WTF did my cat do to that bird?! (pictures)

[Sonia_TX]

I'm sitting in the front room and I see the outside cat (he showed up exactly a year ago and hasn't left since...probably because I feed him! hah) with something in his mouth. I go outside and as I'm going toward him he starts walking toward me and I noticed he has a pretty big bird in his mouth. Well the bird is ALIVE and starts flapping it's little birdy wings and the cat drops him. As Sinatra (the cat) is trying to get the bird again it ends up flying off but not before leaving some of it's food and feathers behind.

So...I don't know if the cat put a pretty big hole in this bird and all of it's food came out or what happened. It's just odd. There isn't any blood but where did the sunflower seeds and corn come from? Did the bird puke that up? lol I had to take pictures of course! I guess I ruined Sinatras bird dinner...oops! If you guys see a bird with a big hole in it then it belongs to my cat. lol

Sunflower seeds, corn and feathers!

Even though I ruined his dinner he was still as loveable as can be and still had a little taste of the bird in his mouth.

Cats fucking rule. Your cat probably wanted to show you the bird more than actually eat it.

[Jekka]

:lmao Awesome.

My cat once carried a baby bird around in his mouth for a whole afternoon before finally spitting it out and leaving it, but I don't think I've ever seen him just put a hole in something :lol

[ChumpDumper]

You probably want to put the antifreeze somewhere the cat can't get it.

[Sonia_TX]

Well, I think he eats the birds. There is a pile of feathers in our (well what used to be) flower bed. Those birds have no chance against him! muahaha

Your cat is a nice cat then Jekka. Sinny just wants to eat. lol

[Sonia_TX]

That's been there forever. I don't even know if there is anything in it.

[2Blonde]

Yeah, I was so proud last week when my dog came out the bushes with an armadillo in her mouth. She crunched down on it like it was a taco. Armadillo Supreme.:lol She totally rocks!! But I was too stunned to take any pics. I just got the shovel and and picked it up and made my daughter toss it into the creek.

[violentkitten]

i'd hit it.

[Sonia_TX]

Poor Armadillo! lol

[ChumpDumper]

That's been there forever. I don't even know if there is anything in it.Apparently, pets like the sweet taste.

They probably aren't crazy about the dying afterwards.

Homocatual.

Yeah, but the same cat eats cicadas - he loves them, and it's seriously disgusting because you hear the cicada noise and then a super-loud CRUNCH ... and you know exactly what happened. Pretty nasty.

[Old School Chic]

Those are cute pics of your cat Sonia.

I have 2 of my own and the oldest one (Rolo) loves to eat birds even though his bowl of food is full. :madrun


Ewww :( @ 2Blonde's armadillo story

[jman3000]

Do y'all have a bird feeder in the vicinity? Maybe during the tussle the cat or the bird hit it over a bit?

[Holt's Cat]

Once you go cat, you never go back. ;)

Ewww :( @ 2Blonde's armadillo storyThe armadillo totally deserved it. He had been digging up my flower beds for the last 2 months. The little pecker deserved a hideous death.

[Old School Chic]

:lol

[Sonia_TX]

Jekka that is gross. Eww. Just the thought of eating crunchy bugs... it gives me the heebeegeebees (sp).

Jman, there is a bird feeder in the back yard with just bird seed. There isn't anything in the front yard where he came from.

[Holt's Cat]

I like to fertilize the flower beds when I get the chance.

Fuck bugs and 'dillos, I love pussy.

[jman3000]

My cat is too obese to catch any birds ... she just kinda looks at em mean.

[ShoogarBear]

Is he called Sinatra because of the blue eyes?

Silly Shoog :lol

[ChumpDumper]

The cat here has been bringing in snakes.

[Sonia_TX]

mhm. lol That was the first name I thought of when I saw him.

[Sonia_TX]

I would flip out of that cat brought those in.

[missmyzte]

I was on the phone with my friend when her cat brought her a (live) mouse and dropped it at her feet. Her scream could be heard for miles, and I stayed on the phone with her (laughing my ass off) while she ran around trying to get the mouse out of her house. That's the best laugh I ever had.

My cat is indoors only, no gifts and no live meals.

[Sonia_TX]

OSC: http://www.dvcreators.net/discuss/images/smilies/Raspberry.gif

What does that mean? lol

[MannyIsGod]

My cat has killed a rabbit, snakes and even mockingbird (in self defense - those fuckers are mean). Unfortunetly, my cat lives at my mothers and has gone missing recently. It is pretty sad :(

I miss Taylor :(

[ShoogarBear]

What does that mean? lolShe called me silly when I asked if the cat got his name because of the eyes.

[Sonia_TX]

oh...haha. I didn't realize that OSC = OldSchoolChic!

[Taco]

i'd hit it.


:lol

[Winnipeg_Spur]

I unfortunately (fortunately?) don't have any pictures, but I caught my cat with something that I thought was a bird in his mouth the other day. Turns out when he dropped it, it was actually a squirrel's head... kinda disturbing, actually.

