One of mine...............I heard a racket going on in the kitchen earlier , bit of a thumping with the cat flap , I was distracted so didn't go and investigate straight away. I wandered in there about 10 minutes later to see my big fat white and ginger Pippin on the window sill looking very interested in the tea caddy......then I spotted a small head and flapping......at first I just thought a starling had been caught , it wasn't until I got ( very gently ) a hold of the bird that I realised it was some sort of wader , very long beak and longish legs.....I think it was a Snipe. I put it in a box in a quiet room and guessed it would be dead from shock in an hour or so . An hour later I went back for a peep and it was flapping about , so I let it go and it flew away over the roof tops.
I hope it survives as we have snow on the ground.

Well I hope they don't manage it Joy.............I had two mice a few years back ( not through choice I hasten to add , my daughter bought them and fobbed them off on us .....lol ) the cats used to try and get them , they had to live in the bathroom as it was the safest place.......lol

I still can't get over the fact the fatty managed to catch the bird in the first place.....lol......being mostly white I suppose the snow helped him ?

Stray , my dogs do chase the cats if they run up the garden but indoors they all snuggle up together .....lol

Fat Pippin even has a go at chaseing the smaller dog : ))

One of my cats is always bringing in frogs but I can't remember the last time one caught a mouse.

I hope your mouse has gone for good then .

Amanda!

All of us cat lovers have been there.....Puss means well.

To bring a bit of humour to the thread,( and I should add that Iam not great with this copy and paste mallarky!) Who has looked at Simons cat? Not too sure of the link, but I defy any cat owner/lover/know of, to watch these clips, and not say, that is so true.

i once bred a fantastic Devon Rex kitten he was a cream point
and i though i wouldn't show him as a kitten
so i kept him hidden from my cat friends as a surprise
when he got to 9 months i entered him in to a show
and five days before the show
he caught a toad in the cat pen
and ate just a tiny

bit it was enough to kill him i was devastated
