To want to drown the chuffin cat?

This is after the furry bastard turned my dining room into an improvised morg, like the ones the police use when there's been a mass murder. It contained 2 dead mice, a dead frog and a dead robin. All of which were discovered by my 2 year old who came to tell me, " Mummy a mousy is sleeping in the dining room." I was only in there this morning doing paperwork and it was corpse free then so the slaughter occurred while I was at work. I was then forced to act as a wildlife undertaker and transport the deceased to the wheelie bin.
That cat is a gingery nightmare!

That is an impressive array of victims. Your cat clearly loves you very much Grin

At least you put yours in the wheelie bin. I was a bit flustered when a small child presented me with a large freshly killed rat, and I think I put it in the recycling bin...

Your cat loves you. Grin Check out on my profile what present I got. Fortunately outside though.

You want to drown your chuff in cat? Eww

LeBonkeyMollocks · 13/06/2012 19:26

Awww your cat luffs you :)

Don't be mad, be happy Grin

LeBonkeyMollocks · 13/06/2012 19:27

Sparkling

What the hell is that? A snake?

I'm well impressed.

My old cat could barely catch a worm Grin

DoesItComeInBlack · 13/06/2012 19:50

I wouldn't mind if he'd bring in something useful, like that pheasant that was striding around on the back lawn earlier.

I'm not sure he does bring them back for me, I think he's merely storing them for later, for a snack.

Yep, a snake LeBonkey. She loves us. Grin

DoesItComeInBlack · 14/06/2012 08:36

Another mouse this morning, and a song thrush.

He loves you so much. Grin Perhaps he thinks you aren't eating enough. Wink

SpagboLagain · 14/06/2012 10:33

I have just moved a large pigeon from outside the back door. I suspect he couldn't get it through the catflap. I am so lucky.

WorraLiberty · 14/06/2012 10:35

My old cat used to jump through our lounge window with chips in his mouth and drop them in my lap?! Confused

Obviously he didn't think enough of me to share the fish scraps he used to scrounge from round the back of the chippy...

What Rabbitee said plus I assume your cat has a bell on it's collar and is just a super catcher.

Macchiato · 14/06/2012 11:23

That's very impressive sparkling! You're cat is ninja hunter Grin

Even if a mouse walked up to my cat brandishing a "eat me I'm tasty" banner and moonying him, whilst dancing the samba on his paws, my cat STILL wouldn't be able to catch it.

It's funny watching him try though, he's bright ginger, like day glo orange, stalking up to a pigeon. Bet the pigeons thinking "I'll sit here for a bit and pretend I haven't seen the orange idiot"

OP that's an impressive morgue! Maybe lock the cat flap? Grin on the plus side, it's ment to be a gift for you, so at least he's showing his love Wink

Macchiato · 14/06/2012 11:27

Did he really go scrounging from the back of the chippy Worra ? Grin

Now that's the kind of thing my cat would do, properly lazy. And he knows how to work people

Sparklingbrook · 14/06/2012 11:29

I would prefer chips to a live snake. I will have a word with Sparkling Cat. Grin

sereneswan · 14/06/2012 11:30

Hehe so glad I don't have this from my daft lazy girls. They either miaow at birds (great hunting tactic!), duck while they fly over, or actually run away (we have some very large pigeons).

The other day my tabby crouched on the lawn in some half-arsed approximation of a stalking position while two magpies happily trotted round her. In the end they started playing a game, launching themselves off the fence right in front of her nose, presumably to see how long it would take her to try to catch them.

VIX1980 · 14/06/2012 11:31

Sparkling ive just nearly gone into labour laughing at you invisible mother photo Grin.

Sparklingbrook · 14/06/2012 11:33

VIX when the thread came up I said 'lets all do a photo' all enthusiastic. I have yet to see anyone elses. Angry Grin

WorraLiberty · 14/06/2012 11:34

He did, Macchiato Grin

And I can only assume he scrounged from the back of the Chinese take away too...because he also emerged through the window with a king prawn in his mouth!

Macchiato · 14/06/2012 12:03

Ahahaha that's absolutley brilliant Worra hes not stupid is he Grin not ginger by any chance?

Chinwag · 14/06/2012 12:05

I put a bell on my cats. The mice get advance warning!!

Clytaemnestra · 14/06/2012 12:11

I thought it wasn't that they loved you, I thought it was because they pitied your hunting skills and were showing their superiority at catching things. Not giving you presents.

I find that easier to believe with cats TBH. :)

Lancelottie · 14/06/2012 12:11

We tried bells. Somewhere in the garden there must be an impressive stack of scraped-off collars and bells.

The only difference it made was the bloody animal switched to little, fluffy, not-yet-flying birds instead of big speedy ones.

She's ancient now but still likes to add to her death-collection occasionally. We've had
lizards
a mole
a bat
pigeons
rabbits
and a ferret. Still feel apologetic to the unknown ferret-lover.

Chinwag · 14/06/2012 12:18

WoW!!! She's amazing!! he he
