Some cats bring home dead mice as trophies for their owners, to show what good hunters they are. My cat brings home live mice sometimes, as toys for himself.LancsLad said:Didn't your cat make it into the papers as scoring above the Ontario average on the Grade 3 std. tests???????.
A couple of times, they have excaped from him, and gotten loose in my apartment. He catches them in the living room, by using a mirror against the wall. He understands perspective to the point that, if the mouse appears farther into the mirror, the mouse is actually farther from the mirror. Some third graders haven't figured that one out yet.
He's learned his lesson about escaping mice, so now, he makes sure to break one of the mouse's legs before playing with it, so it can't escape.
One mouse in particular must have really pissed him off, because instead of just killing it when he recaught it, he flayed and ate it in the kitchen, probably while it was still alive, then puked it up about an hour later. This tells me that he was actually learning a lot from watching Oz, and it wasn't just moving images on the TV screen that were catching his attention.
He has a very beneficial genetic mutation for a house cat. He has a scrotum, but his testicles are internal and undescended, but fully functional, as we have confirmation that he has fathered at least one litter. He was never neutered because there was nothing showing, and it was assumed by his original owner that he had been born without testicles
He doesn't like snow on his paws or rear end, so if there's snow on the porch, he'll walk along the window sill, use a bench as a springboard, and jump 7½ feet, while rising four feet, just to keep his bum dry. He's really large, and all muscle. The human equivelent of his physique would be Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic, who recently won the NBA slam dunk championship:
