I was house-sitting for my sister one summer, and as the evening came on I opened the back door to let in some cool air. As soon as I opened the door a bat came zooming in, and flew down into the basement. I ran down the stairs, and one of her cats had already nabbed the damned thing. That night I learned bats can scream. Om nom nom nom.

Cats are definitely not a cowardly and superstitious lot.

That's kind of sad, birds only act that way when they are protecting nests. That bird wasn't being a "bully", it was standing up to something it knew could kill it to protect its young.

[–]ClockCat 1 point2 points ago

You are incorrect, birds don't only act that way when protecting nests. Many birds are very territorial and will go out of their way to harass and attack people and other animals walking in areas they deem theirs.

That looks like a mocking bird. At my old job, there was a tree next to the parking lot where a mocking bird had a nest I think. Every time someone got out of their car, the bird would start swooping down on the person's head. It was pretty funny to watch that day.

This is what I figure happened: GSGReddits misread doctechnical's post and thought he was talking about his girl (possibly from reading too many sex with sister posts we make here on reddit). Then GSGReddits concluded that doctechnical's newfound appreciation for cats has discouraged him from date raping his girl because he thinks her cat will catch him and claw his eyes out.

And it looks like stfuendie is, yes, he's ready to blow out the candles. I wonder if he plans on making a wish? He's leaning in, taking a deep breath and here comes the exhale. He's doing well but quickly running of steam. His lung capacity has clearly been hurt by his decision to pick up smoking earlier this year.

His face is turning red and the neck veins are now visible. He's down to one more candle, can he do it? Does he have the will power....annnnnd no, he sits back and take a breath, one candle still lit. Which as we all know means he has one girlfriend.

Cats are definitely not a cowardly and superstitious lot.

Once a squirrel got inside our house. Chased both cats around the living room for five minutes until we could get it out.

Maybe your cats aren't cowardly, but I saw those cats run from chickadees.

[–]doctechnical 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was upstairs at home watching (through a window) a squirrel jump down from from a tree limb onto the roof of our garage. It didn't see (or at least didn't recognize) the cat on the far end of that roof sunning itself. Eventually the squirrel got close enough that the cat burst into chase mode, and the squirrel did a 180 and headed back to the tree post haste. It was also headed toward the apex of the roof and what it couldn't see (but I could) was the OTHER cat on the other side of the roof, also giving chase.

When the tree rat saw the other cat it made the most prodigious leap I've ever seen from such a beast - about five feet horizontally and eighteen inches vertically, back onto a tree limb. It then skeedaddled up to a branch about five feet higher up the tree where it sat and scolded the two cats. Which were feigning disinterests by grooming themselves.

Little squirrel bricks were shat that day.

I had a cat that would bring me live treats. One night, I was ignoring him meowing at my feet. When I finally looked, he had a live bat stretched out in front of me. He was so proud and excited. Cats are very interesting and entertaining creatures, as long as you aren't on their menu.

[–]tiny_mars_humans 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My cat just started going outside (I was in a 3rd story apartment when he was growing up). One night he brought in one of these treats and dropped it at my feet and started playing with it and left it alone. When it was in his mouth I thought it may be a praying mantis or something that size -- kind of confused me. When he left to go back outside I realized it was a dried up leaf. Great job, Poops!

A friend's cat brought in a rabbit once. It looked dead. It wasn't. It should have been. Oh god it should have been.

It screamed while we tried to corral it. And bled.

Ugh. Even now, whenever I look at a rabbit, I just remember that one. And the screaming. :( That cat got a collar ringed with bells after that.

The worst part was that, in all likelihood, the cat figured it was taking care of us. There we were, poor pathetic humans, somehow capable of making food appear but completely useless when it came to proper hunting techniques. "I left it alive enough so you'd get some training in! Aren't I a good friend?"

[–]ikidd 4 points5 points ago

We had an old male tabby cat that would bring live rabbits back to the house to train the 2 kittens we had how to hunt. He'd keep batting the rabbit back towards them until they got the idea and started to stalk it.

It was pretty cute.

[–]robothax 32 points33 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Fuck. Your. Dog.

My first cat was mauled to death by my father's dogs because he somehow got into the backyard (where the dogs were kept). These are dogs which had seen the cat every day for almost 8 months (he was not yet even a year old, I raised him since he was like three weeks) through the windows and glass sliding door, so they had plenty of fucking time to realize there was a new "member of the family" so to speak. We kept the cat inside because he his front paws were declawed (due to a meddlesome 8 year old brother who could not understand that a cat is not a toy, leading to many warning scratches; I protested this to my parents with statements of the cruel nature of declawing, but to no avail).

The worst part is that I was at my friend's house at a [7] when I got the call from my mom that she found him mutilated in the backyard.

Next blunt is for you, amsterdam. ;_;

All the cats have had to go over 2 fences to get into the yard. None have been outside his kennel area. The cats (feral) like to tease him all day and jump into the yard to make him chase them.

I've rescued 2 cats from his jaws only for them to later come back and get caught when I'm not around. Not much more I can do other than keep him inside and take him out in his own back yard on a leash.

