Cat Carnage! Oh the humanity!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

Here's my cat, Pixel with her toy basket. I just added fresh toy mice to it (oh yeah, NOW your interested in your toys):


This is her routine: She gets new mice, she chew the tails off....


...she spends all night knocking them under the stove (note lack of tails):

[rocktivity]

1. She does that because to scare the real mice away

You know, the way a scarecrow scares crows?

:crazy:

2. just be glad they are not

the real thing.

8. I had a cat that used to go gangbusters when I opened up the summer house

She'd rack up ten kills in ten minutes, and pile them at my feet. The rest would run like hell, and we never had a one while the cat was in residence!!!

A bit of disgust having to look at the carnage, but the broom and a dustpan would take care of it....she was, if nothing else, a rather clean killer--one bite, fast shake, neck broken, and Bob's yer uncle!

10. my terriers

3. Sophie does the same thing

but then she bats them under the refrigerator (no picture).

4. Quinn does that, except he bats them into the utility closet

5. What a cute cat.

6. You win!

I thought I was the only crazy person crawling around on my belly with a yardstick trying to get the mousies out for Lucy. My house is littered with little pink ears & slimed mousie bodies.

7. The tails are made of leather on those mice

Seems your kitty has a thing for leather.

What I want to know is how come she doesn't sit there staring under the stove and meowing until you retrieve the mice. That's what mine do when they knock a favorite toy under there. I usually can only ignore it for about 10 minutes before I get the swisher and fish out the damn toy.

9. She does!

She lets me know about it too then I grab a yardstick and scoop them out only to start all over. She's got me played. I bought all those mice yesterday!
She also swallows the tails, that can't be too good for her.

12. LOL!

They play us like a violin. Cat's rule their humans, period.

I just took inventory of my cat's toy mice like the ones in your picture. All their tails are missing, too!

edit for typo

11. I thought I was the only one with tailless mice

I bought my cat a toy made up of thin leather strips since she liked to eat toy mouse tails, bat the mouse away and grab another. She totally ignored the tail toy. It must be the combination of mouse and tail?

Nice photo essay.

13. LOL. very funny.

I've sent this thread to my mom, her cat does the same thing, except he alternately drowns the tailess victims in his water dish.

14. What stops you from taking the mice out from under the stove?

15. Cute kitty!

Evie likes guitar picks and twistie ties and stashes them under area rugs for later use. Quark has a favorite (tailless) mousie he washes in the kitty water fountain on occasion.

The space under the living room couch is the official toy graveyard in these parts. :D

16. That bottom photo cracks me up

I am missing my girls. Princess, Maria and K.B. ( Kitty Bitch) are at the spay/neuter clinic. Princess was up on the roof this morning, and Maria took off into the woods when she didn't get fed. They seem to know when they are going to the vet.

I still can't get over all those tailless mice. Pixel is a very funny kitty with a gorgeous coat.

[Maine-ah]

17. I wish my kitty could have toys

The dogs get them, swallow them or they'll fight over them. So, no toys for anyone. They can't play nice together.

18. Thomas has a thing for rabbit's feet, like the "good luck"keychain

kind. He would hockey puck them under the refrigerator and the washer/dryer, and when ran out, then he would pace back and forth in front of the offending appliance, yowling the Siamese Death Wail until we raked them out. Funniest part: One of us would angle the dryer back so the front would rise about 3 inches off the ground, just so we could see all the toys, and Thomas would go nuts trying to dive under there and get them himself. It took three of us to get the toys out: one to life, one to rake and one to fight off the cat!

My young cats are more mundane: toilet paper, tear strips, milk rings and anything that remotely resembles a snake

19. My cat Gunder used to LOVE hiding his mice.

I found mice hidden everywhere around the house, even after Gunder had to leave us.

[RumpusCat]

20. I had a cat with a similar fetish

She would 'kill' the little mousies (just like the ones in your picture) and then put them all into the water bowl! And stare at them. I guess to make sure they quit breathing.

Lol. The best part was when she would dump them in the dog's bowl and the dog, poor dim-witted creature she was, would sit and stare sadly at the waterbowl because she thought the mice prevented her from drinking out of it.

21. she sure is a beauty

she can chew up all the mouse tails she wants :D

[xultar]

22. LOL, ahh the mice with the leather tails makes them KRAZY
