    She found a mouses's head on the driveway : took a photo to show kids in case decideed to eat it.

    Upon going inside she found cat had eaten the rest and then thrown up bits of fur, claws, stomach etc. She used to be a carer and is used to sicly scenes : but this one turned her stomach.

    I was so upset I was not at home to clear up the mess.
    God. How long has Mrs BP kept cats?

    I have experienced (variously) over the years:

    1) Back half of a mole left next to my slippers

    2) A live mole in the kitchen (they can't get traction on quarry tiles so the 'swim' around in mad circles.

    3) A live and completely uninjured baby rabbit in my bathroom

    4) A badly mauled, nearly-bald, woodpigeon and a ton of feathers in my bedroom (had to perform a mercy killing)

    5) A vast, nauseating-looking rat that looked like it had been machine-gunned in some gangster bloodbath, under the sofa in my study.

    Cats eh? Brilliant (but bastards as well).

    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

      Ours killed a squirrel (with the aid of neighbour's cat) and bought a dead rat into house. Regulars for pigeons, birds, frogs, mice. Living and dead.

      Mrs BP is huge cat fan. In HK she lived on llama and helped at their cat sanctuary. Mother cat died giving birth and she handed reared 6 kittens : they had to be fed every 2 hours!

      Not sure I am keen : but Mrs BP always gets her way. Like most women really.

        I don't understand the attraction of cats. But, I think you should call them Tess and Tickle.

              Good call. How about Jenny and Tallwarts?

                Our elder cat, now 17 and rather decrepit, caught a mouse in the garage yesterday. I was quite amazed at his athleticism as he sprinted out from under a cupboard with the mouse hanging from his jaw. The younger cat, 9 and rather fitter, then stole it and ate part of it, before deciding it didn’t meet her exacting requirements and wandering off in a huff. Meanwhile, elder cat was enjoying the foie gras I dropped while making some snacks for Mrs Tester and myself. Age and guile…

                  I've never seen a cat kill a squirrel. The squizzers are usually far too quick for the cats.

                  I remember years ago a fat old tom belonging to my neighbour getting stuck halfway up a tree. He was overcome by his bloodlust, but undone by his lack of agility.

                  The squirrels came down the tree (upsidedown) and chattered at, and scolded the poor old moggy. I swear the squirrels were laughing at him.

                    He's proving to you that he is still top cat.
