The mighty hunter

[Toddlerteaplease]

This is Cheddar's idea of stalking a bird! I don't think he has much to worry about!

He might have been lulling the bird into a false sense of security

He would then pounce and bye bye birdie!

Don’t underestimate him

Fiercely hunted this corn cobette. Which is already eaten

Damn I want to bury my face in that floofy belly of hers!

@Allergictoironing this one? And some toe floofs for good measure.

Yeah, that floofy belly. But I do prefer the chocolate toe beans on my pair, which aren't floofy but are such a fantastic colour.

My parents big had lovely marbled toebeans

Well, she very nearly caught a bird tonight. It was a bit to quick for her!

There’s always next time. Lots of naive fledglings around now.

My cat was very pleased when she gifted me a 'kill' (we had to praise her even though she'd gifted me the slice of bread I'd thrown out for the birds 😉). She's a British Shorthair and fortunately useless at hunting so I could could feed the birds without any worries. However we now have two cats that love chasing birds so our bird feeding days are long gone.

My cat killed a bird a few weeks ago.
She is now really regretting it because she has to wear a really loud bell on her collar. So she has had to resort to just hunting feathers

If either of them ever manage to catch anything I'll die of shock!

He must be roasting in this heat!

Eugh Cheddar has just bought the bird in. I nearly burned the house down!

😂

Welcome to cat ownership.

Next week;

Mice.

Followed by

Furballs
Vomiting in your shoes/suitcases
Peeling open your eyelids when you are asleep but they need fooooooood
Burping in your face
‘Who’s that cat over there - there - no there...’

Worktops;

Food prep area or multipurpose cat bed/vantage point, food scavenging territory.

Maybe she’ll show her sister how to Hunt too.

Fortunately she can't jump onto the worktops.
She vomits on my freshly washed bed sheets.
And I have rarely had an uninterrupted nights sleep since she came home. (2 years ago on the 15th!)

Hopefully no mice. I have a rodent phobia. The bird was bad enough

Was it dead?.

Not quite. Probably not helped by me treading on it. It is now dead.

Harry went through a frog stage many years ago. I was getting ready for bed when I heard a funny noise in the living room and when I went to look there was a frog hopping around.

On another occasion I was in the loo and saw a huge spider in the corner. I was hoping Harry hadn't seen it but he had and chased it towards me. I leapt up and waddled out of the bathroom with my jeans around my ankles only to come across a frog bleeding out in the hall. I never did know what happened to the missing leg but I have my suspicions...

She heard you dissing her hunting skills by the looks of it.

Ollie has still never caught anything

Shush, he will know you’ve said that and activate his murder button.

I'm afraid ours are all murderous little bastards. Voles, shrews, mice and (less commonly) rats on a daily basis. Birds, bats and rabbits are occasional fare.
We generally bury the bodies at sea (throw them in the river) if they are still in one piece...
