I just had a fun 5 minutes which has put me off breakfast

I went to take out the rubbish since it's like bin day and thought maybe it would be a good option to put the bin out at 10am...

When I went to do that I realised there had been a visitor to the front yard - I'm not sure if there's currently any cats in the area but there's definitely a few dogs, so seeing a dead bird wasn't really the way I wanted to start my day; though being bin day it did make for easier disposal

And after spotting that I then spotted the visit from a doggie neighbour - though it was across a few sites & still relatively warm, so that also went into the bin. Tempted to go turn the hose on to get rid of the rest

Just hoping the rubbish is collected sooner than later since it's meant to be 30 today

Not that one ever wants to deal with dead birds, but it was a bit easier when I at least had a cat but when one no longer has a pet or a cat and they still get dead birds in their yard it's kinda frustrating. Late last year actually had 2 in 2/3 days, including one floating in the pool when we had temporary fencing up & I could only just squeeze half my forearm through the gap to try & scoop it up. The other bird looked like it had had it's neck broken, but I don't know when or how as I never heard a fight so wasn't sure it was between 2 birds

I went to the shops yesterday. Outside the bottle O there was a bird.

Legit flattened. 100%

Ew.
 
A few years back I was living with a shelter cat who refused to be contained.
One morning as I was leaving for work, I noticed a deceased possum, Twice the size of Rob (my cat) stiff as a board and conveniently leaning against the general waste wheelie bin.
 
I'm going with the following being the most embarrassing question/statement at this Aus Open - like seriously no need for it, especially if you have an understanding of other cultures

my cat used to bring home a lot of random items, such as golf balls & potatoes she had dug up (still not sure how she could really carry either in her mouth)

But the strangest repeated item was mice that she would bring in & then put in her food bowl - the catch is that the mouse would still be alive. She was looking for a little friend to play with, but they wanted nothing to do with her & would runaway which she couldn't understand

And then the odd time we did have a mouse in the house she was ****ing useless at actually catching them

Apologies for the cat story. I was looking for a segue-way to join the conversation but I have the social skills of a hairless rabbit with huccups.

No need to apologise, always good to read the stories others wish to share

She sounds really sweet. I have two right now, neither bring anything home.
One is a little 'special' though. He can get extremely excited by shadows on the walls, and come flying from nowhere to attack them. Not great when the shadow is made by a guest walking through a room. He also has a very soothing ear piercing voice which he uses roughly once every 5 minutes to let us know hes still going. Its really really great.

Thats so ****ing cute.

My cat Sandy did that- but for the complete opposite reason. She didnt kill them bc seh tortured them. She would have them in her mouth, head first.. gently. Not biting down on them. Then place them gently down. Poor mouse would sit there for a few minutes terrified. Then attempt to run, she'd pounce. Rinse repeat rinse repeat.


Im pretty sure she was Hitlers cat in a previous lifetime
