little thing out of her mouth..little !!!!!! bit me and hung off my thumb for ages :eek: , not a scratch on it (the mouse not me), just a bit of slobber :rotfl:

If only! She came in from eating her 3rd kill and stood by her food bowl until i relented!! She would literally eat me out of house and home.
