I'm too a dog person, until I married my wife and her cat. Cats are fascinating animals , somewhat domesticated but haven't lost any of their natural predatory instincts.

Cats are fascinating animals , somewhat domesticated but haven't lost any of their natural predatory instincts. The neighbours cats come on the property everday mousing in the fields. I just don't want them by the house stalking and killing all the beautiful birds that frequent the area during the different seasons such as the Cardinals, Blue Jays and Orioles.

The neighbours cats come on the property everday mousing in the fields. Back when I was dating my wife, we were sitting at her mom's house balcony one day when suddenly we heard a commotion going on not far from where we were. Not long after that, the house cat strolled by carrying a dead rat almost as big as the cat itself and lay it right next to us. My wife was taken aback but then told me that I should be flattered because that means the cat wanted to impress me. I was in shock and the only thing on my mind was; Man, that's badass!!

Cats can be pretty bold animals out in nature. Maybe the cat bringing the rat to you was a sign to your wife that you were the one for her .

Maybe the cat bringing the rat to you was a sign to your wife that you were the one for her . OR... Maybe the cat was saying: "Piss off my two legged and you'll have me to deal with! I'll accept you, but I have my EYE on you, just the same. See them egg shells over there? That's where you better be walkin.!"

I think the cat was inviting you over for dinner, Jamie!

I have always been a dog person. Currently have a German Short Haired Pointer that is far and away the smartest dog I have ever been around. Never liked cats until my daughter's got one from a litter down the street. I finally grudgingly admitted that I like the cat too.....it is just different. She is a cold blooded killer - usually just eats the heads. One day last summer we had a bird, squirrel, frog, lizard and a chipmunk carcass all in her favorite drop zone - all headless. She also gets along famously with the dogs. On a rainy day, she scales the fence to the dog pen and huddles up with the dogs in their house.
