Dear Escapist, we need a cat thread.
No, not a cat picture thread or a "name my cat" thread (which is what search results turned up).
We need a cat appreciation thread! My cat just saved my life from this awful spider that was crawling along the wall. He knocked it down with a simple bat and devoured it in seconds, and now rests after his epic battle in the sunny spot by the window. What greater pet is there?
Share your cat's/cats' best hunting stories!
One day when I came home from school a few years ago, I found a small trail of blood and feathers starting from the front door and leading up to my parents' master bedroom. At the end of it was a very dead and mutilated bird and a very nonchalant cat. The funny thing is that the only way he could have gotten that bird was by luring it to the front door and pulling it inside. You see, my front door is covered by a big metal screen door that has MAYBE an inch of an opening between the base of the door frame and the bottom of the screen. My cat somehow got a bird so curious that it wandered to that tiny hole and he snatched it and pulled it through before preparing it as an offering for us. I can't say I would have found a bird to be a threat to the household, but I trust my cat's judgment.
