The feline overlord is locked in a battle of wills with his human underlings- you just can't get good staff these days.  The vet has decreed a specific dietary regime and he doesn't like it at all.  The other day the evening offering was left untouched and in the morning we found the remains of two mice on the mat inside the door by the cat flap and a smug expression on his face as if to say 'if you don't feed me properly there's always fast food'.  I don't think the vet is going to have a solution for this.

I like the idea of your cat’s fast food. Freshly caught in the garden, I guess! Mine will just steal my bread...

He's a hunter - it's a pain at times having to clear up the debris, but when a neighbour had a rat problem in his compost heap I was extremely glad of it - rather shovel a dead rat off the path than have to cope with live ones......shudder.....

I love hunting ones, though they do kill a lot. I had a great tortoiseshell mummy cat who killed everything in sight. Totally desentisised me to rat corpses - I carried them around by their tails. Bees frighten me more than rats...

The birds are the worst - pigeons, and in his prime on one memorable occasion a magpie, which he did his best to get through  the cat flap, which was optimistic as he only just fits through himself - I never expected that tiny kitten that slept in a slipper to grow so huge and predatory.  That was a tough clean up.

The female cat of my childhood specialized in rodents, it seems. But she once caught something very long and very thin. A mammal. No idea still what it was...
