I had the honor of receiving a letter from our USPS mail carrier letting me know that I could pick up my mail at the local post office. She was done seeing headless squirrels on my doorstep.

I don't think it would be curled/coiled like that if dead.  

There's a play aspect to most cats' hunting.  Seems like the less likely prey, bugs, lizards, snek, the more likely they are to just play with it some.  That play can be fatal though.

My cats like to play with mice and chipmunks they catch.  Problem is they bring them inside to do it and don't always finish the job.

By the way, Skylar, who looks like a big puff ball, is a stone cold killer.  She takes out 2-3 birds every week.  I wish she wouldn’t, but there’s no stopping her.  And she brings them to us as an offering.

Well, you could keep her in the house.  We lost one during his adventures, and I actually trusted him outside (not the hunting part).  It's safer for them and safer for the "environment."

Had cats since the day I was born... can't imagine a house without one (well, two).  We have a Siamese Mix and Snowshoe... great cats.  Agree they are best inside... outdoor cats are ruthless hunters and, at least in this part of town, eventually end up becoming acquaintances with coyotes or foxes.

I think I live in your part of town 78749 and this one above has a cone on because she likes hunting outside. Not sure what ripped up her tail - $700. Fine now but

Hopefully she survives going out but the foxes and chayotes are dangerous . I tell my daughter and wife she can’t be out at night

The cat is a badass I admit. More of a dog really. Luckily my dog scares off a lot but she’s normally on the couch

Yup - we're an adjacent zip code but right by lots of greenbelts, parkland, etc. so lots of wildlife out here (love the roadrunners).  We have two neighborhood cats that like to hang out at our house and they seem to be doing fine but you do wonder at what point they will disappear.  We can think of two other neighborhood cats that disappeared within the past two years... most likely coyotes.  Sometimes you can hear them after a kill in Circle C park.

I have 5 cats, we didn't plan 5 cats, but they all needed homes. I said enough at 4, but the elderly partially blind cat that took up residence in our sideyard was hard to find a home for.

Biscuit doing the blep and one of both of them after getting super high on catnip. We got him as a bday gift for my daughter in April and he has fit in well with our older black cat. After our last cat passed away (RIP Izzy) it just felt weird not having two fuzzbutts in the house.

My cat must be broken. Cuz catnip does nothing. Maybe a brief 5 sec freakout/enjoyment. But later nada. 

Perhaps your cat is a recovering catnip addict and has conquered its addiction. Or at least it has become a more sensible drug user.

Had a Siamese who would sleep in the sink. Fucker also figured out how to turn all the lights on. 

That cat has FIV so he can’t go outside at all and weighs 16lbs. Thicccccc
