However, she stays close to home and her place in the predator-prey cycle is just above lizards and cicadas. Occasionally a bird, but very rarely.

Moles in the spring and summer, mice as they migrate towards the house as cold weather sets in, and the occasional snake, bird and lizard. She's always very happy to share her prizes with me, even if I do continue to decline them.

Our kitty is always disappointed when we won’t let her bring in the newest mouse or gopher “toy” to play with. :-) She does pretty well, considering she’s declawed, and on a leash.

Yeah, I bopped down the stairs into my garage one day and waiting there on the mat for me was a two-foot snake, with Happy Cat proudly standing watch. Nonvenomous at least.

I have a cat with a “herp hobby”, apparently.

Had a kitty bring me a mouse, he was sure I would love. He came in the dog door with it and dropped it at my feet. It got loose so I set traps up around the house. That morning I was fixing breakfast for the kids and all of a sudden the insides of the toaster started jumping all over the place. I flipped up the toast and out came a smoking mouse. He disappeared again to be caught in a trap a few hours later. The hair on his tail was completely gone, along with brandishing a few scars on his back. Needless to say the toaster was toast. No one would eat anything from it, had to buy a new one!
