I have a strange cat ....
|
Can't Post
|
|
We have a 7/8 month old cat, who is affectionately named Gimli. He's big and ginger, and very lovely! He's an outdoor cat, but he does love spending time indoors. He'll follow me wherever I go, so he doesn't really explore very far.
For the last couple of weeks, eggs have been appearing on the patio. The first two were broken, so I assumed there was a nest in the guttering, and perhaps they had fallen out. The next egg was whole, just lieing on the patio floor.
The other day the cat came running in with bloody paws and half a shell in his mouth. I just thought it was another one that had fallen from somewhere.
Yesterday, I found him stuck at the very top of a tree just outside out garden. After a little coaxing with food, he came down. But ... today ... I see him in the tree again. This time, he comes running straight down back in the house ... with a bird egg in his mouth!
He's climbing the tree, stealing the eggs, and then bringing them back home!
Does anyone else have a strange pet, with strange habits? I've never known a cat to bring home eggs!

Should you change his name to Gollum?

I'll build him a tree house, so he can feast on as many pigeon eggs as he likes ;-)
