Kitten Kaboodle

I actually found my cat while working backstage at the Miss Texas Pageant 2 years ago.

Cue the inappropriate jokes ... (or am I the only one with a filthy mind?)

In my experience, cats increase in number to fill any cat-shaped hole in your household. It's like there's an international cat agency that sends them round. My wife and I will be moving to a place that has twice as much space as where we live now, plus a garden. I'm already thinking of names for whatever cats show up.

The only way to get a cat to show up when you call it's name.

My cat comes 75% of the time when you call him.
 

My cat has a sixth sense about when somone is in the kitchen. It never fails, if there is somone in there getting a bite to eat, she shows up in a matter of seconds. :confused:

A cat killed some birds that were nesting in a little dish my mom had put out at my house. Cats are all Chaotic Evil.
A few years ago, I spent the night at my grandparents house on the eve of Easter. I went out in the morning to get the paper and my cat (I left her there with them when I moved out ie they wouldn't part with her) had killed a rabbit and left it on the front step. I almost fell over laughing. I can only imagine if I had been a kid and found that, I am sure I would have cried that she had killed the Easter bunny.
 

Have three cats myself. The oldest one is blind and has a real attitude problem. The other two, well one is too dignified but the young one I've taught to fetch. I never thought that was possible before.

Am I the only one who's cats have left dead rattlesnakes by their front door?

Well, it could have been a really vicious squirrel. Probably a cat though.

In my experience though, usually the bird is either very unlucky, or stupid if it gets killed by a cat, since cats can't really fly. Cats usually get mice, squirrels, snakes, rabbits, etc.

I have seen cats get birds a couple of times. One time, the bird basically just fly right up to him. Very weird, like the bird was committing suicide.

The other time, this bird was harassing my barn cats. Birds like to do that for some reason, swoop down, but out of the reach of the cat. Well, one of the cats, Tubby, watched the bird a few times, then the next time it swooped down, in a blink she ran, jumped on the ladder that goes up into the barn loft, and then jumped off of that and grabbed the bird in mid air. Pretty impressive. And funny. I was tempted to let her keep it, but I rescued it.

Still, I think you are right. Cats are the only animals that actually seem to enjoy killing other animals. And hunting when they aren't hungry.

Dogs often kill, but generally they are either being protective of their turf, or do it accidently, like my dogs when they catch rabbits (they think they should retrieve them for me).
