I think my cat stole someone's Sunday lunch

[Duckingella]

Just that really

My cat has just turned up on my patio with a small roasted chicken in his greedy mouth.

He has form for sneaking into neighbours houses through doors and we windows.

I can't really go knocking on doors to ask if anyone is moving missing their dinner

Mortified doesn't cover it

😂🤣

My cat brought a sandwich home once 🤣

My cat was similarly lazy. He proudly deposited a dead mouse on the carpet - thing was it was attached to a mouse trap 🙄

It's when you pop into your spare bedroom and there are bright blue budgie feathers all over the carpet...

Actually I think I'd rather have known what happened to my hamster..rather than be distressed thinking it was fending for itself outside!

One of my Siamese cats used to bring home fairy cakes, and the other, gardening gloves which you were expected to throw for him to retrieve. We lived out in the country and only had a few neighbours. Very embarrassing! 🙈

This post has made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

just waiting for a seperate post now from someone saying “ my chicken went missing ! “ 🤣

One of our cats loves watermelon. DH has food issues and watermelon is the only thing he eats in the morning. Every morning for the past 5-6 years. The cat waits until he has finished and drinks the juice. It's got to the stage that he has started to prepare a few diced bits of watermelon of her own. We googled it as we were worried it might be a problem but turns out it is really quite common.

I had a joint enterprise crime. mr cat knocked remains of a very expensive joint of lamb onto the floor, and he and his canine pal feasted on it.

Cat also brought back a range of wildlife including a live pigeon and a stoat ( expired)

I suspect the words 'just leaving the roast on the side to rest' are a siren call to a certain sort of cat.

Love him to bits. 🐈‍⬛

One of our cats brought home two raw sausages in a plastic bag! No idea where he got them from but someone must have lost their dinner!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ha ha that’s gd, we once had someone’s dog jump and eat our picnic food 🤣 good job found it funny owner was mortified

The most my cat ever brought me was ruddy garden worms! The trog lol

One of our cats (a beautiful tabby, sadly missed) brought us a slow worm, which she promptly bit in half. The sight of it still moving around, despite having been bisected, is not one that I'll forget in a hurry!

Someone I know was gifted half a roast leg of lamb one Easter Sunday afternoon. The cat carried it proudly down the garden path to the back door and dropped it at her feet. It had a little grass and mud on it, maybe from being dragged, maybe from being dropped as the cat scaled the garden wall. The recipient was horrified but cut off a bit for the cat before binning it. (The meat, not the cat).

Our Labrador stole a fisherman's lunch , she also stole a whole packet of biscuits from someone's picnic but her best theft was a whole box of cat biscuits . She was found lying on the floor groaning with very a very swollen belly . One of the cats bought a live baby rabbit home and sat under the table with it , washing it like a kitten.

My dog ate 1lb lentils & then proceeded to pebbledash neighbors gable wall 😂

Are you sure that she was washing it? She might have been tenderising it!

😂

We've had cats doing that.

We thought they were tasting it . . .

My cat, fortunately or unfortunately ( not sure now after reading some of these 😂 ) sticks to mice and voles. He did outdo himself once though by bringing home a live bat. Luckily for me catface had been holding the bat gently under his paw until his yowls of triumph brought me downstairs to see what the fuss was about so I was easily able to transfer it to a box. I took it to a vet who passed it onto a local bat specialist. It was released unharmed 2 days later but only after I’d had a phone call asking if I’d been bitten as bats can sometimes carry virus’s 😂. I hadn’t ( couldn’t speak for the cat though) and I was more interested in how he’d caught it in the first place. They were as baffled as I was as it’s very unusual for a cat to catch a healthy adult bat. It was a daubenton’s bat for anyone interested and they live near water. I live about 600m from a canal.

Every morning at around 7:20am my cat strolls through the cat flap with a half chewed pouch of Felix in his mouth. It's become a novelty for us at breakfast waiting for him to arrive. It's been going on for about 4 months now. No idea which house he's pinching from and am too ashamed to post it on the neighbourhood fb page.
I cant believe the house he's stealing from haven't cottoned onto it yet.

They probably say to each other - "It's that fecking cat again! Throw him a pouch of Felix, Harold/ Inge, otherwise he'll have the bacon again"

I have to keep our cat food pouches in a metal tin, shut in a cupboard, else my own bloody cats steal them!

They haven't (yet) brought home anyone else's felix pouch, so I'm confident it isn't my cat that's stealing yours!

We have had to knock on neighbours before to say we've just seen one of our cats climbing in through their windows (thankfully for them and us, they've now had air con installed in their house, so summer open windows are a thing of the past!) and another neighbour said one of our cats wandered in to her bedroom one morning when she was having a cup of tea in bed!

Other than possibly the sound of a cat vomiting, is there anything that will wake you up quicker in the middle of the night than a cat's yowls of pride to be presenting you with their latest gift?!

I can imagine one of mine catching a live bat. She's so quick if something flies over her and can leap far higher than you'd think. We have bats near us and I have seen her watching them in the garden, so it's a real distinct possibility that she might bring one home one day.

She's not generally a hunter (that's her sister's job), but she'll always try and catch a bird if it gets too close. She's managed to catch a wren and a robin so far. The robin lived to see another day (though did looks rather scraggy for a while!), but the poor little wren didn't.

Her sister is a mouse machine though, which is pretty handy to be fair. It's just annoying when she brings them in alive and even more annoying when they die under your furniture and you don't realise for a few days 😷

My friends used to live near a ford and it was well populated with voles. Her cats didn't seem to like the tails, so the amount of times I'd hear "bloody hell - another vole's arse!" when I stayed!
