LOL! And - um.... button is not averse to eating her prey once she is done playing with it..... but I spare my readers too many sordid details!<br /><br />Mickle - Yeah Fitz was in the same category as your lovely Zebby, Button is in the Hunter category - most definintely! But she IS still a gorgeous cat.....Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-32519005787616893712009-09-08T12:36:00.993+01:002009-09-08T12:36:00.993+01:00The only bird Bits ever caught flew into a window ...The only bird Bits ever caught flew into a window an stunned itself first. Instead she was fiecely territorial and would beat up all the local cats and dogs. My folks started shutting her in at night when she discovered possums. Better a highly pissed off cat then a bereft 10 year old Mickle.<br /><br />A lot of cats know how to hunt instinctively, and a small percentage are loving and complete wusses like Zebby. <br /><br />And we love them because of their very contrariness!Mickle in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432796020646607634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-69541434163387780082009-09-08T12:10:18.098+01:002009-09-08T12:10:18.098+01:00Hmm, I'll remember not to bring anything live ...Hmm, I'll remember not to bring anything live for you when I come to visit if that is how you show your gratitude!!<br /><br />I've had three cats and only one of them has ever actually eaten a mouse, and even then it was only once.

Certainly Fitzi-cat was very much like Zebby - the only time I *did* catch him with a bird in his mouth he had a look of panic on his face, which turned to relief when I yelled "drop it", which he promptly did and never repeated the incident!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-11103011743721712922009-09-07T12:05:39.989+01:002009-09-07T12:05:39.989+01:00Luckily Zebby doesn't hunt - I don't think...Luckily Zebby doesn't hunt - I don't think he knows how!<br /><br />Huggles from me and ol' snoreyboyMickle in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432796020646607634noreply@blogger.com
