MY FAVORITE! Excerpts from a Cat's Diary: Day 183 My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair, must try this on their bed. Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan. There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time. |

| 644341 | 2008-02-28 01:38:00 | How to embarrass a sophisticated know-all townie cat who believes she's a mighty hunter who never loses her prey - Take her to a dry Central Otago hillside where she sees her very first skink - and pounces. Watch while she proudly brings it to you, holding it by the tail. Try not to laugh when it gives one wriggle & runs off, leaving its tail in the cat's mouth. (Wish you'd had a camera to capture the amazed look on the cat's face) |

My cats used to bash them around and wait for the tail to fall off then bite their heads off. |

| 644343 | 2008-02-28 02:05:00 | We have three cats, Cracker, Woody and Smudge. They all have very different temperaments and characters. Cracker is not much of a mouser but we alway know when he has caught one...they are literally flattened to death!! He is a pretty big moggy. Why he lies on them we have no idea, but you never find another mark on them. He even plays with young rabbits but never kills them. Woody is the loony of the tribe. He simply waits till one of the cats have brought in a mouse then nicks It, slopes off and eats most of it. We usually find what's left of the carcase the next morning on the doorstep....usually two back legs and a tail. Now Smudge, the Tortie is a different kettle of fish. She is the smallest of the lot but the best hunter I have ever had. At the age of just over 3 months she brought down a full grown rabbit and dragged it through the bedroom window. She has never stopped since and almost every night I find a rabbit, rat or mouse deposited at my side of the bed. The only time the missus ever had a deposit on her side of the bed was when she brought in a a couple of young ferrets! Being half asleep and the missus screaming her knickers off I just flushed the first one down the bog. Their was something about it though that I couldn't put my finger on. Well, the next morning the missus wakened me again screaming at me to get this bloody rat out of the bedroom. That was when the penny dropped. If you have ever got a whiff of ferret when it sprays you never forget it, much the same as a skunk so I'm told. There is nothing worse than wakening up to go for a pee at some ungodly hour in the morning and getting that squealchy feeling under your foot. Cats seem to know exactly where to place the little b*****s too! The rabbits that Smudge brings in we skin and give to Woody. He now thinks that rabbits come pre-skinned. We tried putting down a whole rabbit for him a few times and the little loony had no idea what to do with it! |

| 644344 | 2008-02-28 04:44:00 | I wonder if we introduced a couple of cats onto Rangitoto Island. Speyed of course. I wonder what it would do to the rat population... :confused: | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 644345 | 2008-02-28 05:45:00 | Over the last few months I've been brought (in the middle of the night!) a bird (the cat leapt over my head while bringing it home) - then when I heard the munching of bones etc, I decided to turn the light on and look. There has also been a stoat (live!) brought in - but despatched (I mean killed - not eaten) fairly quickly in the corner of the bedroom with a pool of blood to tell the tale. And then on two separate occasions - a rat...Also not eaten. AND I feed this pesty cat well. :) |

| 644346 | 2008-02-28 05:56:00 | Some funny stories! :lol: Pixel, my little bugger, has at least brought home some live species which I've managed to save. But I think he just wanted to show us the killing. I've now renamed him Osama Bin Pixel. |
