My cat was yelling MEOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!! So I asked if chris hurt the kitty, and he said no, then went to see what she was yelling about.

When he got to the kitchen he saw that she wanted to show him something....

This was her surprise!!

Did you actually take those pictures while the cat was killing that bird?

She brought the bird into the house still alive and then kept playing with it, so I picked it up and threw it outside. She eventually killed it.

Our cats prefer lizards and snakes... Bringing it in the house to you is like a present in Cat-ese, the ultimate gift. It does seem weird that cats kill without eating, but so goes the Animal Kingdom...

But you know that bird lovers are gong to pitch a fit here... (you're just waiting for it aren't you... bored today? heh-heh)

I held off as long as I could!

Here goes, what if I had posted pictures someone or something killing a cat, and then said, 'the cat wasn't dead when he brought him in, so I threw it outside, and she eventually killed it'?

Why is it okay, cute, funny or otherwise acceptable for a cat to kill a bird? I certainly wouldn't photograph it, much less share the photos with the public.

A guy was recently busted for doing the same thing, only using neighborhood cats as death-toys for his pit-bull.

Me like birds.

Which means you could care a great deal. If you didn't care, you couldn't care less

It is nature... We did not set the bird up... we did not MAKE the cat do it... as a matter of fact the cat has a dang BELL on her neck!! haa!

I think it is cool.

And someONE killing a cat is not the same as a kitty killing a bird steve.

It would be a whole different story if I had wounded the bird, or somehow MADE the cat do it, but I didn't, NATURE did this. And like I said, I think it is cool and no different then the nature channel.

Welcome to the animal kingdom! (and its many facets of survival of the fittest)
Cats kills birds. Domesticate them if you wish, but they still kill birds.

Have you ever watched the Discovery channel?
National Geographic?
Animal Channel?

Every been to the zoo?

How about the African Watering Hole web cam that blazed the internet with the force of a September wildfire capturing people fascination with animals in their natural habitat.

Poor taste, schmaste.
What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it. Who was it who said, "Blessed is the man who has found his work"? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his work--not somebody else's work. The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all. Cursed is the man who has found some other man's work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains? The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great.
Mark Twain

my cat brings a dead mouse or bird to our front porch at least once a month - he's a very good mouser and I like that he's helping keep the rodent population down.

Seems like poor taste to me, but whatever. Cats do kill birds from time to time. I suppose if a coyote comes into the neighborhood and catches a cat, we should just take pictures while the coyote kills the cat, eh?
