Half a mouse - just what I wanted.

It's wet, windy and unpleasant out there today, but Bill the Cat insists: "I wanna go out" - ok, so I open the door. Hurtle! Thirty seconds later he's back, and drops something at my feet. The bottom half of a mouse. Thanks mate! Just what I needed on a Sunday morning... What I want to know is, where did he get half a mouse that quick? There is no way he could locate, catch, kill and eat half a mouse in that time, so...why didn't the other cat / fox / pterodactyl eat that bit? :~

At least it was only a itty bitty 'half' mouse - we find Woger Wabbit mangled behind the tv on a regular basis. Guess the cat wants us to know she can look after herself and we should be thankful that she can provide for us. :doh: (The carcass invariably gets finised off after I toss it in the yard.) :thumbsup:

The previous cat was a fiend in fur: nothing living was safe. Dead stuff went in the river, live stuff in the farmers field on the other side of the road. For some reason, he liked bringing live moles home.

The mouse probably was left over from last night and he just wanted to go out and get it for you. ANd our old cat wanted to go out into bad weather as well. Strong wind and 'horizontal' rain. Cat stops at the door. Hesitates. Thinks it over and runs straight to the back door. Actually not a bad idea. Chances are good that you don't have bad weather at two doors at once :)

We have a portable cat flap: it is in a plank, and routed to fit into the sliding double-glazed patio door. That way, the cat can get in and out and the weather can't. Previous cat got the hang of it no problem - except when I took it out of the door. Then he found the portable cat flap leaning against a wall, went through it, and was most disgruntled to find he was still indoors... Took him about an hour to work it out!

If you really don't want him bringing home prey, put a bell around his neck. If he still brings it home, he's a fucking ninja! My girlfriend's cat would still catch prey with a bell, she was merciless and would disappear for months at a time on what I consider hunting trips, that or she had another family.

Beldin - our previous cat - had an extra bell added every time we changed his flea-collar. He used to break or lose them occasionally, but he had no trouble moving silently or hunting with half a dozen or so round his neck. They adapt very, very quickly. I don't mind dead things, it's the half-a-dead-thing or a live-thing-under-the-washing-machine that get to me! :laugh:

Agreed, the cat I am talking about would fully dissect everything. There would be a mouse head and front legs, then no fur for about a foot, just entrails and organs spread out in a line, then mouse back legs, tail, butt. It looked pretty serial killer.

I trust that is "pretty" as in "quite a bit" rather than "attractive in a delicate way". If not, then I am not visiting your place...

I meant the previous, though there is a certain aesthetic to it... :suss:
