The unbearable grossness of cats

[spinbaby]

This morning I discovered that one of our critters ate a rodent in the kitchen and barfed it up in the living room. I discovered this when I stepped in it.

EWWWWWWWW!

1. Saves on rolaids. I can beat that

When I lived on my mom's ranch, the top cat used to bring me trophies. There were mice, squirrels and gophers everywhere. But Patty brought me the choice bits: the rear ends of her kills.

It was just horrible.

lol

2. Rump Troph ?

3. Mouse butts all over the porch. An embarrassment of riches. n/t

17. See, your cat isn't apathetic.

He DOES give a rat's ass!

[ET Awful]

4. That's what you call a Cat "Ass Trophy"

Catastrophe . . . get it? :) . . . okay, bad pun, you can pun-ish me now :)

6. When I lived on a farm, one of my cats used to stash dead rats ...

... under the furniture for future use. Sometimes you didn't realise till they started to smell ... Bleccchhh!!!

7. Thanks,

Just what I needed for breakfast.

9. When I was a little boy I visited my grandparents in the Old Country...

...and they kept cats in their supply loft to keep the mice out of things.

One morning, we went up there for soemthing and found that the cats had eaten their own kitten. Its head and the bottom half of its body were still there, right next to a dish of food that was still untouched.

10. That is what cats do.

My trouble is why do I also always step into it?

[DemGa]

11. They also walk on countertops, eating what they find

spray urine around, tear up furniture.

14. My cat is a butt-dragger

He thinks that the carpet is his own personal huge roll of tiolet paper. Nasty thing.

[mondo joe]

15. That is his way of asking you to wipe his tooshie.

[DeaconBlues]

16. He usually gets the job done with his own tongue

one of the many reasons why I never kiss him, even though he's so cute and furry

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

21. Have you had him checked for anal sac disease?

He could be dragging his butt because his anal sacs are plugged and he's trying to unplug them.

[mtnsnake]

29. That's usually a sure sign of worms

You might wanna get some worm pills from your vet :)

[DeaconBlues]

31. Thanks for the heads up

I don't think he has any problems though. He's a total indoors cat with no access to other pets. He also got a total thumbs up during his last visit to the vet, except for the fact that he's a little chubby. I think he just misses the grass.

[msanthrope]

34. Dude, when the cat starts draggin its ass and

looking like the Energizer Bunny, it is because it has impacted anal gland sacs. (But its damn funny to watch!!)

You can relieve them on your own--but I suggest having the vet do it--at least the first time. You don't want to be in the room---it's gross and smelly. Really gross, and really smelly.

[flaminbats]

18. you want gross!?!

my cat is named Lucifer. We give him plenty of food,water, and a nice clean cat litter. But that isn't what he really wants :puke:

give him an unflushed toilet filled with crap and urine, and he'll jump in and swim around everytime! But why?? Never leave the toilet unflushed at my house, or you'll be washing lucifer :evilfrown:

[DS1]

19. Yes, but I've known dogs that would EAT that, after it was puked OR shit

out.

20. Pics?

22. One summer

when I was a kid, I left for camp for 4 weeks. Because I was gone no one went into my room...except one of our cats who left a rat carcass on my bed. I think it had been there close to the whole 4 weeks because it decomposed and the fluids soaked down through all the bedding AND the mattress!

Needless to say, the whole bed except the frame was ruined!

[funkybutt]

23. How about this...I woke up to a shitty kitty this morning

She's a persian whose hair gets quite long in the winter. At some point it becomes long enough to catch her fecal excrement.

You know you love your pet when you're cleaning shit off it's ass and clipping the hair around that area to allow for a cleaner passage of such material.

[dean_dem]

25. Been there, done that....

....it helps to distract them with food. While they are bent over eating, you sit on top of them and scrub with a warm old toothbrush. Remember kids, an OLD toothbrush. Or a particularly annoying roommates' will work.

Yup, good times.

[barb162]

26. I clip the hair around there on my longhair too.

[trof]

28. Beware the muffled meow.

We have sliding glass doors from our bedroom to a deck.
I was already tucked in for the night, watching TV.
Miz t. heard Ace meowing at the door to come in.
She opened it and Ace raced across the room, jumped up onto the bed, and deposited a live, but terminally injured, mouse on my chest.
He was SO proud.

After I disposed of the corpse, Miz t. said that, upon reflection, his "meow" had sounded kind of muffled. Like he had a mouthful of something. We now do mouth check before we let him in.

I was thankful that it wasn't Miz t. in bed, or I might have had the opportunity to practice my CPR skills.

24. Ah yes. I used to live in an old Victorian

mansion that had been subdivided into apartments.

Riddled with rodents. My fierce little feline killing machine used to catch them and toy with them, then kill then and leave their dismembered heads and hands and tails around the house.

[barb162]

27. I found a headless mouse body on my rug; never found the head

[Hell Hath No Fury]

30. Yes, I love'em but they can be gross...

Junior likes to leave remnants of his feasts around the living room -- the bits that remain are always the kidneys and the tail. That's it.

Miss P used to rush right over whenever Momcat used to upchuck her food and gobble up the still-warm, partially digested gruel.

[marzipanni]

32. This thread should be sold as a diet aide-

I was losing my appetite, and your post finished it off. :9

33. If ya have cats....

ya have to develop a strong stomach. :)

Bon Appetit!
