Your daily cat and kitten news

I got woken up this morning by someone running around the landing at great speed. It went on much longer than normal sock-chasing, so I got up to have a look, and saw her departing downstairs with something much bigger than usual in her mouth.

When I properly got up she was in the lounge wondering what to do with the bits she didn't want to eat.

Mighty predator!

What was the mess before it was dismembered? She really has only left the crunchy bits, hasn't she? That'll teach you for not getting up at 3am to feed her :D

What you see in the photo is what greeted me. There were lots of feathers, a head and an internal organ I couldn't identify.

As for feeding, she permanently has dried food available to her. This morning was an odd episode, firstly because she hadn't brought anything in since the early days of lockdown 1.

The other reason it was weird was that she normally keeps them alive, so as to chase them and rejoice in their terror.
 
That is an incredible tableau of destruction. "I call this one The Horrors of War" - by Missy, 2021. Pigeon or a collared dove ... the head is helpfully if you'll excuse the phrase, in the dead centre of the image. The organ (I can't see it but guessing) might be the crop, it's full of grit and grindy stuff that cats often don't eat; in mammals they'll often leave the gall bladders because they taste really bitter.

Sorry about your carpet stavros.

We occasionally get that sort of carnage (worst was a headless squirrel) but mostly it’s confined to finding some unidentified internal organ on the stairs
 
Fluffy neurotic cat came and sat on me of her own accord! She has never done that before. She wasn’t badly treated where we got her from, she just wasn’t a pet (and was one of lots), so it’s taken her a long time to relax and trust us.
Also I’ve taught her to high five

Meanwhile this big daft bugger went to sleep half on and half off the top step of the stairs, and shortly after this photo was taken fell into the bath when trying to drink from it. In this pic he was standing on the floor on his hind legs, but he decided to jump up- and missed 😂😳

I've been in bed most of the day with a headache / migraine

First Casper came up to make sure I was alright

The boys brother, Clive, walked quietly up the bed and plonked himself by my side

For those who can remember we got all three (FiFi is the third) six years ago this month

This is the very first time that I've had the boys cuddled up with me in all that time

Hope your cuddle puddle helps your recovery!

Sorry about your carpet stavros.

I wouldn't call it her greatest hit. That was a couple of years ago, during the summer, when I saw her appear over the back fence with most of a pigeon in her mouth. The head had been dispensed with, and the stomach had been methodically ripped open. It was a complete mess, so I quickly legged it out to the patio to stop her bringing it inside.
