Unfortunately we lost our big male tabby back in January to roadkill. He was a 6.5kg bruiser whose record was devouring 3 small rabbits within a 24 hour period. Diet, what diet!
Our remaining female tabby who is a more modest size is currently training our new addition by bringing in various wildlife for the young 'un to practice on. We woke yesterday morning to young Grace doing aerial gymnastics over a mouse in its last throes together with a half eaten a small eel in the hallway. This morning there was half a small rabbit under the dining table and a sleepy and contented tabby laxing out downstairs.
We are on 5 acres with a river boundary and assume the eels venture into the pasture in wet weather as they seem to be common prey. Without the cats we would be overrun with vermin, as are the cat-less neighbours.
