erm yes.....

Chloe has brought home:

A dead blackbird
several live mice
a couple of dead baby rats
loads of butterflies

Fortunately the screams from me must have put him off. I think he eats his kill outside now as I quite often find remains out by the washing line.

Now he just brings home things attached to his long fur, like seed pods, slugs, tics, half a rose bush, snow, masking tape, other cats claws stuck in his head.

cat claws in the head! Yes! Pants had a horn between his eyes lol. As a matter of interest has he been neutered?

Our coons routinely bring bits of garden debris in, stuck to their fur. A cat with a selection of leaves stuck to it's bum happens about 5 times a day.

what about the green balls they come back with? I think the record for one of my moggies was in the high teens. What the hell are they green balls anyway? I know they.re seed pods but god knows from what lol.

just remembered another thing. Had a cat Archie who died last year. He came home and had a watery eye. I presumed he'd poked it on something. On closer inspection it was a dead spider stuck in the corner of his eye! I had to pull it out! Another time he had a sneezing fit and a tiny wee blade of grass popped out his nose. It stayed there so i pulled it and it was about 8 inches long! I thought it would never stop coming out. Actually cats aint that relaxing are they? Still wouldn't be without any of them.

SO funny!

I can only say he had the cat version of our gag reflex.

My cat also has those little green balls...mainly in the summer...she trots home literally covered in them! I try to pick them off her and am forever finding them on the stairs, on my bed etc. etc.....

I have a field behind my house so maybe she picks them up from there when she's "stalking" her prey (birds) and is lying low in the grass trying to be invisible!

my cat comes home covered in those sticky buds. He will let me remove them from anywhere except his tail, which is strictly off limits and of course, the fluffiest part of him.

to the earlier poster, yes he is neutered now but i was very very late in getting it done. He still fights.

I just asked because unneutered males tend to fight lots more than their jaffa mates. Pants has few fights these days thank goodness for at 17 he's just not up to it. He's got very tatty ears though.

those green balls are the bane of my life. Picking them out of my ragdoll is a full time job. Thing is i only take her out on her lead yet she still gets them. It extends and she goes into the longer grass herself. Does nobody know what they are? Lol

My neighbour's cat has just come through the cat flap with a mouse in his mouth, let it escape and is now stalking it in the living room where it is hiding under a bookcase. Help!!

try and put a bin over it if you can then slide a bit of card under it, flip it over and let the wee thing go to fight another day.

I can't find it now- it's so tiny and moves so fast. As well as the having the neighbour's cat stalking it my two kittens are asleep upstairs but will be down soon so this house is NOT a good place for it to be......

can only suggest leaving a door open (brrrr) and hope it finds a way out. I suspect it'll turn up :-S

Pixie (my female kitten and a potential hunter) is on the case now too-poor little mouse. All the books have been knocked off the bookcase. Have a bin at the ready and may go to Homebase to buy a humane trap if it doesn't turn up soon......

Just heard loud squeaking from the living room- Pixie had the mouse in her mouth so I posted her and the mouse through the cat flap, went outside and managed to get it off her and then dropped the mouse over the fence into next door's garden!

did it live? Well done you for being calm around this. I would have been still standing on a chair!

It was still alive but shaking like a leaf- bless . I'm not bothered by mice and do try and rescue them- it's the one thing I hate about having a cat....even though it wasn't even my own cat who brought it in!

My old cat- the third cat on this thread to be called Sparky!!- never bothered with any hunting- birds etc would just be ignored and once he was chased by a magpie. He was a big cat too and could be very vicious towards humans.

My two silver tabbies are the softest and most friendly cats ever but are absolute demons in the garden. Despite bells they rack up dead rodents all the time as well as pigeons and other big birds. Smaller birds don't seem to interest them. Last summer they got a whole family of squirrels and laid out their headless bodies in a neat if gruesome display.

Don't bother with those beeping colars- they will just drive you mad!

Everthing from mice -alive or dead, whole or body parts- birds, same as mice.

Cooked chicken breasts, lamb chops or whatever else he manages to steal from the neighbours, and of course there's twigs, slugs, leaves and anything else that can cling to his coat...

LOL our old Tiger once brought a shoulder of lamb through the cat flap.
He also brought a live hamster, whcih lasted a couple of days, the kids adopted it(we did try & find out whose it was) then it died. Guess what, we got a hamster. We wondered if maybe its owner had thought it was dead and buried it, only for it to "resurrect"

Felix brings mice(urgh), flowers(Aw) and birds,if he's manged to "lose" his collar.

Re the collar, RSPB and CPL recommend at least 2 bells, if you want to try and save the birds. It does help.

pants has 4 bells and a metal name barrel. When the neighbours daughter was about 3 two christmas's ago she thought she heard santa's sleigh bells. It was pants bell haha

A whole shoulder, what a clever boy. I wonder if my neighbours think they're going mad when they turn around only to find that their dinner is missing.

No-one's ever complained to me so Bilbo must be very good at it, I might train him to nick things to order LOL.
