My youngest cat is always bringing in frogs......I have found them in various places downstairs.....one was hopping about in the living room a few days ago.

A cat I had years ago used to bring in the plumes off the neighbours pampas grass........lol

George's sister Betty attacks hair ties!! Daughter bought a bag home once - Betty opened it and they're now all over the garden! She also brings in moths - alive.

I think his best trophy was the rat he brought in on Christmas day!! As we were all having a lie in, he decided to bring it into our bedrooms to show us!

At least he kills them quickly - a previous cat used to bring live mice in and let them go!! Once they had the smell of the house he wouldn't touch them!
Probably something to do with children having pet hamsters, rats & guinea pigs roaming free that he wasn't allowed to harm.

Angela - he brings all 'kill' on to the beige stair carpet - it's the only carpet in the house.

Stray - give him time LOL

Ann I found out I had frogs in the garden when Betty brought one in - fortunately still alive.

Jean - maybe there was a bird on it ........once!! LOL

In the past month he's had three baby rats, one of which I managed to save, three field mice, one saved again, one bird feathered and demolished, one dead frog, one frog I saved and one frog so small is could have sat on a 20p piece - saved that one too!! He's going to end up on Crimewatch!!!

Yuk!

I remember, quite a few years ago, arriving home to the bloody remains of a blackbird on our (beige) hall carpet. Cat nowhere to be seen!

Just heard plaintive cries of 'mum', 'mum' from my daughter downstairs. Opened the bedroom door, looked down the stairs to see George (rather skinny cat) on the stairs plucking the most enormous pigeon - it's almost as big as he is!! How he got it through the cat flap is beyond me!!
Managed to get him outside. He is now in the front garden surrounded by feathers!!! I have tried ignoring his growls and taking it off him, but he's got a blooming strong hold! Not bad for a pud who had his jaw broken 14 months ago.
I don't like him killing birds, but at least he kills them quick - this one (like all the other 'kill' he gets) had a broken neck.


Guess who's going to have to clear it all up tonight :o(
