Another kitty-cruelty tale: The same cat who beheaded the bunny at my Dad's house once caught a prairie dog, chewed his two front legs off, then chased him around the yard. Poor little thing just had to use it's chin as a sled, and push as hard as he could with his remaining back legs.

Very sweet cat, otherwise.

as a supporter, admirer, and protector of bunnies, i am outraged. this is why bunnies do not trust anything with canines.

As least Fluffy didn't leave the head and other assorted parts under your bed.

My hell-kitten got in the habit of bringing the bunnies into the house and chasing them here. I saved a few. Didn't save others.

It's just what cats do. Especially hell-cats.

Not sure Comet woulda done so well against the Bunnies around here, they're aggressive little gits - they chased the Raccoons out of the park to obtain feeding rights to the two apple trees, and it was kinda funny watching an Omnivore get chased off by an Herbivore half it's size...

Lepus *do* have a nasty streak, under certain circumstances.

The ones around here are smart, too, one of em was being (unbeknownst to me) chased by a cat, runs around the corner, sees me, and hides BEHIND me, and just as I am wondering about such bizarre conduct, round the corner comes one of the local cats, who takes one look at me and still annoyed by having their intented turf fight with blackie broken up the night before cause I didn't wanna hear the noise... takes off the other way.

I look back at the bunny merrily hopping off, all but giggling up it's sleeve, hmmph.

Nature can be pretty hardcore, and you can't really fault a cat for being a cat - but if you REALLY don't want them bringing home trophies, you can try attaching a bell to their collar, just don't be surprised if they manage to disconnect it, convince another cat to chew it off for em, or use ambush tactics to keep it from giving them away to prey - blackie does that, she has a rather audible bell attached, but will hunker down in the bushes and remain perfectly still till she pounces, so mostly hearing that bell means imminent doom.

Still, it's worth a try.

At least YOUR cat didn't bring you a fregmekkin HUGE bloody spider, while you were still half asleep, and still kickin on the assumption you'd wanna play with it too!

I presume she took my shrieking and battering it with a pillow (which is SOOOO getting tossed and replaced, yick!) for "playing" with it, cause she seemed pretty pleased with herself.

Either that or she was taking revenge for being cut off table food, ya never know.

Friggin spiders, yeeeugh *shudder*.

That would be a feline death sentence in my book, Frem.
EWWWUE!!!

Hell, read Watership Down. Rabbit fights can get downright bloody.

Isn't that a type of ninja training?

From the sound of things, your cat has made genin.

Not one of mine, Cybersnark - one of the locals, I am a nightwatchman, and have a close affiliation with the nocturnal wildlife, so I know all the local cats, Blackie, Flygirl, Pancake, Rumble - Nitwit moved out with his owners though, I miss him.

And yeah, Blackie is ninjakitty, but Flygirl is WORSE, she climbs trees and ambushes nesting birds for midnight snacking, and has a tendancy to jump down out of trees right next to you all of the sudden like at 2-3am in the morning, which can be right disconcerting, yanno - she's like a badass kitty paratrooper.

As for my not-allowed-outside cats, Kallista is more mafia godmother, and Puppy is viking berserker, one's the brains, the other is the brawn... twas puppy that brought me the spider, and when she gets all after a bug, it gets wacky around here.
