What's the largest prey your cats have brought in?

[Phoenix]

Yesterday I'd have said rats, but today Dylan brought in a full grown rabbit :shock: No idea how he managed to bring it in because the cat flap's been locked all day because Dylan doesn't want to go out today again.

[Leesy]

WOW a rabbit :shock: :shock: , that would certainly take some doing, it wasn`t somebody`s pet rabbit was it.

[Mags]

I hope you took a photo of it RCR :lol:

[Phoenix]

No, looked like a wild rabbit (headless though - Dylan's got an obsession with eating his prey's heads) :shock:

[Leesy]

My Charkie used to have that obsession as well no matter what it was he had caught and killed he had always eaten it`s head (YUK):shock:

[Phoenix]

I hope you took a photo of it RCR :lol:

Please don't make me go and fish it out of the bin Mags! :shock: Like I said it's a bit gruesome because it was headless and had it's guts hanging out :shock:

[cats' staff]

Years ago a childhood cat bougt home a very large koi carp - gulp!

[Mags]

Please don't make me go and fish it out of the bin Mags! :shock: Like I said it's a bit gruesome because it was headless and had it's guts hanging out :shock:
Not likely RCR ..... I didn't realise it was headless!! :cat36:lol:

Kizzy has so far contented herself with small mice, voles and shrews - nothing the size of a full grown bunny!

[dandysmom]

Dylan is quite the hunter! Leia is indoors as you know, but did kill a quite large rat that had gotten in. Fortunately, she never eats them .........cat food comes in tins!!!

[calismum]

My first cat Shanti (a male) brought me home a half drowned kitten! She was about 5 weeks old and we managed to nurse her to health and kept her.

[dandysmom]

What a lovely story, CM!

[smokytopaz]

I once had a ginger tom, Rufus, and he brought in a hamster. Said Hammy was alive and well and totally unafraid of Rufus. Rufus was struggling to get through the cat flap backwards............ and then we both sat and looked at the Hamster.

Maybe rabbit pie will wait another year.:shock:

[MrsH]

We had a dead pigeon dragged in through the cat-flap once.

[Moli]

I do not know if its considered prey, but Oliver when just a kitten brought home as stuffed owl, twice the size of himself, which I discovered he had pinched from the child next door!!!

[smokytopaz]

Rufus's hamster was also pinched from the child next door!

[pookyandjo]

one of my previous cats... a tabby and white named John had a thing about removing the head of his prey:shock: .... the biggest thing he brought home was a seagull... minus its head of course...:roll: but then i suppuse seagulls are still considered as rats..... albeit ones with wings!:twisted:

[Luke]

Erm well of mice, rats, bats, grass snakes, rabbits, voles, pigeons, ducks, ducklings, (both from the river flowing near our house), on a few occasions young hares, moles, moorehens, and on one occasion a pheasant (unmarked and I believe ended up as part of sunday lunch at my grandparents house!) so take your pick:lol:

[Gumby Cat]

Years ago one of my cats staggered in with a large wood pigeon almost as big as himself! How on earth he got it through the cat flap I could never fathom out.

[niki71uk]

my toby then bout 6 mnths brought hom a seagull,2 full wings a bit of body and 2 legs,all still attached.he'd brought it in through the window.i woke up hearing crunching noises,got a plastic bag turned inside out n lifted it up put it out the window,closed the window n went back to bed !!!!!!

Merlin was a bit of a scavenger and once bought home a roast potato (quite dead) and on another occasion a rather large piece of bacon rind, both presumable stolen for someone's bird table!

[EmmaG]

LOL Angie at the Roast Potato!

Arthur caught a rabbit once, still alive and dragged it up the garden, it was making a terrible noise! OH got if off of him and released it back into the field behind where we live.

He has also brought in a rat.

[cats' staff]

A previous cat, Herod, did bring home a pack of bacon once, slightly savaged at one corner. I'm veggie so it wasn't mine but I never found which neighbour he nicked it from! :oops:

[angieh]

..... a cat called "Herod" - and bacon ........ hmmmmmmmm

[TraceyRisebrow]

when we had our first kittens 20 years ago I remember going to the back door after seeing them outside the cat flap wondering why they were not coming in. There they were (only about 4 months old) sitting either side of a very big, very dead rat. Clearly it had been a team effort but they were unable to get it through the cat flap!

shock and horror!!!:shock: :shock: :shock:

I hope you attached a bell to his collar after that so no more unsuspecting roast potatoes had to die at the hands of your Merlin!;)

..... a cat called "Herod" - and bacon ........ hmmmmmmmm

Others have commented on his name - he 'slaughtered innocents' was my logic but no he wasn't a kosher cat...... Look I was an archaeology student at the time, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! (and yes I did regret it when he went missing once and I had to walk the streets of Sheffield shouting his name loudly! He finally came home with a 'that'll teach you' glint in his eye)

[angieh]

Your surname isn't Antiphas, by any chance???

[cats' staff]

Your surname isn't Antiphas, by any chance???

No but Herod would have liked 'the Great' as a surname!

If you'd gone around the streets of Sheffield shouting "Herod the Great" I suspect you may have been "taken into protective custody"!

:shock: Well, Smudge, now departed,must have been my greatest pilferer - pigeons, moles, a full grown brown rat which HE ATE ! yuk, all manner of birds and small mousey type animals, but the biggest thing he ever dragged home was a grey squirrel!! dragged it very dead up the path and proudly stood by it as we had fits. Apparently it was stiff as a board and had been dead some time but old Smudge was as pleased as punch!

Max Cat often nabbed goldfish from my neighbours pond. But I think a leg of pork (or beef or lamb) was his biggest trophy, steaming hot and followed by every cat in the neighbourhood - I caught a glimpse of him struggling up the drive with it. (Still no idea whose it was!) I still laugh. Jan x :D

[angieh]

Goodness Jan - a roast joint! Now that has got to be the best "prey"!

And a grey squirrel ....... Dandysmom would approve of that!

[Leesy]

:smt005 :smt005 :smt005 Jan that sounds soooooo funny, I am just trying to picture a cat dragging a joint up the drive, I would love to have seen the faces of whose ever it was.

[dandysmom]

Indeed! Bless that cat!!! :-D
