Olivers on his last warning!Last night, at 1.30 in the morning, I heard Oliver in the bathroom scuttling about. I thought, here we go again, hes got another bird. As soon as he heard me coming, he started growling and shot down the stairs and outside. After checking to see that he hadnt left his "toy" behind, I looked out and saw him in the garden running around after something. The neighbours had come out to see what it was he was chasing. It wasnt a bird nor a mouse. It was a frog! Neighbours were so amused to see this. I wasnt, I couldnt help but wonder if he would bring it back in. About an hour later, I heard him in the loo again, but he didnt run this time. He had a dead mouse. So that was it, there was to be no sleep for me the rest of the night! Im terrified he brings a live one in and it escapes from him and decides to nest somewhere. I never had this bother with my other cats, they never showed much interest in birds or mice or even frogs.

Oh dear, it may help to keep him in at night as dawn and dusk are the time cats catch most prey. This isn't infallible and we are hoping Tolly leaves the rabbits alone this year. We are threatening an even bigger bell on his collar- maybe a cow bell would slow him down! |

I'm very much afraid that Kizzy and Pip are members of this gang - it's particularly horrid at night. Keeping them in is the only foolproof answer but you'd have to put up with the yowling to get out and the scratching and whatever tactics they decide to employ to make you let them out. |

Yes it is a catflap. The only problem is that Benny comes and goes and if I was to lock the flap, he wouldnt get in. Mind you, it was quite funny watching him darting and leaping after this thing and like I said , the neighbours enjoyed it too! I'm sure frogs would be quite foul tasting, so I think if he broke their skin, he wouldnt chase them again! Where on earth is he finding the frogs. Id love to put a camera on him and record where he goes at night!!! |

It really would be the end for Oliver if he tried messing with foxes!! Another thing that gets him going are bumblebees. I tried to tell him it would sting him (but he doesnt understand (lol)). He will if he ever catches one!! |

Pip was playing with a bumblebee today - it was a big queen and I just had to go and rescue it. Luckily it seemed unharmed. I have a flowerpot and a feather as my rescue kit. I am particularly fond of bumblebees and so, unfortunately, is Pip! |

The picture of him chasing the frog made me smile. We were just saying it would be so much fun if you could put a wee camera on their collars! A day in the life of a catsey cat! |
