Gabey8 - 14 Apr 2005 18:31 GMT I am stuck between saying, "UGH!" and laughing, in a "what a warped sense of humor someone has!" sort of way, at this concept. Someone just posted a link to this blog, titled "What my cats have killed", in a message board that I read.
Bigtime gross warning, as it shows images, including some graphic ones, of ex-rodents and ex-rabbits that the blogger's felines have carried into the house.

How do people even THINK to compile things like this?
But I have to say that the kitties themselves, whose photos also appear in posts in this blog, are beauties. And, apparently, their hunting skills are top-notch.
This'll be a must-read for any kitties on here who are interested in comparing hunting techniques. ;o) The rest of us will probably be more interested in skimming through the photos of the hunt results, and admiring the handsome mighty-hunter felines.

KittyLady - 14 Apr 2005 18:46 GMT Gabey, That reminds me of a story my sister told me. My sister is absolutly terrified of a mouse, to the point that she can move from the room the mouse is in to another without ever touching the floor. One night she wokeup to a rusling in her bed. She said she switched on the lamp and there was Solomon (RB) playing with his newest catch. A live mouse. Needless to say she did not talk to me for a few weeks after I laughed about it. Skritches, KittyLady

My sister is absolutly [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Prissy Sissy With The Sassy Tail (RB) left the hind half of a mouse in my > slipper once! ;> One time, on the island, I woke up in the middle of the night. I had stretched in my sleep and my foot had hit something wet and cold. I sat up to investigate, and found the hind quarters of a vole at the foot of my bed. My foot had hit the pool of blood. I think Frank was making me an offer I couldn't refuse.

He came and dangled it in my face, purring loudly and all wet from the rain outside. Nikki, on the other hand, brought me a live one into bed in the middle of the night one summer on the island. I woke up to her pouncing on it all around the bed. Ah, the joys of the island. Can't wait to get back. :oP

Jo Firey - 14 Apr 2005 18:58 GMT I must admit that the last thing I considered doing with the Monday offering was photographing it.!
I was just ever so grateful the killing part was done on the tile rather than the carpet.

I think it was the self-satisfied, well-fed look on his cat's faces that really set me off.
I think the guy who made that site is part cat. It's the only possible explanation.

So far, she hasn't left 'gifts' around for me. She's actually eating what she catches... Except the heads, which she leaves for he-of-lesser-hunting-skills, Muscat. I do have to make it clear to her that playing with her kills should happen outside... If I start to find small furry & featherd corpses left around the house, I will seriously consider going to indoor only cats.

Those guys are ambitious!
I very rarely ever see blood or guts-- Stinky makes very clean kills, probably why I can clean up after them without getting too upset or grossed out. The worst thing I ever encountered was a partially-digested mouse that he --- well, that he just didn't finish digesting. :P -- and it took me awhile to figure out what the mess was.
Jeez, WTF IS some of that stuff??!!

Well, I spotted a kidney, a large intestine, and I think there was definitely a spleen in there somewhere . . . . oh, that was a rhetorical question, right? ;)

PS I used to do hawk rehab, you kind of get used to that kind of stuff - apologies to any rodent lovers out there.

Those pictures are so icky! I've never seen anything like that before, thank goodness. The closest that Betty comes to hunting is doing bug escort duty. If she sees an interesting bug, she'll follow it closely to make sure that it gets safely from one end of the room to the other.

Prey looks different when its insides are on the outside, yes?

The smug cats are really the funniest part of the page. The gory details don't bother me, as I've been used to see things like that since I was a baby, with all our indoor/outdoor cats at home.
