Rats - A thread about Cats

Can’t beat a good hunter. Our cat left a lovely sized black coloured rat on the back doorstep a few weeks ago with the gullet eaten out of it. I was chuffed but the Mrs was horrified. I asked her would she prefer to see a live one

Beautiful cat @TreatyStones , we had one similar years ago. She would leave the mouse or rat at the back door.

Savage.

She’d show up at the door with a field mouse/shrew a few times a week. That’s the first time she’s brought back a rat. She’d only be about 7 months old.

I wonder are the female cats better hunters. We have a female that has lived here for 8 years and is still spry and playful and goes out for a hunt every night. Maybe it’s because she is neutered that she never matured.

A male cat strayed in around 2 years ago and is beyond fucking useless.

Serious cat ye have there. She will the cull the rat cunts. I’d have great time for time for cats. They are great. I wouldnt bring one inside to be honest but if you have a garage or shed, put here in there.

They are serious operators.

Where did you get her? I’d take her tomorrow.

You can forget about male cats beyond useless lazy cunts it’s only in the female genes to hunt and kill

She looks like a slip of a thing obviously a born killing machine though

Neutered Tom cats are as useful as a chocolate dildo. Queens are great mousers. By christ we had a tom cat fond of the food the size of him. Only caught 2 mice (one he was full of steroids due to the Brain tumour that got him) and a little bird during the big freeze in 2’9/2’10. That was his grand total in 11 years in the world

Yeah but think of all the pussy he got.

The mother has had a few litters but I think the latest batch are all gone. If she has another lot I’ll let you know.

Our man used to kill a fair share. Shrews, mice, the occasional rat, birds (the bollix), and a young rabbit at least once the maniac. He’s 11 now but I still see the divilment in the eyes when he’s out ā€œtalkingā€ to the birds.

Tom Cats are generally useless alright for killing but if you can find one that’s good at it they’d leave the female in the hapenny place, lethal bastards. Finding one like that not easy though

I think I’m a neutered tomcat.

Is this woman allergic to cats?

Out farm,no sheds, feeding cattle a few nuts out in the open. Soon as cattle are finished the rats emerge from a stone wall and finish off the crumbs. No waste here*

*no rat grants.

She mightn’t be worth a shite. Good minors don’t always make good seniors.
You’d want to keep her off the drink for a start.

I think you could be right. She’s caught fuck all since.
