My cat and a squirrel?

my little ginger male cat has just bought in a squirral with a chrushed head. the squirral was as big as the cat. it was a frog the other day.how do i stop him doing this and is it normal for cats to kill squirrals????? thaks very much.My cat and a squirrel?
if the squirrel has a crushed head then he probably didn't kill it, it could have been a road kill, but cats do bring things home, they do it to say they love you, we would call it a present, but as they don't get much pocket money, it's the only way to get you something, all jokes a side, it is normal for them to do this. i know its sad, but it is natures way, try putting a bell round his neck to scare the other animals away, the only problem with bells is that if a bigger animal is chasing your cat ie: a dog or fox then it can't hide as well.My cat and a squirrel?
You should be flattered that he's bringing you such a HUGE present! My cat does it all the time but thank god, they never fit through the cat flap, I just trip over them the next day :( It's a cats way of saying how much they love you - we all buy presents for our family and friends so show how much they mean to us and cats do exactly the same. My cat has grown out of all that now and has settled on rabbits.
Doubtful your little hunter killed the squirrel. My money would be on the squirrel every time. More like he found it injured and took complete advantage of that.


As for the frog, sorry frog. Cats are hunters, fact. You will never stop that instinct. I have three cats.


Rodge The Podge....Air-force, no doubt. Birds are fare game to him.


Mr Trinkles.....(BIG ginger chap) Army.....ground dwellers, rats mice, frogs (I put it down to he is a little to fat to catch the feathered friends)


Ms Sqeekums...(was a house cat for 3 years prior to me having her) never seen her catch a single thing. She chatters at birds and looks on with interest when the boys bring ';kills'; home but so far so good with her....but then she is only 3 and there is still plenty of time....it's the only thing I don't like about cats.....
You can't stop him-he's a cat and they are natural hunters.





Yes bringing back squirrels is normal.My cousins cat specialises in rabbits but has caught many squirrels too and has even brought back baby roe deer.He is terrible at catching birds though-has tried many times but never managed it yet.
Keep him well fed and indoors.If you can't keep him in all the time at least don't let him out at nite.


Indoor cats live much longer than cats allowed to go outside for many reasons.
You can't stop him cats are predators. Look on the bright side though, he brings them back as a present for you. About time you got him something don't you think.
My cats never been brave enough to take on a squirrel but ive also had frogs, birds, mice, even grass snakes brought into my home. Theres not really much that can be done to stop them.
the cat has just bought you back a present its their way of saying thank you. plus you're lucky its not alive ours bring back rats 'alive' so be thankful it was dead
i bloody hate the fact cat do this,





so far





ive seen





3blue birds


5 baby mice





i hate it soooo much!!!!!
keep your cat indoors.
