She does fetch!

We had a cat when I was little that would fetch. It was in his pound advertising when mom got him

I remember not realizing how dangerous rats were until they were a big danger in the Warrior cat series. Same with badgers and beavers.

That's too funny!! And I'm sure badgers are dangerous, but I'm not seeing a huge beaver threat. Of course, most people don't know how BIG beavers are. We had one wander through, the cat with me took one look, hissed and booked it. It was bigger than the Border Collie.

But seriously though, rats have killed cats. Sometimes in the initial fight, sometimes the cat dies of it's injuries later. Karma who I mentioned above would have died if I hadn't crawled under a cabin to drag him out and take him to a vet. The huge abscess wasn't his only bite, just the one that blew up the most.

Oh I’ve read those books. I’ve also read Anton and Cecil Cats at Sea where rats were an issue. I’ve heard cats won’t go after rats and I know they are dangerous. But that won’t stop Tiger, even though she’s our smallest cat.
Fortunately, she was already 4 when the rats moved in. Hopefully she can pass on her age-earned wisdoms to the new kittens.
Personally, I don’t think my mother understands that getting barn cats won’t be the solution. I don’t actually want them. I like the three we already have. But here we are.

Beavers @Kessel23
^^^
I agree that they’re not dangerous, just a big nuisance. Kessel could tell you.

The cats were on the beaver dam, so that was likely what caused the fight. I'm not saying I'd expect a beaver to wander up to a cat and try to kill it out of nowhere.

Oh, yeah. With those huge teeth. If they can do that with trees, imagine what they can do with your limbs!

Yeah, it was definitely a scene burned into my memory as a 3rd grader reading that book.

Iz was proud of her porch kitty's kill.

Lol I have no idea why but it died with a very cute face.

It's dead? It looks so cute to be dead.

Oh yes. It was stiff.
