Drowning Cat Toys -- When Dead Just Isn't Dead Enough

 
Posted by Picasa
It’s Monday morning and the alarm (electronic or feline) has finally rousted you from your snug bed. You shuffle to the kitchen for a tall cup of joe to shake the sleep from your eyes. You halt riveted in terror! There, in your cat’s water dish, is a dead mouse!

Actually, to be fair, the mouse was never alive. You pulled the little purple catnip filled guy from a package just a couple of days ago. Fluffy had a ball batting him off your walls and down the hallway. Now, before your own shower you have to dry off Fluffy’s new best friend, or enemy depending on your perspective.

Why did Fluffy decide to drown the mouse? Drowning prey isn’t exactly “normal” cat behavior. Did she join some strange cult? What gives?

There is the possibility that it was an accident. During the course of play the mouse could have taken a bad bounce off your refrigerator and landed in the bowl. But if you’re noticing an epidemic of drowned mice it could be that Fluffy is hiding the mouse. Hey, it’s just the right color and she doesn’t want to share. According to About.com, cats in the wild often hide their kills in a nest to protect them from predators. Sticking the mouse in her water bowl is Fluffy’s way of keeping her precious mousies from that drooling canine you insist on having.

I also think that Fluffy doesnt want to share her kill just like when some cats hide their cat toys.

I don't see something rare in that act because cats like to hunting rats and mice, this is because I think that's very common.

I do not know if it's just me or if everybody else encountering issues with your blog. It appears as if some of the written text on your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This could be a issue with my internet browser because I've had
this happen before. Many thanks

It's genuinely very complex in this full of activity life to listen news on TV, so I simply use world wide web for that reason, and get the newest information.
