Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006They're a disgrace to their species
I am not impressed ;-) There it was, in the garden, at the foot of the tree where all the bird feeding stations are... a rat. a large, well-fed rat. a large well-fed rat which ignored me and got on nibbling bits of seed that had dropped form the bird feeders. I put Francis in the garden and said, "do your stuff" whilst I pointed at the rat. Francis looked at me, yawned, ignored rat and rat ignored Francis. So I got Marble. Put Marble in garden with Francis. I said, "go boys! do your stuff!" I pointed at the rat again. Marble meowed pathetically and nose-touched Francis. Francis yawned. Both ignored the rat and the rat ignored them. I got Waffles. Put Waffles in garden. I said, "Go! Go, Mighty Huntress and show those pathetic objects how it's done" and I pointed to the rat... again. The Mighty Huntress stretched, yawned and then wound herself round my legs. The Mighty Huntress ignored the rat and the rat gave me the finger. I am not impressed. The next time these lying felines tell me they have not been fed for six months and are about to expire due to hunger, I shall remind them that I simply do not believe them.

That is TOO funny!!!!! Kristi It is a natural known fact that cats cannot be trusted to tell the truth, ESPECIALLY when food is involved. Flea would eat a rat in a second, but the truth of the matter is that he'd club me to death and eat me, too, if the kibble tin ran dry for any length of time. Cheers, Azy!

Perhaps the cats decided that the rat was larger than they cared to tackle? Back while I was still living with my parents, l looked down at the floor one night and found that a mouse was under the kitchen table, finding and eating crumbs. I pointed this out to my parents, and my mother called our cat into the kitchen. The cat walked past the mouse without either one of them noticing the other, went to her food dish, and looked up expectantly. I had to pick the cat up and turn her around before she noticed the mouse. The cat then pounced on the mouse and dispatched it with a single bite to the neck. I don't think the mouse ever knew the cat was there. SignatureJohn F.

Eldredge Long ago, I singlehandedly dispatched a large rat with a broom handle while he had spreadeagled himself in my toilet in a "last-stand" maneuver (if you can picture that)...flushing didn't work; he was too big; it was just giving him a shower in there....he was glaring at me the whole time. I was forced to use brute force - shall we say, as they do autopsy-wise, he was killed by "blunt trauma". All this battle while my middle-aged girlcat hung on with all 20 claws to my right trouser-leg at thigh level! > Long ago, I singlehandedly dispatched a large rat with a broom handle > while he had spreadeagled himself in my toilet in a "last-stand" maneuver [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > he was killed by "blunt trauma".

LOL, count the claws, there only eighteen, unless the cat is a polydactyl.

Heh, of course you're right, Adrian, she only had 4 on rear paws....it felt, as I recall, like 50 or so digging into my leg at the time. We did have a Hemingway recently (now RB) polydactyl but she had 6 toes on each front paw and only 5 on the back ones. That cat of the rat saga was also terrified of large palmetto bugs....which were much less effort to get rid of. > Francis looked at me, yawned, ignored rat and rat ignored Francis. <snip> > Marble meowed pathetically and nose-touched Francis.
