Cats were stalking a toad in the garden this evening; caught it and popped it back under the woodpile where it will be safe.

Foggy is stalking a fly

He is the worlds useless hunter!

[The Dogmother]

Is his bottom wiggling?

[bluekarin]

Our Gizmo likes hunting flies. She likes sitting on our narrow window sills and trying to get them. I do remember Yo-Yo many years ago caught a daddy long legs and then proceeded to sit down in front of us and munch it all up

[Alis girls]

Can I ask a stoopid question - how do you know it was an aunt Bessies yorkshire pud -was it still in the bag? Mine are boring - a live mouse by ginger boy the other night hidden in his mouth. Honey bun couldnt catch a cold let alone a mouse or bird. these stories are so funny

We used to have two tabby cats, famed for their ability to tag team and seriously confuse our dog (a little king charles cavalier spaniel). One morning they showed up with the tip of a fox's brush (a little bit of the ginger fur and then all of the white bit). A stunned silence at the family breakfast table followed, really not sure how they managed to get hold of that!

Mine have done the usual assortment of mice and birds nothing extraordinary but Sophie when she was little had obviously been hunting......slugs She had one impaled on her teeth and I had to pull it off Disgusting.

 

The kitties love fly hunting although Toby often gets bees by mistake and has been stung twice to my knowledge - I always say 'Silly Boy' in the voice of Captain Manwaring

I recognised the yorkshire pudding as the type my Mother infuriatingly serves up to us They don't resemble the real thing at all and are small, round, tasteless muck. I suppose other firms might make their own but they're the type that are frozen and cooked in the oven for a few minutes.

Meg once came home with a turkey, cranberry and stuffing pie bought that day from the fresh counter at Safeway. We know this because she helpfully brought the packaging with her

 

Minty went through a stage of having a thing for brushes and we found an assortment of make up brushes, paint brushes, pastry brushes etc tucked in hubby's shoes. It was always his shoes never mine.

There are some amazing stories here - it always baffles me how they can get a live bird or animal through the catflap without apparently damaging it.

 

I remember the day I got home and found bright orange feathers all over the hall. I was really worried that somene's cockatoo had gone missing ... until I discovered the remains of my feather duster!

[chickencam]

What an hilarious thread There really are some intrepid hunters out there.

 

The best ours have managed is :-

 

Toffee caught a rat once, and covered the kitchen in blackbird feathers one morning, I didn't know that one bird could have so many feathers. Otherwise she stuck to mice and birds with the occasional live gift.

 

Scamp and Ziggy have only brought in mice and birds but they do like releasing live mice around the house.

 

Scamp has a thing about pens and pencils, if you leave them lying around she 'catches' them and meows madly about how clever she is. One day when ED was revising she took all of her fineliners off her bed in turn and lined them up by her door.

 

When I was little our cat brought a live weasel home and lost it behind the kitchen units, that was quite interesting.

[Space Chick]

The last two days Sabrina has brought in pieces of black plastic... She's been having great fun playing with them.... Found out tonight, she has stolen them from my next door neighbours grandsons toy car

 

I was out with ther hens, and heard her and her daughter in law wondering what had happened to some of the parts, then it clicked I'm trying to work out how to return them, as whilst my neighbour loves the hens, she hates the cats

[Redwing]

Not exactly 'bought in' but my kitten greeted my postman with a paper wrapped tampon this morning

Not exactly 'bought in' but my kitten greeted my postman with a paper wrapped tampon this morning

 

Did s/he think it was a mouse?

[lillybettybabs]

Foggy has upped his game this morning and presented me with a leaf for my breakfast

mmmm... delicious.

[Lavenders_Blue]

Well done Foggy! Don't eat it all at once will you LBB?

 

I remember when our family terrier (now nearly 16 years old) was a pup and just starting to try out his hunting skills. It was winter, and he found or maybe dug up a frozen worm from the garden and very proudly ran round doing the shaky-killy thing with it TBH he never really progressed much from that, he got the odd myxi rabbit from time to time, but never learnt to single out one rabbit rather than trying to chase all of them so was largely unsuccessful as a hunter. He did once kill one of the chickens scratching about in the Chatsworth House car park though, which was hugely embarrassing

[The Dogmother]

I feel we are long overdue a picture of The Foggster, Karen....

 

Cyrus just came in from the garden with a solid lump of dried chicken poo which he proceeded to eat

[Goosey Lucy]

Guess it's not raining with you today then?

[The Dogmother]

On and off, don't know where he found this dried bit.

[Goosey Lucy]

A determined search then

[Alis girls]

MMM yum. I'll pass on that if you dont mind

[Alis girls]

Honey came in sporting what looks like a new hair accessory. bright green and sticky on her head. Obviously new look for summer

[lillybettybabs]

lol... Foggy smells of ponds today, I hope he hasn't been fishing.

[Mr Rhode Island Red]

My grandmother's dog "Grouse" used to often bring in rats. He also managed to steal eggs from the hens. He also once stole a bantam cockerel from the house Amazingly didn't do any harm to it though

I had a cat once in the UK that dragged home a seagull (the gull must have been very weak!) before proceeding to pluck it on the front grass, and annoying all the neighbours. It also caught a weasel once, and it looked dead until it dropped it, then all hell broke loose, and all you can really do is open the door, get out of the room and wait.

 

It would regularly bring home frogs and toads too.

It was a bit mad, would regularly attack the heads of visitors, and didn't live to a very big age, but I guess it had an interesting life.
