    My mates cat (well one of them, she has two) catches frogs.

    best thing about it is she keeps a dustpan and brush handy - and puts rubber gloves on...

    trying to remember now just who it was told me about their cat triumphantly hauling a snake home...I *think* it was a grass snake.

    One of our cats proudly came home with a Koi carp. My mum looked up and saw her walking along the fence with it in her mouth :eek:

    Another time she caught our neighbours prize racing pigeon :(

    Our other cat Penny use to steal our cuddly toys and drop them in the neighbours garden my mum would have to go knocking to get them back :p

    After reading all your posts, I think I've changed my mind about the friendship thing.

    I don't want my dog being led astray or being taught hunting habits thank you very much.

    I like the big sap the way he is.

    My two young'uns used to catch earthworms when I first got them, I would wake up in the morning and the house was littered with them, I even stepped on one getting out of bed once :eek:, some were alive and some dead, I'd rescue the live ones only to find them deposited back again five minutes later.

    They then moved on to frogs, all dead by the time I found them :( but haven't had anything for a couple of months, hopefully its all over, hmm doubt it.
    LOL I had a cat who would do that, she'd leave them right were I my feet would go getting out of bed! She always left them alive though. She once brought a parsnip in and wouldnt leave loose of it as if she had brought home a big kill!
    I've had frogs too, you'ld be watching the tv and out would pop a frog from the tv cabinet and I am terrified of frogs!!
    Those cats are dead now, but I have a giggle at the memories of them totally freaking me out!!

    but, in the spirit of MSE, once you got it off of her, did you make soup out of it?

  • Awww these "best hunt prize" stories remind me of my Bellamy cat (RIP). On a warm, spring Sunday afternoon he brought home a still-steaming, whole freshly cooked chicken and tried to get it through the catflap. We think someone is still looking for the meat they left to rest on the kitchen side.
    If you found this post useful please will you click "thank you"? It cheers me up. :j

    My black cat Sweep did that only I was walking past saw him shoot out of a neighbour round the corners house with the chicken in his mouth and the neighbour chasing after him :eek:

    How on earth can a cat carry a chicken. :rotfl:

    You'd think it would be too big and/or heavy. Or hot. :D
