My Cats A Better Hunter Than Me!

haha ,
she won't go hungry lol
i find this is true with me, my cat caught a flippin rabbit !!!!

I am not owned by a cat, but the family next door is. I go out often and find bird, mouse, rat or rabbit parts on my front porch. This cat eats well. I have been told I get the presents because the cat likes me.

My friend's cat would often come to his front porch with a squirrel or a pigeon. He came back with a crow once, too!

Hey, who needs a slingshot when you got a hunting machine!

Its apparently gifts, if the cat is not hungry and it hunts for sport, it offers its game as a gift to the ones it likes. They do not waste what they hunt, I respect them for that.

Perhaps you should think of making a slingshot for your cat ... avoids all those teeth marks on your game ....

Your cat is a better hunter than almost any animal or human on earth. Estimates range as high as 500 million birds killed by cats each year. That number does not include the millions of small animals and reptiles they kill.

Interesting figures Henry although I believe the spider is the ultimate hunter

I used to leave one of the window screens open so the cat could go in and out when she wanted.
That ended one day when she brought a bird into the house.
She hopped in the window with the thing in her mouth, jumped down off the window sill, looked up at me and dropped the bird next to my feet. That's when I realized that the bird was largely unharmed and still perfectly capable of flying.
I spent the next 30 minutes trying to catch the **** thing.

If you dress your rabbit kills with your cat present, and give the cat the liver, kidneys and heart, it won't be long before you'll find a fresh killed rabbit at your doorstep.
Cats'll do that! Great hunters....

I do indeed respect the hunting powers of the cat, though I dislike them for a couple of reasons:

1. I'm a dog person.
2. I'm an avid birdwatcher, and cats are one of the largest killers of birds in the world. However, I do LOVE it when they bring down a house sparrow or a starling.

I should clarify my not-so-clear post. I don't mind if they kill invasive birds or animals that kill other (native) birds. However, I disike it when cats kill native birds that are beneficial and have been in the native food chain for a while.

BTW, I am sorry to hear what happened to your childhood companion, LGD.
