Coming home to an empty nest..

Just looked out the patio window to see the cat coming up the garden with something in its mouth. Turns out she had caught 3 new born baby birds, must have been hours old. I put the cat in the garage and buried the chicks alive down the garden. Nothing else I could have done really. The cat is a total nightmare.

a mouldy old dead bird

a dead mouse , and she was licking it and growling

a partially dead bird on the door step

Wouldnt setting them free in the bushes have been better than burying them alive?

Yes...but no because the cat (or next doors cat) will go and get it again

Surely you expected this before you got a pet cat? It's what they do...

yes true, buts its 11 yrs old, and only recently in the last few years has it started doing this. I do remember it bringing in frogs and pond weed, but its just getting grim now.

Mauled to within an inch of your young life by a big cat then buried alive, did you get the idea off of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here?

Goodfellas

But a collar and bell on your cat, makes stealth-mode harder

no thats cruel because it will get a beating from the other neighbourhood cats

there are some big nasty cats on my road, the one next door is hugely obese
