Bad Cat!

For a few years now a black and white cat has been visiting my garden.
Just lately, it has started to kill rabbits and not baby ones either!
Today, l have found another dead rabbit on my drive with Magpies and Crows pecking at it. I know it was the cat, as it was watching where the rabbits go in my garden.

I suppose it’s just nature....isn’t it?

UJ, You are welcome to come and collect them. When I pick them up on a shovel, they are really heavy. Is that where the saying, ‘dead weight’ comes from?

Re: Bad Cat!

I used to live somewhere that was over run with wild rabbits which the cats used to catch and yes some were huge. Myxomatosis was rife and killed off a lot, it was a terrible disease.

I love cats but they can be horrors killing things but as you say it is their nature.

Re: Bad Cat!

Glad i didn't see the dead rabbits i.d probably start crying lol. Love cats but I don't like the killing instinct . I would have had to get someone else to remove the poor rabbit.

LQ, l am still psyching myself up to go down the drive and pick the dead rabbit up! Eeeeek!

The same cat hides in the bushes and watches my hens, l think it would have a go at them too, if it could!

Re: Bad Cat!

It sounds like it's bringing you gifts so you'll let it move in!
Keep your windows closed or you might get one on your pillow!

Re: Bad Cat!

That’s one thing I don’t particularly like about our cat. She does tend to kill a lot of things. Goffers, rabbits, mice, chipmunks, squirrels etc.,
It upsets me quite a bit. Luckily that’s a good reason to have my man around.
He picks up stuff like this for me.
It’s good to have a man around at times.
