| CheshireKat I love your present avatar. Is that your cat or just something you got on-line?

| No, that's not my cat. I saw this cat somewhere on the internet and thought it was funny. CATTITUDE!

I have a lingering suspicion this is actually from CK's webcam.

I think I can just make out some teeth marks already on the mouse.

Oh what a beautiful cat. Reminds me of my sister once had a cat that looked like that cat but she only had three legs. We used to call her hop along Lucy.
My ginger cat Kai used to bring in a lot of mice and sit there and eat them in front of me sometimes. Sometimes he'd bring them in and let them loose hoping I would play with it with him, but I'd just put humane mouse traps down.
Fortunately he does not bring them in now.

| My big white cat used to be quite the bird hunter. She found one in my furnace closet one time. Once she brought one in from outside and set it on the floor next to her food dish in the kitchen. Then she layed down on the carpet in the entry way to the kitchen to take a nap before eating the bird. Poor bird was too scared to move.

Stories such as these aren't going to do anything to help bring the Cat Fanciers into the Audubon Society.
My old cat Felix - who looked almost exactly as the fellow in your avatar - was a merciless predator.
It was a facet to his personality that caused me some grief, such as when I found him under my mother's bed with my rather incomplete pet gerbil. The 8 inch diameter pool of crimson on the floor nearby had clued me as to his locale.
On another occasion - as with careful inspection I was able to discern - he'd brought a squirrel into the house; but it really didn't agree with him. (In an admittedly belated deference to this topic's name I will not describe the scene further.)
The most amazing thing was seeing him take out an adult blue bird. He crept up stealthily from behind an oak tree through some tall grass to a distance of about 2 meters, waiting until the bird was turned away from him to start his attack. Suddenly he shot himself at the bird, bounded at the half-way point, and caught the poor thing in mid-air a short distance off the ground in a triangulation of paws and jaws.
I would have stopped him from doing these things if I'd had the presence of mind or means to do so, but on the other hand, it lifts my heart to remember the pride with which he held himself - tail *high* in the air crooked alternately in one direction then the other - after one of these conquests.
As for mice, having had them eat and recreate and whatnot en mass amongst a group of my personal possessions, I have lost what sympathy for the;)  m I once felt.

| I do not like mice at all. One night while watching TV I saw something out of the corner of my eye and it was a mouse running along the baseboard. Needless to say, I was at the store at 10 pm at night buying mouse traps. I couldn't sleep a wink that night knowing it was in my house, I looked at the traps the next morning and no mouse was caught. Another sleepless night later I looked again and had caught the cutest little white and gray mouse. I kind of felt bad about it dying, but just couldn't get over the fact one had been running around the house, so I chucked it in the trash and have been mouse free ever since.

| I'm surprised your cat went after a rodent the size of a squirrel. Some of the squirrels around here are nearly as big as cats! After all, a squirrel is just a rat with a better tailor.

Makes me think of my sister's cat when she was a kitty and she could a huge koi crap fish. It was bigger then her. She turned up with it at their back garden door, with it's tail wagging backwards and forwards.
My sister said the fish only survived when her cat smudge lost interest in it and because it had been raining there was quite alot of water about so the fish survived.

The neighbor's golden retriever once got a little too close to Felix and came away with a deeply cleft nose. After about a year-and-a-half the tables turned back again, but until then that dog would go *running* at the first sight of the black-and-white cat. I think the squirrel was a small-ish one, but there wasn't much left to judge by except the fluffy bits of grey fur.
