My (parents) cat is a vicious killing machine.

Just like every year, she has been systematically slaughtering the family of baby bunnies around our house. Some must escape her wrath, since there's a new litter every year. Baby bunnies are so cute...but she's an excellent hunter, and rabbits are so stupid.

I like cats, but the one thing that has always bugged me about them is how they torture their prey. The bunny she caught last night my mom got away from her, but that was the end of it. It was still alive, but she'd broken its back and torn one of its eyes out. Rather than killing it outright, she chose to sit around and stare at it for awhile.

I was going to go stomp on it to put it out of its misery, but the fiance objects to my mercy killings and I frankly didn't know if I had it in my to stomp a baby bunny to death last night anyway.

Thats nature for you I guess.

Being on the low end of the carnivorous food chain sucks I guess. Such is life/nature....

Bunnies still do the deed and make more bunnies.

Bunny = oversexed rat with long ears

I always thought it was funny. My cat would bring "gifts" for my mom. It was great!

Why did your mom take the rabbit away from the cat, like its gonna make it any better for the freakin rabbit. Cats are cats I say. Think about it this way, if your cat didn't take care of the rabbits you seriously would have eleventy million of them running around. :thumbsup: to the cat. and PICS dammit

Yeah, they have about 10,000 offspring. Their plan appears to be to try and make my cat so fat from all the rabbit meat she eats that she is unable to hunt them.

I guess she saved one from the cat the other day, the cat hadn't mangled it beyond a chance of survival and it ran off. But yeah, can't blame a cat for being a cat.

As it was, is, and ever shall be.

But don't let the bunnies suffer. :(

Rabbits are fricking pests! Cats hunt and eat pests. Don't interfere w/ nature, you over grown pests lovers.

BTW, are you gonna grow those rabbits fat and juicy then eat them?

Rabbits are rodents. Without a natural check in place, they will overpopulate quickly and destroy a lot of stuff.

My girlfriends cat is getting to be like this. He's only 2 or 3, and is just now starting to kill more frequently. He's nabbed a bird each of the last 4 days, and every day, the bird gets bigger.

I have no idea. She just doesn't want to hurt the animal I guess. But when they're in really bad shape, they're just going to suffer and then die anyway so it makes no sense.

The cat would finish the prey off faster if it wasn't domesticated. If your cat keeps finding them year after year, there's obviously a small over population problem in your area.

Good kittay!

This cat is about 6-7 years old now. A few months ago she charged a full grown turkey and attempted to leap on it. She's fearless.
