My cat is insane

It was a harmless tongue in cheek comment and the equivalent of saying English people have bad teeth, i.e. no one in their right mind should be taking offence at it. I never thought I'd see the ********* / PC culture find its way to GD but it looks like it has begun.


Saying that is highly offensive (begins crying like a big baby)

@Ace Modder

your not not insane mine is,
it brings mice in Helps them wash their coat with his tongue and paw and puts him to bed then leaves him to run around the house...
 
Mine dragged a huge wood pigeon in not too long back, bloody thing flapped around a bit on the kitchen floor before coming to it's senses and taking flight into the house. Took ages to catch the thing, and all the Mrs could do to help, in between her bouts of crying with laughter, was sing 'Stop the pigeon' and snigger in her Mutley voice.
 
Get a medium sized box, put it on its side near the mouse, then coax the mouse out with a golf club or stick. Do it right and the mouse will do a runner for the safety of the dark box, when it does, flip the box upright and take the mouse outside. Caught loads of mice like this.

You'll need to get the mouse out as quickly as possible as they'll wreck your furniture give half a chance.

Trap got it.

Not sure if dead mouse establishes me as alpha in the cat's mind but at least the girls will sleep now !
 
What did you bait the trap with?

A trap both sides of the piano, each with half a grape as I was eating some when the mouse was discovered. I would normally use peanut butter but we didn't have any. Definitely a case of more luck than judgement but will remember that as peanut butter goes like glue and is a pain when you want to clean the trap.
 
For the past few weeks our cat, Dave, has been bringing us gifts. Dead field mice that she is catching and killing, she has progressed to placing them on our stairs (bringing them in via the bathroom window - jumping from the extension roof)

Anyway today she was going mental at our back door, she really wanted my attention.

I followed her outside and she has brought me this delightful gift.

Firstly, I'm shocked the rat lost the fight, our cat isn't very big, this rat is about the same size as the cat.

Secondly what is the best way to dispose of it? I really don't know.

Since it is a female cat its actually treating you like one of its children, and trying to teach you to hunt by bringing back dead or dying animals like it would do for its children if it were wild.

It's the age-old question. What do our pets think we are?

I'm fairly sure they don't think we're cats. They are quite capable of identifying other creatures as prey/danger, based on size, smell, etc.

But maybe cats think we need to hunt regardless of what we are.

Maybe it's a menu suggestion? "Sick of Felix now, kthx."

Or maybe it's a present. We may never know.

Glad mine doesn't hunt tho. Diseases, fleas... yuck.
 
On one occasion this big bundle of innocence bought a live but small bird into the house and released it into the kitchen. I had to virtually demolish my cooker to get the thing. Very recently she dropped a live mouse at my feet which of course did not hang about and raced off, to this day I know not where. I am wary getting out of bed without a thorough inspection of the place on the floor where i will put my feet as standing on a dead rat is not a great morning routine.

She's a cutie Kronos.

I've been fairly lucky with my two, either there's not much to hunt, they aren't good at it, or aren't bothered.

Only thing I've seen one of them do was catch and eat a baby bat! Literally gobbled it down before I could even get outside.
 
"yes yes puny human, photograph my visage and distribute it to the denizens of the internet, it should provide sufficient distraction for me to complete my plan, if all goes well you have a week at most to live"

the story is in the eyes, you just need to learn to read it.....
Has anyone actually, ever, been killed by a cat?

I mean I know it's a meme and all that. But srsly. Death by cat is not really a thing.

I might even start a petition on change.org. Cats are given a really bad name by using this species stereotype. I will write to the ASA and ask if they wouldn't mind banning it, on the grounds that it is engenders prejudice against cats in children.
