Greedy

[tinyjo]

Cassie's been breaking her diet. She caught a bird yesterday (much to Rach's shock) although she didn't actually eat it or anything - Rach got her to drop it and then took it to the vets - and this morning I come downstairs to find half a mouse on the carpet. Literally. Oh the joys of living with a predator!

One tip - as soon as the house starts smelling slightly unusual, start searching for hidden mouse corpses. You don't want one to become ripe under the sofa.

On Cat Psychology

[applez.livejournal.com]

From what I've read, the hunting prey and bringing it back to the owners, especially alive, usually isn't an indicator that the cat isn't being fed enough ...

rather it's a kind of maternal instinct on the part of that cat trying to teach its human 'children' how to hunt.

The solution, I don't know ... but it would be well worth reading up on this sort of thing.
