My cat's eatin' a mouse

Sittin' on the floor next to me, just chompin' away.

Nature is cruel, but fascinating.

My brother saw the cat in the backyard gnawing on something. When he went over to investigate, all he found was a very long squirrel's tail. Apparently, they aren't as tasty as the rest of the critter. ;)

Lucy et the tail, too.



She started with the head, though.

Maybe John interrupted the full meal?

So, how old is Lucy? And do you have a pic of her?
Inquiring cat-lovers need to know.
(Well, OK - I want to know.)

I got it.
Sleep well. :hug:

But she's jet black and mostly Maine Coon, I think.

She's had me for... le'see... it'll be three years in April, and I estimated she was about four months then. So she's about three.

And she loves me, and I her. :loveya:

You really are a great guy!

(cats are notorious good judges of character.) :loveya:

edit/edit me, please... notorious? notoriously? Help! I'm grammatically challenged tonight!

I give her food and skritch her tummy.

:shrug:

(ok, that was lame - but also true. :silly:)

:scared: I have a giant pair of leather gardening gloves that I use for just such occasions. Ginger does occasionally bring us living mice, but we try to "rescue and release" whenever possible, for the good of both the mice and Ginger (I don't want him to get worms or parasites or whatever else mice might give him). :shrug:

I try to catch 'em and set 'em free. If I don't, she'll chase 'em around the house.

She's been known to put 'em in the bathtub.

She was spoiled!

And then picked up a kitten at the shelter to provide him with company. Couple of months later the kitten shows up at the door with a mouse. I let him take it into the kitchen while the older cat watched him play with it. The kitten must have played with it for twenty twenty minutes until he go bored and left it laying in the kitchen. The older cat promptly went over and started eating it -- from the tail first as was his way. The kitten hears the munching of bones and goes flying back into the kitchen. He got down on his belly, his eyes big a saucers as if to say, "Wow! I didn't know you could eat them too!?"

And that was how my kitten learned that mice were edible.

a bit chilly yes, to say the least, but their way of being homey B-)
