I would flip out of that cat brought those in.
mhm. lol That was the first name I thought of when I saw him.

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.
What does that mean? lol
My cat has killed a rabbit, snakes and even mockingbird (in self defense - those ers are mean). Unfortunetly, my cat lives at my mothers and has gone missing recently. It is pretty sad
I miss Taylor
She called me silly when I asked if the cat got his name because of the eyes.
oh...haha. I didn't realize that OSC = OldSchoolChic!
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...
I think your cat ed that bird up.

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

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

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