The cat just brought us the rear end of a mouse for Christmas

[starroute]

I admit it was just a bit tacky -- like having someone give you half of a box of chocolates because they couldn't resist dipping in themselves -- but I understand that mice must be in short supply at this time of year. And it's the thought that counts, right?

I think it was very dear of her.

4. Maybe you'll get the front half

for New Years...

[Widgetsfriend]

6. You don't have to wait for New Years!!

I have the front half laying outside my back door, next to some bird feathers and internal organs. Nothing is safe at my house!!

5. We get squirrels

with their brains removed.

None today (sniff!)

11. my mother used to have a cat ...

that would occasionally catch a mouse, eat the front half, and leave the back half on the patio. The cat would later go back to the mouse half on the patio & play w/it until someone discovered it & disposed of it.

12. Had a cat that brought a squirrel, bird, duck (!), rat .. and then....

..one day just disappeared.

Some believe he was hit by a car somewhere. I fully expect to one day open the door and see a horse on my doorstep that he's been dragging home for the last year. :)

13. one kitten we had

use to bring us nightcrawlers - at least a 1/2 dozen at a time, all with a set of "teeth holes" on either side of the body, lined up neatly on the door mat - and quite dead

later she graduated to moles, voles, mice, birds, squirrels and an occassional full-grown rabbit

22. My cat would often bring them in alive and lose them.

We would late find a live baby rat on the top of the curtain rail or in the linen cupboard.
She would also bring in frogs and crikets but she only caught a bird once.

14. You too?

I had to go out for a couple of hours Christmas Eve and when I came back there was a nice tree rat complete with guts hanging out on the front porch. It's nice to be remembered by your pets for the holidays, isn't it? B-)

15. No corpses here

I think the kitties have run out of mice in the basement. But Sophie did kindly beat up a throw rug for me.

16. She brought you the best part

Assuming it's a female, they usually eat the ass end first.

17. Give your cat half a can of cat food

and tell her you decided to snack on the other half.

She'll get the hint.

18. Hope it wasn't a downed animal!

[put out]

19. Very generous, I think.

Mine only left two puke-piles, and it was plain old cat food! That I bought her in the first place! Talk about re-gifting. Thanks a lot, Happy Stupid-Head (my new name for the animal). Mouse butts would have at least showed some effort. Come to think of it, though, she puked with so much enthusiasm that I thought a visitor was knocking on the front door. Maybe she's not all that bad.

Oh, yes she is.

20. We have no mousing cats...

When you have ten cats, the mice stay the hell away from your house.

But when I was just a little leftist, we had this one orange cat who was very good at catching things. He also knew that he had to take his mouse outside to eat it, because my mom didn't want to watch him do it. So every time he'd catch a mouse, he'd come to us, put the mouse on the floor and his foot on the mouse, and meow until someone got up, opened the door and let him out. Sometimes four or five times in one day, especially during the winter.

Once he was done eating, he'd climb the kitchen windowscreen and meow until we let him back in.

He was good at catching birds, too, and he had a slick way of doing it. This cat knew that the robins were eating the neighbor's Queen Anne cherries, so the cat would climb up into the cherry tree and position himself on a branch with a lot of cherries on it. The robins would land and start eating cherries, the cat would slip up behind them while they were distracted...and it was good eating for the rest of the night. He only fell out of the tree twice, and shook it off and went back in the tree both times.

21. mine has left the entrails in the past.

And the tail.
