Now, MOM, you are supposed to receive his blessed offering and make a big deal over how impressive he is! Every good kitty mommy has done this (then, trying very hard not to gag, quietly taken the offering and chucked it in the nearest thicket or dumpster...)

Great action shot! Those can be so hard to catch.

They're even harder with Mr Twisty. I have many beautiful shots of him napping, though...

How cute, but yet gross too. I had a couple of cats that have given me thier offerings before. I had one cat that cared for me so much she was going to have her kittens on me. I had no clue and my brother came in and saw her and could tell she was in labor. I was totally grossed out and huriedly made a place for her to have her kittens. While having them she even tryed hard to get out of the box and get to me. It was sweet in a wierd way.

ROFL, Lisa! I hadda cat like that... It was difficult to get photos of him doing ANYTHING BUT "napping"... Yes, Plunkett usually leaves his "offerings" right where I have to step under the carport to get into my car... Either that or the front porch smack DAB in front of the front door...

Oh, Laura, he definitely is that, alright! ...lol...

He doesn't usually EAT them, Bonnie (thank goodness... I mean... I GUESS "thank goodness"... stepping on them isn't any fun either...), but likes to leave the mauled carcasses laying somewhere where I'll be SURE to find them... YUCK.

Yes, Trista, I know what you mean... sweet inna gross sorta way... lol!

LOL. Great action shots. He's just trying to feed the family. I have no idea why kitties like to toss their kill in the air. I had a cat who was a master at sneaking in the house with his prize. He would then take it into the hall and bounce it off the walls. That was extremely gross, but I always praised him for his hunting prowess.

No, Tinch, he really doesn't get too vocal about it... However, he knows that I will look over when he gets "a little too rambunctious" because that only happens when he's got something he wants me to see...lol...

Hopefully SO, SD... Hopefully so... ;o)

I KNOW, Marian... It's really very cute that he totally believes he's helping to "bring home the bacon" with his "kills"... He always generously brings them back to share with good ole mom... ROFL!

Awwww.... Penni... You kitties WUV the neighbor lady!!! She has no IDEA how much she is loved, does she?.... Pity, that....

Great hunter - must receive praise.:)
Jean, he was just telling you a story by throwing it up into the air - so you could appreciate what he went through to keep the premises free of vermin.

Beautiful kitty.
