Angus and the dead mouse.

PixelRabbit · Dec 15, 2012

Angus was doing his job last night and found himself a squeaky toy!
Unfortunately it has now lost it's squeak.
I let him play with it for a while before I disposed of it.
Unfortunately he was strongly backlit and I didn't want to use flash, Angus doesn't appreciate it much lol

Want some more squeaky toys? I'm sure I could scrounge some up and ship 'em to you.

I hope you praised him and showered him with affection!!!

Mully, country girl through and through but I still didn't "let" it in lol but I suppose I didn't quickly dispose of it either

Sparky, erm no thanks lol we have plenty! Last year the cats found a nest somewhere in the basement, they didn't wreak havoc on the nest all at once, they brought them up one by one over days... that was fun! lol

Did he at least offer to share it with you?

My inside cats have never seen a real mouse, but my outside herd routinely leave me offerings at my front door as payment for the food, water and warm milk I put out for them.

Derrel, sure did! Our cats are indoor cats, I love that they get to "be cats" by doing us the service of keeping us rodent free. I always feel kinda guilty taking away the squeaky toys but I know they will just go and find another one

You are lucky your offerings appear at your front door, we have had the pleasure of them sharing their LIVE squeaky toys with us in bed in the middle of the night, yeah, not fun but funny as hell after the fact lol

I have a big 7ft black racer that lives under the house .... it never comes in but have not had a mouse problem either and living in the country mice are everywhere .....he can stay Funny when one of my llamas sees a mouse ...they stare at it then try to chase it, it runs them in circles.

YES! Another good reason people shouldn't automatically kill every snake they see... they are very beneficial, even the venomous types. We would be overrun by Order Rodentia if they were not around!

I love the way our furred and feathered children will try to share their favorite things with us. Have had many cats do that with their prey! I am sure MLeek has stories of parrot's regurgitating food to "feed" her.... it is a sign of love! I have had that happen on many occasions! A friend had a one of the Corvus species, an African banded crow (if I remember correctly) that fell in love with me. It would often deposit a small amount of half digested mealworms on my shoulder, as a sign of affection. Made it interesting at meals, since he was allowed free access to the house.
