"-L." wrote in message oups.com... Do domestic cats bury their prey like the big cats sometimes do? I personally have never seen one do so. Ferals do - but I'm not sure if they bury food for sanitary reasons or if they're burying their stash for later. Its probably a combination of both. I've seen ferals dig up partially eaten prey but I don't know if the cat digging up the prey was the cat who caught and killed it.

My dog dug up a dead golden crowned kinglet that was buried in yard debris (similar to how a cat would cover poop). Just wondering if the neighbor's cat was the guilty party. TIA, -L. I have no idea, as my cats have never caught anything. But, cats do that mock burying move next to their food dish, and will sometimes bury their remaining food with nearby objects (towels, paper, etc). When Smudge does that, he's saying "this food is poo" - he does that also if his sister sicks up - tries to bury it. Never buried anything he caught more fun to bring it in and let it go - and see that human run, wow !! Jim |
