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!

blue to be honest I'm glad mine hunt to eat. My sister's cat brings in all sorts of small mammals alive and just plays with them catching them releasing charming catching again. It's like torture for the wee things.

Mine would do both Delilah was the worst for playing with her food she was too fast to save them usually and would grab and growl and slink away. Tom cat was a typically male fast eater

I heard a bright colour ruff is more effective than a bell. Also it would amazing.

@bitzy12 that's a lovely story!

@Pumpkintopf they were such lazy fat cats it was unreal. They were looking at it like 'I've caught you but I cannot be arsed to do anything else with you.....remove yourself from my bowl' like they were king and queen or something lol. The mouse/rat was clearly knackered after eating all the cat food so it just joined them after for a snooze

Burst I am sure that no mouse or rat would need to worry about my Bengal boy. I think I would end up dealing with any visitors I think instinct has past him by, either that or he thinks the staff will deal with it.

B I t s y sorry I phone and me not getting on this morning!

During the snow recently I was admiring two beautiful golden browny coloured birds that were obviously a pair. They were flitting from branch to branch fussing over one another. I even took a video because against the back drop of the snow it looked lovely.
And What did fat gingerboy bring in an hour or so later and leave dead in the hallway 😔. I had images of the other bereaved bird searching for its mate.

stolemy are you in Britain? (Said advisedly, Ireland doesn't have snakes) It doesn't sound like a native species! I think your cat might have brought in someone's escapee pet!

I've got 20 cats. I also have about 50 hens, ducks and peacocks - all free range. When the hens have chicks, the cats give them a wide berth. Yet these same cats spend their lives hunting pheasants, among other things. How can they tell that the poultry is not to be touched, yet the pheasants that hang out with the poultry is fair game???

DH is now annoyed with our cat. She had her vets appointments. He just spent 30 mins playing cat hide and seek. He has just admitted defeat Cat 1, DH 0

Several years ago,my DD's cat managed to catch a BAT. She was living in a 2nd floor flat at the time,with just a small balcony,leading off from the kitchen. It was summer,and about 11pm. The balcony door was open as it was very warm. DD was in her bedroom and heard a commotion in the hallway. She went to investigate and found the cat chasing a bat. Luckily,DD managed to trap it by throwing a tea towel over it then released it,thankfully unharmed. I just can't imagine the skill required for the cat to have managed to catch a bat as it just happened to flutter past the balcony.

We had one cat growing up who killed birds on a regular basis. Then the cat had a collar with a bell as did the other cats later on, problem solved.

Though getting the cat to accept a collar with a bell was a trial.

Remember a cat owns you, not the other way around!

My Siamese cat was very naughty, he brought all sorts through the cat flap. I'll name a few!

Live baby rabbit left in kitchen overnight. Live grass snake, live grass hopper, numerous mice, a bird that he let go and it shit all over the house, I was dolled up to go to a wedding to. I saved it and he went out and caught another one!

The worst was a whole live partridge which he beheaded in my kitchen, it was also like a murder scene!

A whole string of raw sausages, a whole chicken carcass, lamp chops off a BBQ.

He would also steal food, he loved a Chinese take away and ate two frozen chicken burgers I left out. He also cost me £90 in the emergency vet for a burn on his tongue when he stole some chops from under the grill. Quietest he's ever been as he was in agony.

I miss the little shit he was! 😻

I'd hate to think what horrors we'd wake up to if my cats had unlimited access to a cat flap! It was bad enough finding the evidence of the mouse hunt frenzy on the doorstep every morning.
