AndreaT Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 My lovely sweet, cute little Nala has just brought me a lovely present in the form of a mouse! Unfortunately it was still alive when she let it go. There then followed something from a Carry On film which entailed me trying to catch it in a dust pan (who knows why I thought that was a good idea! ) and it running trying to run up my leg! It eventually escaped under the washing machine and is still there now. Goodness knows how I'm going to get it out now, guess I'll have let nature take its course and let the cats do their job. Serves me right for trying to rescue it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 My friends live in france and have 2 cats who spend their time catching anything that moves.....they get mice, worms, snails, toads, and Lizards! .......when they catch a lizard by the tail, they detatch their tails, which can twitch on their own for about half an hour. What a nice present to find on your floors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 You have my sympathy. My lovely departed cat Dave used to catch mice regularly and he loved bringing live ones inside to give me something to do. I absolutely hate mice. Thankfully my two new kitties don't seem to have discovered mice yet or if they have they have the good sense to leave them outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 My cat has killed pidgeons in recent weeks and i have found remains on the lawn. He spends more tiem watching my 2 hens and I am getting slightly concerned thats his next gourmet feast to look forward too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperaliceuk Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm getting a about three a week from my cat - he generally scoffs them, leaving just a bit of kidney or whatever it is that they don't eat or leaves a dead one. Occasionally we get a live one which needs to be caught. Our new kitten was playing with a dead one in my daughter's bedroom last night. As I don't think she has ventured properly into the garden yet I can only assume it was one belonging to the other cat and she nicked it!

snowberry Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 One of my cats, Bella is queen mouser, or rather voles & shrews; even the odd rat on occasion! Edward the big tom cat is too lazy to catch anything & usually nicks what ever the girls have caught. Kismet the kitten has been caught literally playing with our hamsters, really gently....
