His Lordship was on high alert after hearing something in the backyard stone wall.
.
.
Not finding anything, he tried the front lawn stone wall.
.
.
After narrowly missing a chipmunk there….
.
.
He returned to the back lawn stone wall… and waited.
.
.
Patience paid off. He snatched a mouse out of a rock crevice and ran with it to the back door, which was thankfully closed. Rodent death was fairly quick this time around …
.
.
So Dudley got bored with his prize and headed back to the wall. Leaving another fresh carcass for yours truly.

Well, those are gifts for his human, hello? Appreciate them and the dispose of them without him seeing you do it.

I strategically place them around the back yard so the night time visitors have a tasty snack. They’re always gone in the morning..

You are lucky. Our cats always tucked their fresh kills in bed with you …

He’s tried to run for the door with it in his mouth…. But when he’s harnessed and leashed, it doesn’t work.

At least the death was mercifully quick, maybe because he was taking out his frustrations at having missed that chipmunk earlier. Although, having put my foot in one too many of their holes, I’d rather see a chipmunk go down.

Our lawn is a dangerous obstacle course of holes this year.

Tell his Lordship that if really wants to impress you, he’d bring you the carcass of Ms. Red Squirrel.

I’ve told him. Repeatedly. And I true cat fashion, he ignores me.

The voles that Conall killed when we were living in Idaho became food for a raven pair. We were building a relationship, but then I moved. I’m waiting to see if I can create something similar with ravens or crows in VT, but that will require Conall’s cooperation. Maybe that’s what Dudley’s helping you do in ME!
