We caught rats!

I was just outside the back door today and I saw Boyfriend catch something
from near the shed. He is still not an accomplished killer and he threw it
around a bit before he finally got the hang of the killing bite and took it
away down the garden to eat it.
Kitty watched.
Ten minutes later I heard the noise she always makes if she's got prey and
she had a young rat too, paraded it around proudly and ate it all up in my
kitchen.
I always think that if the cats can eat the young ones, it stops them
growing up ;-)

Head-biter or tail-biter? Marble always crunches down on the skulls first if
I don't manage to get to him in time. There's nothing quite like the sound
of cat fang munching down on rat skull...

Neck biter for the kill and then the skull goes down first. Kitty has
taught BF well. He just needs to learn he has to grip harder to kill
outright, he's getting there. If KFC thinks he's useless she will take his
prey right out of his mouth and crunch it. Like "that's how it's done.."

I think Molly had a pretty low opinion of Jake when she first started living
here. All he did was wander about and sleep and kowtow to the resident
humans. I'm guessing she credited the season with the relative lack of
vermin and birds

Now she seems a bit puzzled that he still doesn't appear to be doing much.
But can often be seen cleaning himself from the remains of prey.

She is starting to realize that Bast forgive, spoiled Temple Cat or no, he
is possible her match.

BF is now wondering if his girlfriend Mimi has moved to the UK. If so he
will send her his address. But he thinks not, he is a very intelligent cat.
He knows very well this is not a real post from his love, Mimi, she lives in
America.

You are not the real Mimi and you are very naughty to pretend that you are,
I'm not stupid, you know. I know my Mimi and you are not her.

Kudos to the Mighty Hunters! )

I hope their catching some young rats serves a twofold purpose. It
certainly takes those particular rats out of the gene pool. But maybe it
will also convince the mother rat to pack up her remaining offspring and
move to another location. Here's hoping!