But it's fine for cats to do likewise to little things? Sure, it's horrible what happened to your cat, but if it had gotten older would it be OK for a mauled canary's owner to say 'Fuck. Your. Cat.'? Because despite any belief you have about how sweet your animal is, it will have killed birds by the time it is old.

I am sorry for your loss.

Mine just has a hyper-prey drive turned to 11.4. He's perfectly fine with all animals until they run or fly. He's caught birds flying overhead (within reach). I've even seen chickens fight with him over food.

When he does attack though, it's not really him. There will be a bird in his mouth and he'll be like 'what happened? Please make it go away.' Kinda funny and simultaneously sad.

[–]ANewMachine615 0 points1 point ago

We had one who used to bring us moles, only she'd eat the head first. This is not so bad - pretty normal, all told. The problem was when the dog figured out where she leaves them, and started going right to it and very cleverly hiding the mole-carcass in his cheeks. He'd then carry it inside, drop it on the bed, and sit there licking it for hours. So you'd end up with this giant puddle with a mole (or, and this is somehow worse, a mole-shaped dry spot) in the middle.

Reposting this:

One day when I was about 10 I was standing on my back porch watching my cat wander around the backyard. Chuck had always had hunting skill like no animal, his kill count was undeniably good. One day I'd opened the front door to find the bottom half of a mouse standing up, balanced perfectly on its tail. Chuck suddenly stopped, and seemed extra alert, suddenly a robin swooped about 4 or 5 feet above my backyard. Chuck rocketed into the air, timing his jump perfectly, colliding with the robin and catching it in his jaws. Chuck left half of the robin to decay on the driveway. sigh I'll always miss that cat.

Yeah, for. fucking. sure. I've had to get rid of like 6 bats from my house, and let me tell you, it's fucking terrifying. I've only had like 1 roommate help with it. The rest of the time my roommates and their girlfriends are screaming like little girls while I swat at the mother fuckers. If there was a bird flying around my house, I'd say fuck it. He can hang out whenever. But a bat is like a flying fucking gremlin rat. It's like they fly right for your face and swoop out of the way at the last second. They come fly around the living room and you try to hit it with a broom or throw a box on it, but to no avail. They just swoop upstairs and hang out somewhere (probably my bed) for like 20 minutes then come back down while you're curled up in the fetal position waiting for its return. There is a strange darkness in the room once the bat enters. I feel instantly dirty once I see one in my house. Fuck a bat.

[–]doctechnical 2 points3 points ago

It's like they fly right for your face and swoop out of the way at the last second.

Aerial acrobatics is like that - bat has to make a very tight turn or got SPLAT against the wall, so it loses a crapload of airspeed and height, which appears to the human like an attack. Couldn't be farther from the truth, the bat is a shitload more scared of you than you are of it.

I've chased a fair number of bats out of houses without hurting them, it's essentially a matter of providing a clear flight path to an exit, and "herding" them towards it with a sheet or blanket or something.

Bats eat shitloads of mosquitoes, including the kind that carry diseases. Therefore, I have much love for bats. If I had the property for it I'd put up bat boxes to provide habitat for them.

My cat did this once. I just kind of sat there and stared at him and he looked at me like "Yeah. I did that."

Then he slapped the bat around for a while, lost interest and rubbed his asshole on my pillow.

I had a cat that would get attacked by birds. They'd dive down and try to peck her or something. She'd take out like 3 a day.

A little over a year ago I woke up and heard some scuffling going on in my kitchen and my dog barking defensively. By the time I was able to get out of bed to see what was going on my dog (a min-pin/chihuahua mix) had slain a rat. Many accolades and treats were enjoyed by that little fella that day.

Reminds me of the time I came home with my girlfriend from a job interview that went really well. When we opened the door to the apartment, my girlfriend gasped and dropped everything she had.

A little back story, we owned two budgie birds Azan was a Blue female who we had gotten in Newfoundland a year before and Chip, a green and yellow budgie we had gotten last semester. The two birds were inseparable, they'd sing together, clean each others' feathers and fly together.

They would glide around and land on our shoulders and be cool like birds are. Get them in front of a mirror and they'd be there for hours.

Fast forward a month or so and we adopted Charmander! He's as awesome as any cool tabby chat could be. Purrs ever so softly when you rub his tummy and loves it when you play with his ears.

I guess by accident I had left our room door slightly ajar. We usually lock the birds in our room and the cat in the living room. When we arrived home after that interview, feathers everywhere. Shannon and I were too afraid to look down the hall to see what had happened. I peered around the corner and saw a tiny lump on the ground. We had put the cat in the bathroom before.. anything else could happen. I went over to the tiny lump and saw two pieces; Chip's upper body and his legs not too far away from him.

Shannon and I were shaken up and still looking for Azan but we couldn't find her. We were still afraid to look under the couches and inside the closets. I went back to put Chip into a Beer Box which is ironic because both him and Azan came home in a beer box.

That's when I noticed the feathers on the legs next to Chip's body were not the same colour as him.

Anyways, we buried both Azan and Chip in the ground under a nice shady area of Trees in the outside yard of our Apartment building. It's a nice little area as there are a lot of other birds hangin' around the same spot.

