Well, I my youngest cat has now given me 3 dead little mice, in one day.
She walks up to me and just drops them, like here it is.

She walks away like the mighty hunter she is.

Where she is finding the mice outside I don't know, I don't think they are in the house.

1. Mine catch them in the house and eat them right in the middle of the living room.
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

Fur and all.

2. You have a champion mouser who takes her job seriously.
Treasure her. She'll never let you down.

4. All those games of laser tag as paid off.
She is so funny the way she walks with the mice in her mouth.

She is so proud of herself, a little lion.

She is sleeping now, all wore out.

7. if you don't like having dead animal bits in the house
you could find a way for her to not get in with them. I had a cat who like to leave lots of presents for me on the front porch (usually just the organs of some critter). We didn't have a pet door, and if he had something in his mouth, he wasn't let it (some times he'd sneak it in though). My brother has a kitty that brings in things from outside, so he fixed the pet door to be exit only - that way kitty can go out on an adventure, but not come back in until someone opens the door... never has to be out for longer than a few hours that way, but no squirrel parts are hidden around the house either.

8. Sounds like a good idea.
She had just started to go out, and she still needs the cat door to open both ways.

She was afraid for the longest to go out.


We do lock it at night.

She is looking out for me.

13. My kitty has a stool like that to lay on.
She will not lay on the floor, always off the ground.

12. That ties Lucy's single-day record
In her career, she's fetched maybe 40 or 50, plus several birds (not all of whom were flight-incapable when she brought 'em inside), a coupla large moths and once a small rabbit.

She's apparently retired now, though.

15. My kitty will be two years old this spring.
She is the boss of all the cats.

I will need to add a higher layer of wire around the bird feeding area, and so far she seems not to like trees.

19. Show some gratitude and eat one in front of her.
Make yummie cruchie sounds to show you appreciate her mad-mousing skills.
