to be horrified, HORRIFIED, by the particially regurgitated mouse my cat has left on my patio

Mice in their entirety I can cope with. They can be easily dealt with using a spade. Still gross but less gross than what is currently residing on my patio.
The only mouse bit left complete is the tail. The rest is in small pieces. What the hell shall I do with it? Leave it and hope something else even more disgusting than my cat comes and eats it?

I feel a bit sick thinking about it.

Awww he save you a bit Smile

You should be happy at such a gift, your poor cat

WorraLiberty · 21/01/2012 23:08

Flick it over next door's fence? Grin

Leave it. Hopefully it will be gone by the morning. Or it might rain and rinse the bits down the drain .

  1. Find cat
  2. Take dump on cat's head

Thought about hosing down patio but was worried it would just spread mouse entrails everywhere.
The worst bit is the fucking tail. It is just disgusting. I had 'car crash syndrome' where I didnt want to look at the poor eaten little creature but couldn't help myself from examining it.

Just grab a sheet of newspaper, scoop up the corpse and stick it in the wheelie bin.

Otherwise the cat might bring it into the house next time it goes out.

Okay, some bastard one has to say it - don't have a DC (darling cat) if you don't like dead mice.

Mind you, my dog used to do this, with those really big house spiders you get - chew 'em up and spit them back out - on your leg - still twitching.

Auntiestablishment · 21/01/2012 23:16

The 2 most horrifying things the cats have brought me:

  1. a rat's head.

  2. a huge horror frog, which dessicated before I found it.

The mice are generally fine, even if a bit chewed.

fullofregrets · 21/01/2012 23:16

It's not dead mice, I can cope with dead love and even headless mice it is liquidised mice I am less keen on.

Feeling a bit queasy again now.

One of ours brought back a pigeon once.

She's got balls of steel.

fullofregrets · 21/01/2012 23:17

Dead mice, not dead love!
Although my love for my cat may be dead.

Was the pigeon dead?!

Ours sometimes leaves a mouse bereft of it's head with the feet, tail and entrails loose. When you try and wash the intestines away they start to unravel.

It also once vomited up a whole duckling under the kitchen table. I ran out of the room and left DH to sort that out.

We've now moved away from the house near the pond. Ducks can sleep safe.

overthehillmum · 21/01/2012 23:21

Just be grateful that it's not a regurgitated rabbit head, in your dining room, only discovered by your 70 year old mother, the body having been deposited, headless, obviously, outside the backdoor, which she stumbles over rushing out to get some fresh air a Fag

Still love my cat. My mother has her reservations. My cream carpet has never recovered.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 21/01/2012 23:21

My cat brought a lovely Robin Shock oh the shame, the horror! Have now got two bells on his collar.

full i did think of leaving the bastard. I know how you feel.

It was dead, she couldn't actually lift it up so had to do a dead mans drag along the floor. Managed to get it through the catflap though Hmm cheers cat.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 21/01/2012 23:23

Jolly do you the beast of Bodmin Moor?? A whole bloody duckling any orange sauce. Terrifying.

Sparklingbrook · 21/01/2012 23:24

Sparkling cat brought me a headless magpie. My old cat many years ago brought me a goldfish. Sad

ThePathanKhansWitch · 21/01/2012 23:24

Do you have, even.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 21/01/2012 23:26

Sparkling so your cat can fish?Grin, is this a competitive Ninja Cat Thread?

Sparklingbrook · 21/01/2012 23:27

I have no idea Pathans. It was a really big fish with a chomp out of it's side. Sad

SpaghettiTwirlerAndProud · 21/01/2012 23:28

Well, look on the bright side. At least it wasn't left on your pillow!

fullofregrets · 21/01/2012 23:28

over I am very very glad it was not a rabbit's head. I would have required therapy to recover from that horror I suspect.
Baby duckings would have a similar effect.
Maybe my cat will be a house cat.
