It’s what’s for dinner

Well, it’s safe to say our snooky-ookums has developed a taste for rodent. First, stealing them out of traps and now this. I came around the corner the other day just in time to see the last of a tail slithering down his gullet. So Jack, like Charlotte, quietly kills and eats rather than bringing us gifts. We never know how many mice she catch and we won’t know with him, either.

Pretty good on the old girl for managing to eat them, since she’s had all her teeth extracted. You don’t want me to describe how she does it.

Photo is Uncle B’s. He also got a cracking few minutes video of Jack making love to the corpse with dead, staring eyes (Jack’s, not the mouse).

Good weekend, y’all!

According to at least one study, cats only bring home about 21% of their kills.

Oh good grief. The Oatmeal. The Bobcats. Now I can’t stop laughing and Husband thinks I’ve lost my mind.

Terrific photo, Uncle Badger. So glad to learn that Jack is a good mouser. I’ve never understood why the pet food companies can’t make mouse-flavored cat chow.

We never have trouble with mice, let’s just say that.

About 1 mousie every 2 hours would be normal kitty appetite. Being fed will cut down on that, of course.

Looks like he’s mirroring the mousie’s pose.

That’s actually better than I thought, Anonymous. The headlines described the building as Medieval. It must’ve been Medieval in style only, then.

Back when I used to work at a horse barn, one of the cats caught what looked like a house sparrow. And she was pacing up and down with the bird in her mouth, meowing like crazy and wondering why the humans did not like her gift.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