We never found the body, but we did find the tail in the yard...

[Marklar MM]

I think your cat fucked that bird up.

[scott]

To quote Triumph...

Cats are Cunts

[Phenomanul]

I read a report once that cicadas are like 'chicken nuggets' to dogs and cats... but that too many of these appetizer size treats could cause botulism... go figure.

[kingsfan]

All my cat does is terrorize other cats. She doesn't eat them but she chases squirrels.

[sabar]

Had a low-lying nest with baby birds here until one day a cat found it. There was nothing left except feathers and severed feet, pretty disturbing. My cat stays inside and chases the occassional roach or moth but always fails.

[CosmicCowboy]

Sonya...the answer to you question is that yes, the seeds came out of the dove...most birds don't crack the grain with their beaks...they swallow it and it goes into a little bag in the front of their neck temporarily...on a dove it's about the size of a pecan when it is full...on a bigger bird like a turkey it's about the size of a tennis ball...the common name for this little bag is the "craw"...they also eat small rocks and use enzymes and muscle squeezing action on this bag to crack the grain for digestion before they swallow it...your cat must have had the dove by the throat on the craw...when the dove struggled the craw ripped allowing it to get away...

they used to sell fried gizzards at dairy queen, not sure if they still do.

You're such the bird expert. Another explanation I got was that birds tuck food away into their feathers to take back to the nest so that might have happened too.

whoever told you that is probably still laughing that you believed it...

[pache100]

Cats fucking rule. Your cat probably wanted to show you the bird more than actually eat it.

Yes, they're real big on "trophies", whether it's birds, snakes, or huge bugs. My cat once brought a mouse and put it on the bed with me...that'll get you up in a hurry!

Your cat is gorgeous, Sonia, a real beauty (love that "cate-ate-the-canary shot with the feather in his mouth)! He looks a lot like my Mom's Rosie (named after Malik), but her stripes are more pronounced; we call her "Laverne" about half the time because it looks like she has on zebra pants. :lol


Well, I think he eats the birds. There is a pile of feathers in our (well what used to be) flower bed. Those birds have no chance against him! muahaha

The cat I had that lived outdoors, Gus, always ate anything he caught, but it was because he'd always been outside and was used to foraging for himself. Dudley, the indoor guy, has never eaten anything he's caught, he just plays with it, and when he gets tired of it, he brings it to me...but, he's never been hungry. When Gus ruled the ranch where I live (actually a 1/2 acre lot), I would come home two or three times a month and find a big pile of mocking bird feathers in my yard (usually near the birdbath). I don't blame him, though, and I never scolded him for it. Those things (and grackles, too) were merciless with him. They'd dive bomb him all the time, and he kept little bumps and scabs on his head and back where they pecked him. Hell, they would even come after ME when I would go try to help him get across the yard. Stupid birds. I'd tell them, "he's gonna get you!", and eventually, he would.

[pache100]

Our dog, Cutter, will eat cicadas. But, he eats hackberries, too. :lol

What's wrong with that? That person didn't say it jokingly. And besides, when the bird flapped it's wings to get away the second time that is when the stuff went flying out. If it was inside his mouth/neck wouldn't it have been wet?

[Sonia_TX]

Pache, this is the same cat that I saw run away from a fly that was buzzing around him. He's afraid of a little fly but not afraid of a bird. I always thought he was a wuss but I guess not. I notice that he always has some kind of bump or scab on him so the birds probably peck at him too. Maybe he was getting his revenge...

[CosmicCowboy]

No, it wouldn't have been wet...the grain goes straight from their beak to that little sack where it is held till it goes to the next step of the digestive process...that little sack expands/contracts depending on how full it is...your cat was obviously holding it by that sack (under the feathers)when it flopped and tore it..

[Sonia_TX]

Well I don't know squat about birds! lol I was just wondering where all that stuff came from.

[SpursWoman]

I would flip out of that cat brought those in.


That's why I have mine. Between the 6 of them ... there isn't a critter that stands a chance in my back yard. :lol

They don't scare off the opossums, skunks and raccoon's, though, when they come every night to eat all of their damn food.

:lmao

in this case, personal inspection of hundreds of them over the years...

Dove Poppers

~ boneless dove breasts, amount depends upon hungry you are
~ your favorite seasonings
~ bacon slices, cut in half, one per breast
~ fresh jalapeno peppers, cut into slices
~ sliced cheddar cheese
~ toothpicks


Season the breasts with your favorite seasonings.

Grill over medium heat to desired doneness

In the meantime, cook the bacon until done but NOT crispy. Drain on paper towels

When the breasts are done, place a small slice of cheese and a jalapeno slice on each and wrap with a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.

Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray, put them back in the grill till the cheese melts.

very delicious recipe, my family has been making it for years, but sans cheese and we cook the breast on the grill with the bacon wrapped around it and the jalepeno inside. will have to try that. my dad actually served them at his wedding to my stepmom...
