sunman 0 #52 January 14, 2003 Quote i will still think of Oreo as a murderer... Good kitty. Don't worry though, you can train him to not do that anymore. All you have to do is teach him to go against his perfectly honed instincts that helped his species survive through millions of years of evolution.

Casch 0 #53 January 14, 2003 You should see my cat when he plays with Shrews. I can sit out on the back porch and watch him for hours! Once he snatches one out of the field he'll bring it back. Let it crawl around while he stalks it. Then he'll pick it up in his teeth, throw it up in the air and smack it across the yard with his paw, then repeat the process until it's unconcious and no longer entertaining...then...CRUnCH!!! I don't like it though cause he leaves a little ChainSaw Massacre(sp) style blood bath on the front porch the next morning. Little hearts and intestines strung about. I usually give him a kitty treat afterwards. Very impressive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ernokaikkonen 0 #56 January 14, 2003 >Bringing and presenting game is a cat's way of showing love and respect. Yeah yeah, that's what you all say. I'm still convinced that cats do that because they feel sorry for you since you're such a lousy hunter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grega 0 #58 January 14, 2003 That's not really a solution. Then the cats would bring plants into your house. And eat all the flowers if you have any. "George just lucky i guess!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ernokaikkonen 0 #59 January 14, 2003 Ah, good point. Instead of mice and gerbils you'd just have slashed up daffodils and shrubbery waiting on the porch.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #60 January 14, 2003 HA HA HA HA! Actually, I get that, too....Sabre LOVES to bat at the plant leaves. I've had to move two plants outside and finally replaced them with bromiliads that he can't break. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

skydiverbob 0 #62 January 14, 2003 You might be right, all of mine are barn cats and mice etc is their main subsistence, none of them have ever came up and presented me with a present, but I do toss them some from time to time.Who Dares Wins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newshooter12 0 #65 January 14, 2003 don't forget it's a sign of affection from the cat. SHe brings it to you as an offering, a submissive thing b/c you're the boss, rather then just eating it herself. my aunt's one cat Bear did it all the time. We'd never see him eat one though.

Exactly, has no one considered this poor cats feelings and the rejection that it must feel? A big effort on the cats part and it is totally unappreciated. I thinking therapy is in the future here.

jessd 0 #68 January 14, 2003 When I was about 7 my cat brought a small bird into the house and it was not dead. It was real funny watching my dad trying to catch the thing for like an hour.

happythoughts 0 #69 January 14, 2003 Quote cats are neurotic to begin with! THIS IS WHY The way that they look at you without blinking makes them look like Nancy Reagan. Cats are independent, always on the prowl for some "action", indifferent, relaxing in a sunny spot, destroying personal property... It seems like women cat owners would really like men more than they do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #70 January 14, 2003 My cat used to do that...But he'd bring in the mouse alive & unharmed. I think he did it to show off what a great hunter he is. Then he would play with it & when he was done he would eat it. Usually the whole thing, but occasionally he'd leave the head or head & chest, as if he wanted me to mount it on the wall over the fireplace or something. I reacted differently from you, I would always praise my cat for being such a great hunter, and I'd let him eat a much or as little as he wanted. Man what's happened to the human race...Among our ancestors being a great hunter was a GOOD thing! You probably would not exist today if it weren't for that.

"when a cat brings you a dead smelly thing its and expression of love you twit' -Garfield my mother once adopted a stray (or rather it adopted her) named it 'beggar' becasue of the way it would mew whenever you came home.. about a week after it settled in my mother found FOUR tiny headless rabbits lying right outside her bedroom door....her shreik still wakes me up sometimes as it echoes around the planet all i could say thru the tears running down my face was "hey shes a great provider for her family" i miss that cat..she was soooo different from the spoiled inside dwellers we already had. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

All of this has to do with why i didn't actually yell at the cat. I didn't want him to think he did something wrong...I just don't want him to drop it on my pillow when it is still half alive the bring it outside and come back to my room and drop it again-but this time it being dead (EW!!!!) *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
