yesterday..battle royale in my living room. cat and rat.

[boom]

my cat brought me a rat last night..she came running by in my peripheral. i just "felt" something was wrong with her gait. i looked..and had to rub my eyes. she had a live rat in her jaws. i was like.."oh..no.dont let it g....." she let go.

the rat hit the ground and went into warp mode. right at me..i was like a deer caught in the headlights (no, i'm not proud but i was in pajama pants and bare feet)..i was yelling to my wife in the bedroom.."dont come out here". my cat was in hot pursuit. then the rat turned around and went on the offense. they got into a fight..the rat was screaming..cat was meowing..i was trying to find a good place to stand, that wasnt on any furniture.. they took the fight under the dinner table. rat was running and cat would try to pick it up..and bat it around. the rat would turn back and make this horrendous noise..finally the cat pounced and bit down and all was silent.

i need a cat-goPRO camera mount. it was insane. then a 20 minute game of "rat keep-away"..i was clearly "it". cat was running and ducking..clearly having a good time keeping me away from the rat. crap..cats.. you gotta love em..or hate em.

i took the rat and flung it into the empty lot next door. it was a huge female. cat was not happy with me. wife came out, clueless. just the way i like it.

extra pour of scotch for me.

Cat earning its keep ! I had a big tom when I was a kid that would kill anything and everything and lay it on the doorstep by his bowl. He tore more than one neighborhood dog a new one too. Only cat I really liked . Wish I could have seen that fight !

My cat has caught 2 bats 2 nights in a row. Thinking of putting it a game camera to catch the action. Not sure how she's catching them. I will say she's a great mouser though..

Bats fly!!! I'd freak.

Boom that's pretty funny!! Many years ago I had a black cat I called Black Bart. He was a good one but not such a good mouser. One winter the mice were really bad and it was cold. Somehow they were getting into the house. I was sitting watching a show one evening laying on the couch with Bart on my chest. I heard scratch scratch in the living room where I was laying. Looked over and there were three mice having a meeting in the middle of the floor. Big tough Bart sat on my chest just looking at them! He never moved! Pretty funny.
