Ive got two cats. Ones a hunter that'll chase anything the other is a defender that will growl when someone's at the door.
They found a mouse a month ago and all they did was tap at it, no claws, and follow and just watch it. Zero interest in taking care of it.
Eventually I just picked it up and put it outside. Ive never been so disappointed in my life lol
"Tap and Follow" is the new "Like and Subscribe"
Lol!
You picked up a live wild mouse with your bare hands? They're a very big disease vector, and they bite. Be careful!
I was thankful that our cat was a straight up murder machine. She kept anything we wouldn't want, far away from our house, including other cats. She was seriously the most bad-ass cat I've ever met. Never once lost a fight.
No I didn't literally pick it up, i got it into a small box.
Damn, I was born in the countryside so the cats I grew up with were all so much more savages.
I've seen one of my cat eat the whole mouse in front of me once, it was quite surprising how easily it was gone, nothing left.
House cats. They chase toys and laser beam dots for a living.
I had the stupidest cat I've ever had (calico, not orange) and we were hanging out outside in the middle of the night while I barbecued. a mouse-sized rat ran directly onto her paws. she looked at me like "well now what am I supposed to do" and then picked it up by its scruff. started trotting around the yard so proud it "caught" a rat. only other thing she ever caught was a cold.
That gave me a good laugh, thank you
i hoped you'd like it. it gives me a chuckle whenever I think about that cat.
