3/4 of a frog (toad?) were eaten. The remaining quarter was left on the
couch. A bloody stain marked the spot of the massacre. All 7 looked
innocent, it will be impossible to tell who did it.

Not al all, just munch on a bit of garlic bread before hand and post-kiss
will be transformed into flavour of frogs' legs sauteed in garlic butter.
Delicious and cheaper than a trip to an expensive French restaurant. See how
the cats are looking after Victor's wallet ;-)

About 12 years ago we moved to a little out of the way place in the Bay
Area.
Punkin, our long-haired tabby, caught a good-sized blue bellied lizard
and ran around the house frantically with round, paniky eyes. It
wasn't hard to get the poor thing from her and it didn't appear to be
injured. I got the idea maybe it didn't taste very good! LOL
Ptewie...!

I blame Marble. I do. He regularly decides to 'play' with frogs and hide the
evidence where Meowmie don't find it until the nasty 'niff allows herto
locate it as hoomins have such a poor sense of smell. He probably teleported
over to your place and did the dirty deed.

I remember my first cat, Eliza, one morning I came down and found a toad in
her water bowl, he seemed OK, but I don't think he though much of being
Eliza's play toy for the night :-)

Okay, this isn't cat related but it has to do with toads so it's on topic ;)
We'd had a bad storm and it (sadly) knocked some birds nests down. I went
out one morning on my patio (no camera!) and saw a toad sitting inside of an
empty bird nest. He/she was just sitting in there, hanging out, looking
like he should be wearing a vest and expecting company. It was funny!

Which part did they leave? mine generally eat everything *except* the
frog legs.

During the frog breeding season in the early spring, several of my
cats seem to specialize in catching frogs, so I find frog legs all
over the house for a few weeks.

They left one back leg, along with some of the innards.

Ick. We have hundreds of toads/frogs in the back yard, mainly because of
the pond. Sometimes an unlucky one gets into the cat enclosure and is
caught and eaten without us noticing it.

I think it's time I said how much I like your humour, (sorry humor) Theresa.
Like when you said about the tornado "don't sleep nekkid." I fell about
laughing.
I should have told you before. I was a bit rushed for time then and not
feeling so good. I should have responded.
Please keep it coming. I just love it , I really do ;-)

These are rather small frogs with sort-of skinny legs: Western Chorus
Frog and/or Southern Leopard Frog (I think) - it would take *a lot* of
their legs to make even a snack.

Heh. When I moved to Florida it was my Siamese's first opportunity to
go outside regularly. One day he caught a frog and bit in - hilarious.
Can you imagine a cat trying to wipe the taste out of his mouth? Norm

Must have bitten into a Cane Toad - they are poisonous, and VERY bad
tasting, not to mention a nuisance. Good thing kitty spit it out!

And that's exactly what's happened in the past when they've picked up a
poor frog. They put it in their mouths, make this big eyes and spit it
out. I then rescue the frog and put it back outside. I guess this one
was tasty... :(

Coat it in flour, get out a frying pan, drop in some butter fry it up,
yum. My brothers used to spear frog at a local pond. Then they'd cook them
up. Yum!

I don't know how fresh they were, but I've had morrel sauce. It was
nice, though I don't quite see what the fuss is about. Morrels are
supposed to be a huge delicacy. They are also very poisonous, so have to
be handled carefully and boiled several times in fresh water before you
can eat them.

Hmmm... we must be talking different species here. The morels that I'm
familiar with are not poisonous, they are delicious, and very expensive.

That link says they are not safe to eat raw, perhaps it is the same

I haven't had those blonde or grey ones. The ones we have here are black
or brown. Must be some sort of regional varieties. But the ones we have
here are very expensive, too. They're special in that they grow in
spring, contrary to most other edible mushrooms. But I much prefer a
nice Porcino or Chantarelle.

Marina
==================================
They're expensive because they can't be "farmed". They grow in Michigan
where I grew up. the North American species might be different. We always
cooked them in butter.

We usually find a dozen or so in our yard every year. DH & I aren't too
fond of them, so we give them to his Mom, who loves them. One year he took
a bread-sack full to work and "raffled" them off, ended up getting $50 for
that one bag of 'shrooms.

Next door neightbo(u)r found *90* of them in his yard a couple of years
ago - made the local paper!

Watch out for the vomited toad. It will, however, reveal the culprit.
