To be pissed off with my cat

[MozzchopsThirty]

I'm ok when she kills little shrews or small birds, that's what cats do!

Today I got home to what can only be described as a murder scene!!!!!
She had dragged a magpie through the utility room window, it was as big as her!
There was blood everywhere and I mean everywhere, all over the white goods, pools of it on the floor, all up the door, the walls, it was hideous
The bird was twitching on the floor, I got it outside and had to phone the RSPCA as it was suffering but I couldn't kill it!
Ds2 traumatised and wants to bury it tomorrow

It took me 2 hours to clean up, I've locked the cat out and I'm so pissed off!

Eughhh

I came home to a pigeon strewn across my living room once. Like intestines everywhere.

Cats are grim

I feel your pain. My tiny cat managed to bring in a pigeon yesterday. It was dead by the time it got through the cat flap but there were bloody imprints of wings on our white back door.

YANBU. Being pissed off with your cat seems a very reasonable default state. It's usually reciprocated.

Had to euthanise a robin today after bastard cat dragged it in

My boy cat tried to catch a magpie.

The screeches from the bird caused his mates to swoop in en masse from around the county, it was like a scene from the birds, I’ve never heard such a racket. He released the bird from his clutches and made it into the house unscathed .

Your cat must be harder than a coffin nail.

Does she wear a bell? If not it's time to get her one. Bells reduce the amount of prey they catch.

I saw a cat catch a pigeon last week, shot right into the air and grabbed poor pigeon by the neck and carried it away, it was almost as big as the cat. I felt sorry for that poor cat owner, luckily I’ve only been brought little birds and mice so far which have only caused small smears of blood on my wooden floors.

Bells reduce the amount of prey they catch

Bastard cat wears a bell. So far in the last month he has caught:
1 blackbird
2 squirrels
1 robin
countless mice
a handful of frogs
and 1 racing pigeon

Not sure the bell is helping

Mine got a squirrel once, no idea how though he was a big Tom cat. Dragged it through the cat flap - total carnage. Also raided the neighbour's pond for koi carp and kindly left them still gasping on my bed.

This was DD's room this morning when she woke up. She was very unimpressed to find a dead bird on top of her clothing.

They only seem to take the gifts to her room. Usually just worms at this stage.

I'm dreading this! Our cats haven't been hunting much during the cold and rain (sleeping in our cosy beds, mostly), but now that it's getting ever so slightly, on occasion warmer, they will be bringing more "presents" home. ghhaarrrgggllhhgg

The only big thing my graceless cat managed to "catch" was an already flattened and dried out bird that he had presumably scraped off the road. I think he must have folded it to get it through the cat flap. I found cardboard like chunks of it in the kitchen and sitting room for a while afterwards :(

Squirrels @QueenDoris 😱😱 WTF!!!!!!!!

I never thought I'd be pissed at an animal but that was fucking unnecessary and has upset ds2
I've sworn at her through the window like a crazy lady pointing my finger and going 'you can just FUCK OFF'

Thank goodness mine is an indoor cat! Though she has a cat run attached and still somehow has managed to kill a bird and a few mice that have managed to get in the run.

We had a mole brought in once too, forgot about that.

@MozzchopsThirty

Oh yes, squirrels. He once let one go in the house, it ran around pissing, shitting and bleeding everywhere until it ran head first into the printer and got stuck. I had to grab its back legs and yank it out. Then put it out of its misery. That was fun

Keep them indoors. You are allowing a predator to destroy our wildlife.

One of ours brings us.... leaves. She's only 10 months old though, so there is still time. She likes to sit under the bird feeder and wonder why the birds don't come

Mine is an indoor cat thankfully but my cat as a child wasn’t and one day we got home to find he had killed and left a Falcon in the front garden. Yes, a fucking Falcon... must’ve been someone’s pet or something. My DGM’s cat brought a live robin in once and we spent an hour chasing it out of the house- nightmare.

Does she wear a bell? If not it's time to get her one. Bells reduce the amount of prey they catch.

I hate bells on cats. Would you like to 'jingle' every time you move? Thought not. It would drive you potty.
I used to part own a cat (Was my mums, would come and visit me and stay.), Billy, he used to hunt sock monsters from under the bed.

One of mine once brought in an adder . She literally dumped it right by youngest ds who was a baby in his bouncy chair, no idea how it didn't bite her!

I once saw a cat dragging a seagull flapping!

Forgot when I was a teen our cat brought in a Guinea pig! also a battered sausage

They are EVIL!!!

I had a cat that had a thing about bringing me presents.
Little dickhead was the size of a 6month old kitten at 3, so looked cute and unassuming. He brought birds in through the cat flap that were easily 3-4 times the size of him.
Notably, two pigeons- one dead dumped at the inside of the back door- he’d gone to all the trouble of killing it and bringing it in, and just went out for more.
We had many live birds flying and shitting in our lounge (I’m a bit bird phobic, it was at that point I realised...) fuck me they were hard to get out.

The last time, he brought home a pigeon through the cat flap that was fighting him. He head butted it, smacked it a few times and it lay there dazed. I ran, got a towel, dropped it over the bird and ran crying into my garden. Handed it to my neighbour who checked it over and set it free.

That cat was an absolute twat.

Mine thankfully tend to stop at mice, voles etc although we have had the odd reservoir dogs moment with the occasional pigeon. It does mean I never leave my clothes lying around on the floor as I once picked up my jeans, put them on my bed and a mouse jumped out of them as I picked them up to put them on. Scared me (and tbf the mouse as well most likely) half to death ......
