Subject: RE: BS: Presents from your cat
Nushka. This cat was by-God the biggest hunting cat I have ever personally known. She caught *everything*. She brought home a lot of dead things over the years (birds, squirrels, rats, mice, chipmunks), but the rabbit that was twice her size and weight was a bit of a shock. Many times, she'd bring them home alive. She brought us a couple of mice once. I am guessing from the rodent problem we had in the house afterwards that one was male and the other female. I guess she was thinking she might want a fresh snack late at night, and since she hadn't grown opposable thumbs in order to get into the fridge, she'd just have to farm them.
