Woke up at 2 am from a loud bang in the kitchen and I thought someone was breaking in. I turn on all the lights just to find out my cat knocked over a chair and had a mouse in her mouth.
I almost thought it was one of her chew toys because they look like mice and all I could see was the tail dangling from her mouth. But I could tell she was acting different. She drops the mouse and I see it's leg twitch and it makes a sad squealing noise and flops on its back under the table. My cat goes nuts trying to get to it but its already fucked and laying on its back. I take a broom and dust pan to pick it up and throw it out the back door.
When I wake up in the morning I see it still lying dead out there so I throw it deeper in the woods. I dont know how she killed it. I didnt see any blood or anything. Shes never bitten me too hard but she does rip apart her cat toys.
Im guessing it came from the basement as Ive found a dead one there a couple of times. I live in the forest so its expected but Ive never had one in the actual house. I wonder how shes reacting to her first kill :/ she hasnt changed her personality too much but the excitement is clearly in her eyes D:
Cats are predators dude no matter how they act around you they can easily kill a mouse without thinking. It doesn't matter if you have never seen the cat claw or bite anyone.
