Cats Are Useless

[ShawnT]

My cats are serious hunters when it comes to rodents.

I'm starting to think one of my cats is a hybrid with a Bengal or something. He is huge and has 6 fingers on each paw.

this is him, check out his thumbs, lol

My cat stayed outside, and one time, she brought home a baby rabbit, ALIVE. I took it from her and made sure she didn't hurt it, then let it go.

She never brought me anything again. She just got fat and lazy, never even left the yard.

my cats LOVE to bring in live stuff from outside all summer.
we've gotten snakes, birds, rodents, frogs, and insects.
We get dead stuff too of course....

I don't mind the live stuff, nor the dead stuff. What I hate is the gravely injured but still alive stuff that I have to take responsible action on. I lose a lot of sleep over those

yes, one time my cat brought a bird with a broken wing. I called "The Bird Man" (yes, that was what his name was in the phone book) He came and got the bird and fixed it. I believe he let it go after it got better, at least I like to think so.

Jay_Bunny, is this your cat?!

Our 3 cats are crazy. Peaches and Snowball will chase a mouse and then just sit there and smack at it. Cole won't even go near a mouse. He has always been an inside cat, so he didn't even know what it was...lol...he's a big sissy...

I think this is one rat you should spare from the chamber (and the snake). After all your cats wouldn't even touch it.

my old cat was cool... he use to sit in the bushes and wait for the deer to come and eat apples off the yard ( had an apple tree) then he would chase them down and try attacking them.... good times

Interesting... one of my cats did the exact same thing when I was young. He was a bit on the dull side mentally, and he thought the bunny was a nice gift.

On the flip side, I had another cat later that could, and would, hunt anything alive! And boy was she good. I once saw her catch a sparrow in mid air as it was flying off! She also loved catching lizards, mice, and roaches.

The only thing my cats are interested in getting to are snakes. Go figure. Anything with fur and they don't even notice.