Charmander on the other hand... we still love him all the same! He's changed a bit since his hunt, he seems more outgoing and confident. Before that day, he was a shy cat but I guess this is his Right to Passage or some shit like that. He's sleeping on his couch not too far from me..

C'est la vie... Cat's eat birds just like I eat noobs.

tl;dr - Gif reminds me of my experience owning a bad ass cat and Two Loving Birds.

A cow-orker had two cats (noob cat owner). Told me the wife wanted to get a bird. "Bad idea" says I. "It'll be in a cage", says he. "Matters not", says I. "The cage will be on a six-foot stand" he says. "Like Ian Malcolm said, nature finds a way. The bird is doomed."

Does he listen to me? No. Gets bird. In a cage. Six feet off the ground, and no where near anything a cat can climb up on. One day he sees the bird on it's perch, standing on one leg.

Because it only had one left.

Evidently the other cat went without that day. He locked the bird up after that. Derp.

[–]AngelicJennifer 2 points3 points ago

I had cockatiels and cats for many years. One cat used to sit on top of the birdcage. The bird in the cage was very angry about this. One day, we heard a scream, and off ran the cat, leaving a sizeable blood trail down the hall. The bird had bitten the crap out of him, and he never sat on her cage again. :)

Dogs can be just as bad to birds, though. We had a client bring in his friend's newly purchased husky puppy that he'd (the friend) kicked and thrown against a wall after it pounced on and killed his macaw. Anyone who puts a puppy near anything small and alive is an idiot, because they're just too playful. Anyone who gets a husky and doesn't do any research on the breed they just brought home is also an idiot.

[–]doctechnical 1 point2 points ago

Good for your cockatiel!

The friend with the one-legged bird had some kind of tiny budgie-type thing, the only way it could have been a threat to a cat is if it strapped on a vest full of explosives.

A couple years ago my boss showed up on my doorstep, he and his family had to leave town suddenly (death in the family IIRC) and he asked me to take care of his parakeet while they were gone. As he was breathlessly going on about how it would be no trouble and it was really easy to take care of, I had to stop him in mid-sentence: "I'll be happy to take care of it, but I have a cat. It's very likely you won't get all of your bird back. There's a strong possibility you won't get any of your bird back. But I'd can arrange a play date if you really want me to."

He decided to leave Tweety with someone else :)

I was fostering a semi-feral, veeeerrryy pregnant cat years ago. I watched her walk cautiously along a wall in our basement and, when she reached the door along that wall, lean down and catch a mouse in her jaws as if it was nothing at all. Her timing was absolutely perfect and for being so damn fat with kittens she moved like a silent, weightless death trap.

[–]doctechnical 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In my experience the females are by far the deadlier of the species. Males will "play with" (read: torture to death) their prey, but females tend to catch, kill, and eat. Efficiency is key.

Which makes sense from an evolutionary sense: when mama cat has a litter of kittens stashed away waiting for din-din, she doesn't want to be away from the nest any longer than absolutely necessary. There are many other predators that think kittens are tasty. So run out, grab the snack, get home and give the kids a bath.

Then later she has to catch prey to teach the rugrats how to hunt properly for themselves.

[–]mckatze 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've only had one male cat out of many, but so far he is by far the most insane, murderous hunter I have ever encountered. There is no "play" for him, there is only quick, silent death for anything that crosses his path. We absolutely cannot let him outside because he would obliterate the bird population. The other cat we have is a female that is too old and lazy to even consider mousing. She flops on the floor and meows if she sees one...

Look at the rear legs of a cat. Look at those huge muscles. Those are massive springs, and when thet unwind, kitty can fly.

I've seen a cat jump over six feet into the air, from a standing start. It was trying to catch a bird.

Damn.

My mom lets our cat run around on a tether in the backyard. He doesn't have claws so we cannot let him roam free.

Well some smart ass birds decided to start diving at him because they somehow new he was restricted or just were asshole birds. But he did exactly what this cat did. The bird swooped down and he leaped, caught it and brought it to the ground. Without claws though he couldn't hold on to it very long and it escaped .

[–]Yeugwo 1 point2 points ago

How do you get him to stay tethered? My cats will not stop squirming until they get out

[–]cymbalrush 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

We use a harness, which he doesnt mind. Collars are dangerous anyways since they can get caught on things.

[–]Yeugwo 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, we tried a harness not a collar. I tightened it as much as I could without choking them and they still did a crazy dance until they got out.

A friend of mine got his cat to stay tethered....they would hook it up to a brick so it could move but not far. They eventually had to go to more bricks and then weights as it got stronger and stronger haha

[–]cymbalrush 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not sure what to do other than only make them wear it for short amounts of time and then gradually extend those timespans.

My cat actually just a loose string connected to his harness now. As far as he knows hes still connected and we no longer trip over it.

My house was infested with Bats... Last Spring, my dog caught 15 bats in our living area between the months of April and June. I would then pound them with a tennis racquet. Once, my neighbor called the cops because I was ponding this racquet while my g/f was screaming at our dog to "STOP!"
