Thanks. Mine really likes to bring in squirrels, rabbits, and snakes. Of course, he gets lizards, frogs, and birds, too.

The rabbits and the birds, if I’m not in the immediate area, he’ll rip apart and eat, making a huge mess, but the others he just likes to “play” with, then kill them and leave them for us to remove. LOL

Something I’ve never noticed before, but his hunting habits change as he ages, he’s almost 10 now. He used run up a tree and get birds, but, the other day I saw him laying on his back next to the woods, and for some reason the birds were attracted to him, then he sprang up, catching a beautiful red Cardinal, which he ate.

Isn’t nature wonderful? LOL

That’s sad. My ferals don’t even kill the birds.....but i feed them 24-7. They will look at the birds (which I feed too) and act like their interested and sometimes will get up and lunge at them playfully.....but i’ve never seen any of them work at catching a bird. But they have left me 2 beheaded rats. My indoor cats will get any bugs or lizards that sneak in the house. Maybe you should put a bell on that cat...he’s a big heavy guy right? I’m surprised he can catch a bird....
