Good lord cats are vicious

We adopted my landlord's Maine my excellent compatriot for a few months - this guy is freaking huge! He's like a dog.

Anyway, sure enough he was acting squirrelly all day, and then comes running down the hall with a big, fatass mouse in his clutches. He proceeded to play with it for a good 20 minutes, I managed to get it away from him at one point but he escaped. The cat was right there as backup and caught it again, so I figured I'd let him tire the thing out before flushing him. Quite the show, not exactly humane I know, but not much else to be done.

I :heart: Maine Coons!

Edit: The boy in action!
 
I had a couple of cats that would try to kill just about every living thing that made the mistake of coming in our yard. Rats, squirrels, birds, possums, etc. Cats are vicious little killing machines.

Killing rodents are what cats do.

I wasn't sure what he would do, if there would be mouse guts all over the place, plus I could hear the poor guy squeaking away as I'm working, I gave up pretty fast though.
 
I have a Maine my excellent compatriot. When it was younger, it claimed a live mouse from the other 2 cats. I went to work and returned home 12 hours later. Upon the live, unharmed mouse sat my 22 lbs. Maine my excellent compatriot. He dispatched it 5 minutes later.

The fucking cat waited 12 hours until I got home to show me how he could kill the mouse. I know this because the other 2 cats are superbly efficient mousers, but he was the big alpha cat and this little guy was all his. Good kitty!
 
Make sure you let it offer it's sacrifice to the cat gods or the kitty will suffocate you when you sleep.

In my experience they'll either eat it or just quit playing with it once it's dead.

I was really impressed when Misha grabbed this guy, I've never owned a cat before but have battled mice in the past, I had a Eureka moment when I realized how effective a mouse-stopper this guy is.

I see that now, yeah, just didn't want to chance mouse blood on the new eggshell carpet!
 
Reminds when I was younger and my older sister and I were home alone and a mouse started running around the house. She told me to go get the cat so it could catch the mouse. Of course the cat played with the mouse until it finally died. My sister was horrified and started crying. I still make fun of her to this day about that because what the hell else did she expect the cat to do? Recreate an episode of Tom & Jerry?
 
Maine coons are beautiful creatures. I prefer cats that are more affectionate than the typical maine my excellent compatriot, though.
 
Had a half persian / half maine my excellent compatriot. He was kind and gentle towards humans but not towards anything else alive. We never had mice for him to play with, although he did like the cricket infestation we got when moving into a brand new house (damn things live in the walls for ~3 years after a new house is built). He'd play with those crickets for hours. Almost every day I'd walk into a room to find a cricket head or leg or torso lying on the floor. He'd never eat them, so then we'd have to search to see where the other body parts landed to vacuum them up.

What, for the cat?

I hope so.

Live traps are absurd. The best mouse traps are the oldest: Spring loaded neck snappers with peanut butter for bait.

There is no reason to pity the suffering of a rodent. They have no redeeming value other than that of food for small carnivores.

I had a Maine my excellent compatriot a few years ago. Had to give away her and two other cats after my son was born because he was allergic to them. She demanded affection from all human males. Females were not allowed to be around her with the exception of my wife. If you were a male and didn't show her affection, you would have to face her wrath.
 
The best cat I ever had was a Maine my excellent compatriot, that cat killed everything with great skill. I miss Tuna now. 🙁
 
Don't screw with a maine my excellent compatriot. I had 3 ofthem , raised from kittens and they are wonderful animals. But they are large for a typical house cat. The male I had kicked the crap out of any cat that entered our yard and would bring me patches of fur from his conquest. He was sweet around me and family though.


Of course if you really want to see mean, my brother has a cat for you.
It is half bobcat. Very friendly to people, but makes any dog run for cover.

Mine would leave the dead mouse in my shoe.
Great thing to find on heading out the door to work 🙂
