Davkaus Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 A few months ago one of mine brought in a tiny black baby bird, so young it didn't even have feathers on it. Physically unharmed but the poor thing was in shock and wouldn't move. I put it in a box in the airing cupboard to keep warm for twenty minutes and he was hopping around a little bit, so I put the box out in the garden and waited. A few birds circled over but wouldn't come down, and my cats were going mental trying to get their toy back. I was just wondering whether to call some kind of bird protection group when a crow came swooping down and picked it up, then flew off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid our cat brought a cooked roast chicken home. I really hope that whoevers chicken that was is still confused to this day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Our cat, Honey, followed us out for a walk on the weekend. We live about 10/11 houses down from the Bumble Hole entrance in Netherton, she followed us all the way to there, meowed, then disappeared into the trees. Took her ages to come back. Don't think she's ever ventured that far before. Probably got lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 A few years back I saw a cat dragging a cooked turkey over the road on xmas day. Gods honest truth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted January 5, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2017 A stray cat has been sleeping on and off in a corner on our porch. So my kids put a old pillow there and now it returns every day. I kinda like it. No mice in the traps in the garage anymore. Now for a name (male). VT to the rescue?

maqroll Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I gave Reggie a smoked sardine today. He destroyed the thing in about three bites, purring like an engine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Reggie update- He's not doling out the charms like he was the first week there...but he still makes time twice a day to flop down on my lap and demand a belly rub. His world has expanded to include my back hallway and my porch, where I moved his litter box. I set things up so he has a 4 level climbing arrangement. He's content to sit out there and watch the world go by outside. To a limit. He will want two regular meals, thank you very much, and preferably with a couple of snacks along the way. The rest of the time he's chasing things, jumping around, hiding behind plants and then pouncing on me, generally spazzing out. And then there's times like now, when he's curled up in a deep slumber. Easy Street has got to be a nice place to be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
