The only thing my dogs killed was trash they pulled from the Burger King dumpster down the block when they would get out of the yard... and avocados off the tree in the backyard, skin and all... I would find the pits laying around the yard and couldn't figure out what was happening until I found a half eaten one.
We currently have three fat, lazy, spoiled rotten city cats, but they can take down a month! Being seasoned cat owners we know that store bought cat toys are a waste of time and money... cats are much more amused by a crumped up piece of paper or foil, a twist tie, an empty cardboard box, etc.
However my wife can't resist an impulse buy when she goes to the pet store, we have agreed to a no toys with feathers rule because they make a huge mess.
So imagine my surprise when I get home from work and there are feathers on the floor and I'm thinking "oh honey it is bad enough you buy them toys but we agreed to no feathers!" I follow the trial of feathers to the bedroom where there is a small oval object on the floor... I go to pick it up but notice down on the floor around it... I turn on the light and look closer, yep, a bird. My wife was not home so I disposed of the body and vacuumed up the feathers. Mums the word.
