I didn't mean "grow out of it" in the sense that I wanted he to stop
catching the mice, rather I wondered if she might learn to kill them
rather
than leaving them to the slow lingering death that she seems to favour at
the moment. I'm SOOO glad she doesn't broing snakes in though (is a
cottonmouth something poisonous?)

If your cat is well fed and engaging in sport hunting, most likely she will
continue as she has. If hunting were her primary food source, the kills
would come quickly. Let one of her playtoys get a nip on her lip or nose and
see how quickly she knows how to kill.

Yes the cottonmouth is poisonous. It's an aquatic snake about 3 - 4 feet
long at maturity. The interior of the mouth is white, thus the term
cottonmouth. They can be quite aggressive if you stray into their nesting
areas when swimming.

Wow! First you tear Robzip apart, and just a few hours later, you're
engaging him in light-hearted banter. Are you bi-polar? BTW, you spelled
'bring' wrong.

Yes, I did spell it wrong (typings not my strong point I'm afraid) I must
admit, I don't really look at the names much, just the posts and I didn't
realise that I was replying to the same person as I had just flamed in the
other thread! (Jeannie repeats 100 times....I *must* pay attention...I
*must* pay attention....)

I do this too. It is called not taking Usenet too seriously.
And ... it's a good thing.



Thank God it's not just me then :-)

Hee! However, it sometimes p*sses off people who
DO take it a bit more seriously.
