my cat is a stonecold killer :)

[vash]

i have never been more proud. last night, i was sucked out of deep deep sleep by some scratching noises from within the walls. i have a built in closet unit in my bedroom. i grabbed a flashlight and pulled the lower drawers and took a peek. wads of dust, some insulation..and WTF??? some mice crap!

today, i grabbed a handful of good old fashioned mouse traps, and vacumed the area spotless with my shopvac. i started smearing peanut butter on the traps, and my BADASS cat runs by with a squeeky toy...what? we dont have squeeky toys..i shined the flashlight at her, and she is carrying a live mouse. live but really effed up!! she lets it go, and i jack it up with a dustpan, and scoop it away.

i set the traps, replaced the drawers..let the death begin. i decided against mice poison..because of my cats.

here is FERGIE!! what a cat!!

Took this one in Guangzhou a few years ago.

LOL! I think the killer was easily identified. In both cases...

Awesome cat.

They all have a lethal streak. Bonnie, my late Persian/Siamese mix was the cutest little fluffball looking cat you've ever seen, but was an absolute ruthless predator. Lucy (one of my current duo) has caught and dispatched two mice here in front of my own eyes. She's normally very chill and laid back but if she hears/sees a mouse, it's like Jeckyll and Hyde.

not my other cat. she is very lazy. i bet $$ a mouse can run by her safely.

fergie (a.k.a NAKITA) is another story. american standard cats are mousers!

all cats are getting fresh salmon tonight!!

They look lazy here...BUT mice beware.



Living in the sticks, cats are needed.

Heh heh. Came home the other night to find both my cats on the front sidewalk, but they weren't there to greet me. By the time I got out of the car, they were sitting next to each other in the dark on the front lawn. Hmm. That's kind of suspicious. When I walked up and leaned over the waist-high fence to see what they were up to, I noticed a very, very still mouse perched up on top of the fence a foot away from me. Cats had "treed" the mouse on top of the fence and were waiting for me to see it before they caputured it.

So I ran inside, fetched an old lacrosse stick, returned to nudge one cat away (he was now standing on top of the fence with a paw on the mouse), and whammo. After the rodent problem we inherited in the attic of our house when we moved in, I have no compassion for these vermin.

Another time a couple months back I returned home and caught a glimpse of my cat in the headlights of my car, sneaking down the driveway with a mouse in his mouth.

Good cats.

We had a couple of bird feeders in the yard, and had to take them down. Milo the old shop cat was slowly making the bird population extinct. She would climb the tree, and just wait, like a little tiger. I had to scoop up a dead bird or two nearly every day.
I also used to find disembowled little bunny's at my door step in the morning.
I guess that is just what they do.

I used to have 16 goldfish in the pond. Now I have nine :-( But it kept Toby alive until he became my pet cat.

They say gold fish are not smart. Don't believe that for a moment. When the dog has a look in the pond the goldfish almost sniff noses with him; when the cat comes near the pond they flee.

I prefer a more sporting approach.

No way a gun like that can not blow the mouse to smitherines.

My cat is getting older. I think he is about 12 now. When he was in his prime he would stay out for 24 hours or more without seeing him. He would bring home big rabbits mostly, and ground squirrels and the occasional rat. Well, there would be guts on the doormat oftentimes. He would not wait to show us.

Now we have resorted to simple poison, since he stays in and sleeps most of the time.

My cat would love to kill a mouse, fortunately we don't have any. He has taken off after squirrels and rabbits if I walk out the door and he knows something is out there, but he's not caught one.

He is a masochist. He can catch flies between his front paws, and he will pull off the wings and let it go...

He will catch a spider, pull off a leg, let it go, and repeat. I can't tell you how many legless (but living) spiders I've found around the house...

Now that's really sporting. Friggin heavy artillery at a tiny marsupial.

BB gun boys....very nice one by the way; Benjamin?

[Flieger]

Ratus ratus is not a marsupial, it is just a rodent. The only marsupials in North America are the Opossum and Kangaroo rat.

[nynor]

pshaw.... a benjamin air rifle is heavy artillery when dealing with rats? really?

anyway, i love my cats. one of them is too cross eyed to catch anything but the slowest spider. wally, however, is four legged death. he left me a new york style rat at the smoker. good, good kitty.

[Flieger]

I should get a second cat.
