Sharing a bed with three killers
Came home last night to find a very dead mouse under my computer
table. Cats are truely amazing as they will sleep on your chest purring and yet turn into small killing machines as needed. So far in the last year or so two mouses and one rat found out that it was not a wise thing to enter a home with three killers on guard. Of course I was not all that happy, the time I woke up to find they had gotten a bird into my home and then took it apart all over the house. Feathers and bird parts everywhere! |

Yes, we often wonder at our petite predators--like what instinct
prompts Tyche to devour ladybugs. DP lifted her up as a parent would a toddler daughter and told her to "look at pretty ladybug..." Out went a paw...WHAP...that swung to a mouth...CHOMP...and while DP stared at the kitten in his arms, horrified, Tyche made a very pleased GULP. Way to go Vegetarian Father. She's not taking after you much, is she? --Fil Cats are truely amazing as they will sleep on your chest purring and yet turn into small killing machines as needed. |

Sometimes they just remind us they're little predators, and at heart, they're not much different than the big cats. The main difference is the size of the prey they go after. I remember scaring away a bird the Late Isadora was stalking, and she turned and gave me the DIRTIEST look! Although, given the sad events at the San Francisco Zoo on Christmas Day, I'm awfully grateful my girls are the size they are and as tame and sweet as they are. I wouldn't wish being mauled by a tiger on anyone and would certainly be terrified if I came in contact with a free and angry adult tiger, but I feel very sad about the death of Tatiana, too. She got the worst of the deal all the way around, a wild animal caged in a zoo, and then shot dead for acting in accordance with her nature. Of course, if she'd lived wild, she might also have been shot by poachers. Melissa |

He was *surprised* at this?? Sure. The kittens seemed to be learning all their other behaviours from him--like typing, and touching with the paw (a gesture we call "blessing" but, in fact, they are trying to pet us and one another as we pet them)--the fact that they've also got "catch and eat" in their behaviour list, well, HE didn't teach them that --Fil |
