Hi guys,

My tabby keeps bringing these little fella's in, live.

Any ideas? They're very docile.

Mynight · 15 Apr 2016 at 21:57

Mouse

Dis86 · 15 Apr 2016 at 21:57

Yup. That's a mouse.

Destination · 15 Apr 2016 at 21:58

Just a house mouse.

Dis86 · 15 Apr 2016 at 22:00

They're also docile because they're terrified and in shock.

RetiredGreyFox · 15 Apr 2016 at 22:00

It's a Queen Wasp obviously

Mobius 1 · 15 Apr 2016 at 22:00

There's a moose loose aboot your hoose

RetiredGreyFox · 15 Apr 2016 at 22:00

Or a mouse

slipd · 15 Apr 2016 at 22:02

Bah, nothing fancy then? Like a field (mouse) or a door (mouse)? Trust my cat to find the most common thing out there...

Thanks guys.

It's a miniature giant space hamster.

Or a mouse.

Poor thing will probably die now. Shock kills rodents very easily. It has always been my one bugbear about cats, their insistence on killing anything thats smaller than them.

We used to get loads of songbirds in our garden until our neighbour got a cat. Now no birds but occasional cat crap. Not sure we got a good deal out of it...

Surprise your cat by eating the thing whole while it watches.

If you look closely there may be some bits of the songbird left in the crap

.

Unless your hands are freakishly small it looks too big to be a field mouse.

I have a cat myself, but luckily she's got all the hunting instincts of a petrified goat. She sits there looking at birds. They fly towards her and she sprints off miowing like an eagles come at her!

That's a common field cricket.

This is what your cat expects you to do.
It's a present for you apparently.
