Today he earned some extra treats - he rang his doorbell (that's
another story) and sat proudly as the door was opened and he displayed
the dead rat he'd brought home. A clean kill - he kills rats and moles
with a single bite wound across the back of the neck but carefully
carries the occasional mouse or shrew back for us to chase around the
house and they rarely have a wound!

Ours - a beaut of a bengal - was neutered around 8 months old. He is a
big boy - and heaven knows how big he would have got if we hadn't
removed his bits. (In fact, the bit where his bits were seems bigger
than most cat's bit bags). He terrifies our other timid little tabby
but is ok with the local neighbour catsand positively loves humans.
Anything else feline he doesn't tolerate.

His favourite treat atm is rabbits - well, large-ish young bunnies,
really. He usually brings them back unharmed in order to provide us
with the entertainment and exercise of spending ages chasing round the
rooms to catch and release. (Followed by the long walk across the field
to a briar patch

Sometimes, however, they get seriously discombobulated. Actually, its
usually the head that gets discom-ulated, rather than the bob. But they
are definitely confused following his attentions. Occasionally a leg
gets separated too. Not too lucky for bunny.

Even though he's neutered, he's out most nights from spring - and comes
in extremely keen to tell us all about it (read 'to wake us up')
sometime between 5 and 7 am.

That said, all he has brought back (that we see) are rabbits and rats -
so it could be worse.
