The wonderful presents the cats bring home

I can handle most wild life my animals arrive with but removing a cat from a snake in the dark is not my idea of fun.

Oh, gosh!!!! I'm obsessive about having my cats in @ night but I've got one who is a real escape artist, especially when there are extra people in the house...Well, he got out...again...& just arrived with a small eyed snake. Yes, they're venomous. No, I'm not impressed. Just hoping it's too winter lethargic to be very poisonous & @ least they're not real aggressive but I wouldn't say he was happy.

He brought you a gift! You are so lucky...........not!

Raptors we have... We've had osprey shower us with fish bits, a kite take a pigeon over our heads & shower us with blood & feathers, & kestrel stoop & kill in the paddock [& yes, they are super fast!!!] a whistling kite strike & kill under our moving car...we've seen osprey take mullet so large they can't get airborn, black winged kites do their hover thing... I have a couple of sea eagle feathers in my collection; they honk like geese as they pass overhead. And I had a lovely time chatting with the wild life man @ the mall who had an eagle ~ the most MASSIVE wingspan! I'm a bit besotted with raptors. Can you tell?I was corrupted young; I read Antonia Forest's Falconer's Lure & fell in love. We get a lot of different owls too & I'm nearly as crazy in love with them too. We had barn owl chicks nearby one year & it was pure luck I eventually figured out what was making all the peculiar noises!

Where we used to live we would see bald eagles daily... I was about 20 feet from this magnificent creature!!

And some friends from church had baby owl chicks they had recused and I was intrigued... but then found out what they fed them... baby chicks .... no thank you!!!!

The eagle is gorgeous.

As per the chicks, why not mice? Could chicks be less expensive? Poor babies.

I’m not sure why chicks but that’s what they fed them... I would not!!!
I was thinking of getting a tarantula but thought I had to feed it pinkies so I was like... no! But just learned recently that crickets will suffice... soooooo... we’ll see.. anything baby I don’t have the heart to kill... I could handle older mice though...

Ribh sounds like a good reason to NOT have a cat, who knows what it drags in next

Or just keeep your cat indoors. Of course if it killed and brought something from in the house..........

Growing up as a kid I had a cat that caught EVERYTHING! By the time I was 10 I was used to dealing with cat gifts ranging from mice and birds to squirrels and snakes. He even took on several groundhogs.

To this day I'm the one who gets called to handle the bugs and rodents in the office.

This explains it.. if you feel like reading about it... better than me trying to explain

That was a good read. I've always been intrigued by New Orleans.
