  • How do you know he’s not taking them out of the house? Might be doing you a solid, and you’re slagging him off online?

  • Fair point, but I don’t live in a zoo. In the time we’ve had him he’s caught and brought home (or caught in the house)

    Mice - loads of them
    Rats - see above
    Birds - only 2 made it back outside
    A frog - they scream and it scared the shit out of me
    A Magpie chick / fledgling - that one was brutal
    A squirrel - that was quite funny as the stupid dog was walking around with it in his mouth wondering what the hell was going on.

    I live in Sidcup, it’s hardly the Amazon but we seem to have a thriving animal population to keep the cat happy.

    He is our 3rd Bengal but his hunting instinct is through the roof vs the other two we’ve had.

    We live in an old Victorian with air bricks and gaps / holes everywhere, I let the cat in the basement and loft on purpose to make sure his smell is everywhere. Touch wood the only issues we’ve had are self inflicted (he’s let a live one run off)

    Lol’d. I’d continue joking but can’t be sure how offended you are, so I’ll leave it. Good he’s hunting mostly pests, bad he’s a bit of a menace to birds etc.

    Apparently chickens well and truly hate mice. Shame they make such a mess otherwise they’d make handy pest controllers.
