Reminds me of the time my cat Beauregard decided to lunch on the chicken I had thawing on the kitchen counter. I finally found it (and him) under a bed. After a wild-eyed cussin' chase with a broom thru the entire house, he finally ended up atop the shower curtain rod in the master bathroom, whereupon I dissolved in tears and laughter. My kids were rolling on the floor. I showed him, though. After that, I made sure never to leave food out where he could find it!

BTW, any cat owners have a good way to keep your cat from killing the neighbor's birds? They have a cat buffet (feeder) right next to the wall between us and our male kitty Romeo keeps dragging birds in and getting feathers and blood all over. He wears two bells...don't help.

Well sure - kill them yourself - save the cat the trouble...

Keep the vermin locked up indoors. You may argue that roaming is natural for vermin, but I would counter that killing and eating vermin is natural for dogs. Would that satisfy you if you vermin was killed by an unleashed dog?

OK, first - a story about a cat who walked across my very first attempt at homemade cheese cake right before it was time to take it into my guests. There were those little feetprints. So I just took a table knife and smoothed it over.

Second, convince your neighbors like we have that the birds need to have a preditor to keep them strong and also, feed the birds yourself so your cat won't have to leave the yard.
