The last thread filled up very quickly, mainly thanks to Gizmo's adventures. He is now a fully-fledged Excellent Cat.

And it's allegedly summertime so Ho for the Hols!

Did he suck it up like spaghetti @TheShellBeach?

Yes, she did.
It horrified and fascinated me in equal measure.

I wish ours would do that. Recently I've been regularly greeted on thr doorstep by the very messy back ends of poor random rodents that my murderous little sods have eviscerated. I'd much prefer them to eat the lot, rather than just the front half. 🤮

Funny how a whole mouse could fit inside though

Our cat McVicar once ate a whole mouse in one go. No chewing, no dismembering, just swallowed it whole. Head first.

Eventually just the mouse's tail protruded from McVicar's mouth, then it, too, was swallowed.

I feel slightly sick at the mere thought of that!🤮
Luckily my two have never been very successful hunters.
Matt was carrying a toy in his mouth earlier while giving that triumphant “I’ve got something” howl they do when they catch something. Yeah, it’s just a toy, Matt. Don’t pretend you’ve caught your own lunch.

A previous cat, Koko, used to walk round with a logo bug in her mouth making that warbling noise. She'd also snuggle up with them.

I know right, I should be sent to cat jail! I'm a mean mama🫠

So many newcomers! Welcome.

Walter won't leave me alone today. He's either lying on my legs causing them to lose all feeling, or sitting on the arm of the sofa giving me a judgy look. Really not sure what I've done wrong!

Benny is just being a daft little orange, as usual.

Was McVicar part python?

Love their neckwear! Bow ties and proper ties: are they going somewhere elegant?

No, but my eccentric sister used to own a snake, and she kept its frozen mice right next to the fish fingers in her freezer.
I never ate at her house.

@Pudmyboy I saw them in pets at home and couldn't resist. The tie certainly added something today when Walt was giving me his judgy look!

Kishmish did that once. Minouche brought her a mouse and dropped it in front of her in a way that deffo said "get that down you." I thought Kishmish would play with it awhile, so thought I would dispose of it later. Turned round to see the tail stiking out of Kishmish's mouth. Urgh!!

It's absolutely grim, isn't it.
