so bad it's almost good. sorta.
This is the reason for Catch's name. So far this week he has knocked off one mouse and five rats.
poor mouse! That is so sad and horrible! I mean the cat is very cute of course and I know mice and rats can be annoying and all that but... how can you look at a living being (and such a cute living being) lying there dead and not be sad??
Ted, Catch is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Those green eyes enhaced by a sort of natural black kajal....I'm envious!!!I laughed so hard at the spectacled cat posted by Enrique
It seems not all domestic cats kill. This link is interesting, if somewhat macabre:https://theoatmeal.com/comics/cats_actually_killMy father used to have many cats and none of them killed anything. Of course being so fat and well-fed that they were incapable of rapid movement might have had something to do with it.
If their mother didn't teach them they won't.
Not quite so. My purebreds who had spent their whole life indoors could catch a prey by instinct (and they did) when they were suddenly given freedom in our summer house. They learn the actions when playing with their siblings and the instinct is already there (unless bred away). They just need the opportunity.

She's sooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!
sorry.. i just realized its a sheep. i withdraw my question.
It's a toy poodle?
Good question... I have actually had both a pet rat and mice as a kid and I find them very cute too. But I also spent a large proportion of my childhood on the countryside where death of animals was an everyday thing. I have also had to see many of my pets go, so I don't really get anxious by seeing a dead animal. I only get anxious when I see a living animal suffer. Not that the mouse didn't, but a cat killing a mouse is simply the way of the nature...
hehe
Well I know that this is how this world works (not just animal world, human just the same - a lot of the time even worse) but I don't like it at all!!! why would I need to like it just cause "that's the way it is"?! I don't like! I hate it! I hate that living beings are hurting eachother!!! Don't care if that's the way it is and if that's the way it always has been and if I can't do anything about it, I don't care why or how it is this way or who or what created it... I do not like it!!!!!!! I hate it!!!! OK?
You have every right to feel this way and I am sorry you need to see/hear so many bad things...
