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!

Mine is far too lazy to bother with any of that hard work when she can just yell at me until food is presented. No reciprocal gifts for me, though she does occasionally help out with the odd house fly or moth. She does like to talk to birds through the window, from the comfort of the sofa

Girl cat used to bring baby rabbits in when we lived really rural and eat their heads under my bed. It became such a regular occurrence that we've roll over and go back to sleep until the crunching stopped.

In the early days, having grown up in London and not being 'versed' in country ways, I took one to the vet, which was still alive, only to be looked at like a fucking nutcase while he euthanised it.

If she brought a squirrel in, I'd fucking die.

My d cat once bought in an Edd the Duck hand puppet! We never found out where it came from! Bloody weirdo!

This thread is hysterical!!!

Cats are mean!!

Omg this thread has me in hysterics! So glad I don't have cats.

@saucyjane it's not cats that are a threat to birds it's man. Cats and birds have survived thousands of years together in a natural eqilibrium. Check out the effect pesticides has on insects (I'm sure in some places they r3corded a 75%drop). There is where birds are being threatened. Not your average pet moggy.

My black and white tom brought home a full grown rabbit. He was a Felecia type cat with a white bib, all his white was covered with blood his paws and face also. We thought a dog had had him until we found the half eaten rabbit in the middle of the lawn. Our other cat a tiny tabby came home making a racket one day with the tail and legs of a squirrel dangling out of her mouth she must have eaten the rest! Every night there would be a pile of mouse guts( average 8 piles) on our doorstep. One night opened the door thinking Delilah ( her name ) was there and there in the porch was an hedgehog eating a toad headfirst a a sight I can't un see

A fox????
*A FUCKING FOX?????

She's giving me the finger now by not coming in - fucker

I wonder if this counts also the tom used to go through our neighbours open windows and. Pinch any chicken that he could. We once heard our next but one neighbour shouting out the back, turns out he had pinched his chicken fresh from the grill and was on his flat roof eating it. Lucky for him we moved soon after to a detached house a small distance from others as he was threatened a few times.

My cat has never caught anything! Just looks at birds menacingly through the window as if to say "you're lucky this glass is in the way "!

Tom also caught the dog by the eyelid after she had ran at him she couldn't move and the cat had to be detached from the dog by my DH as the cat wasn't going to let go. The dog always give way to him after that, he was a mean cat at the best of times he wasn't afraid of anything

I remembered another - same Tom cat once had s good chew on a bee he found and his face blew up like a balloon ! He was a nutter, I miss him lots.

The Bengal we have now is useless he's an indoor cat but a fly landed a ft away and he just watched no effort at all

My late beloved one eyed cat made friends with the mouse that arrived with a Christmas tree one year. She was a useless hunter. Current teenage cat clicks in a most alarming manner at all the birds and frogs out the window so I'm expecting gross things when she's released in the good weather

He once launched himself at the window after a crow flew over the house and was stuck on the net and had to be rescued!

Cats are awful - why would anyone want one as a pet?

Because cats make life interesting!

I've not got a cat but once saw next door's massive lady (queen?) cat have a go at a sparrowhawk. It was lurking under the birdtable, sparrowhawk zoomed down for a sparrow or something and cat went for the sparrowhawk. I have no idea how the hawk got away, I thought it was a gonner, but it was a bit quicker and cat, hawk and tiny bird all went their separate ways.

That cat was a menace though, also not very bright, it got badly hurt going after a hedgehog once.

To your cat - respect!

Magpie's are vermin, but way too big for most cats to kill. Mine confine themselves to the usual small fry, plus squirrels and the occasional pigeon. Twice they've brought in an adder. Dead both times fortunately.

Cross post.

A sparrowhawk! Wow, that is seriously ambitious. One of mine lost his injured thrush to a Red Kite a few years ago. He thought better of fighting for it, fortunately.

My cat brought a mole in She sat there proudly in front of this thing which had claws as long as her legs like she expected me to be pleased. I still don't know how she escaped injury

Mind you, we had a previous cat who appeared to be a vegetarian. No mice, but lots of leaves, branches and flowers. Mostly tulips.

My cats haven't hunted much this year, but do tend to eat what they catch. I can't keep a collar on one of them though, she can remove a collar in approx 5 seconds.
Biggest thing ever was an adult rabbit, completely unharmed, so DH caught it and released it.
It's been cold and wet so they're happier indoors right now.
