The neighborhood cat is out back chasing squirrels

[Droopy]

Almost caught a couple of them. They are damn near as big as he is. I think if he actually gets a hold of one it's going to tear him a new asshole. He's well fed. I guess he's just hunting out of instinct.

1. my cat used to kill squirrels

it's the natural instinct of cats. I was picking up the kid i babysat from a friend's house once and the friend's cat brought in a live pigeon, that was almost the size of the cat.

They may be domesticated but they're still predators.

2. Our cat used to bring us squirrels.

He was a hell of a hunter.
On edit: My money's on the cat.

3. Our Sir Thomas tried that once. They were both in this huge tree

about equal with windows on a 2 story house. Squirrel won. They were nose to nose and the squirrel lunged at him. Tom ended up falling out of the tree and he ended up with a hole midway up his nose that took forever to heal. Yes, you could hear him breathing through that hole. :wow:

He never messed with squirrels after that.

4. My cat kills squirrels with a single bite, and then eats them

He gets two big cans of food a day. He's just a killer with a big appetite.

5. Mr. Peabody was belled and overweight and he could still catch them occasionally. I figure

they weren't long for the gene-pool if he could catch them.

6. my lilith caught a chipmunk

when she was four months old. It was as big as she was.

yet there are "mouse signs' on my stove this morning, and besides Lilith . I have two other cats!
