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

[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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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!!!

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!

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)
