Poll: Cat's murder spree

[potatolord]

Today my cat killed 2 mice and 2 shrews before lunchtime. He's upped his game from one a day over the last week.

@Feek can we have a poll? "Is your cat a crazed killer?" Options: A kill a day, a kill a week, a kill a month, vegan.

2 cats - 1 brings home his kills regularly to show them off, the other is either vegan/less proud, even if those terms are contradictory.

I'd rather that then what my cats used to do, just catch them and release them alive in the house.

 

[Feek]

Done with additional responses included.

I have two. They average a couple a month each I'd say. Sometimes they go bananas and do like 10 a week. They do eat things though, so probably catch more than I know. Sometimes we go weeks or even months with nothing.

The male cat brings things back alive. The biggest live prey was a magpie. He was fun. Very unhappy with proceedings. Once I got the cat away from it, he walked out of the front door giving me side eyes. No idea how he got dragged through the catflap.

What happens if you have 3 cats with varying appetite?

Yep. New Years day this year, after about 3 hours sleep and still drunk, I awoke to my cat releasing a thrush about 2ft away from my face. I had to spend about 2 hours catching the thing. It got wedged behind some shelves in my office.

He really can be ****er sometimes.

I have 2 cats, one seems to love frogs and always brings them in fully alive just hanging by a leg, i always catch them and let them go, the other is scared of his own shadow so he does nothing.

I love my cat she purrs like a pussy
All cats are hunters though

 

[montymint]

I have two indoor cats. One wouldn't hurt a fly but I'm sure the other would murder everything saw could catch.

If only something predated cats in such numbers

Reading this while one of my cats is gobbling something on the lawn.

Had a range of stuff over the years, most notably an uncooked baguette, a whole pheasant (must have been roadkill) and a chicken.

Foxes ?

 

[Terminal_Boy]

We get a present of most of a mouse about once a week, so I’m estimating that the furry psycho kills at least 2 more a week.

 

[something daft already!!]

Dusty my black cat catches leaves and the odd fly. Daisy the tabby is just greedy and wants food constantly and begs for food like a dog, she too would never kill anything bigger than a small spider.

 

[potatolord]

Jeez, I just pulled him out of the lawn border, as he had another shrew!

 

[peterwalkley]

Don't get anything from our cat. She is out-hunted by the ginger psycho two doors down.

 

[bloodiedathame]

A couple a week. Damn thing. Yesterday a bird flew into one of the windows and fell to the floor stunned, only for Squeaky to grab it and run off. I'm assuming it got ate.

 

[Craterloads]

I don’t think our cat has killed a thing, she caught a mouse once but just played with it before we let it go.

At the end of my street, about 50 yards from my house, are the grassy and overgrown banks of a decent sized river. The little 'presents' my cat used to bring home were countless.
