I would have a hard time with a full grown Savannah cat!


That cat looks like one that's good enough to stand its ground against a dog, though some dogs probably wouldn't get the memo, nice kitty.

Speaking of cats, you know how they like to leave dead critters as presents for their humans. Baby left me one the other day, but lacking a bird or mouse, he left me a dead cricket that made the mistake of coming into the house.

And I do hope that you thanked him!

Actually, I once read that people misinterpret kitty offerings as "gifts" and tokens of their affection. The writer of the article theorized that cats leave us dead or half dead offerings because they are appalled at our terrible hunting skills and think that we could benefit from some stalking and pouncing practice.

I heard that they were trying to
trade the gifts for hard cash, but
that humans just don't get it.

That could be, but Grace likes to hunt, either for bugs or for My affection and attention.

That is too funny Ang. Neither Tinkerbell nor Ziggy know what to do with a mouse. Ziggy is a sock stealer, just never manages to bring home matched pairs.
Tessie is a bit better about it. She leaves the fresh ones outside, but twice managed to hide mummies inside.
Purvis's relatives could have helped her and have been busy again in the last week or two.

Same for Happy here. We used to have quite a few mice where we used to live but she didn't show any interest in them whatsoever...

I don't think that's what Baby's doing. He doesn't bring them to me, he just leaves them in the middle of the floor. Mice tend to leave blood stains on the hard wood.

Baby is a surprisingly good mouser, considering that he has no front claws.

My 1st cat was named Baby, He was nearly blind and had rear hip problems, My Mom named Him that.
