Just been given a present - but not quite sure what it is!!!

Spoilered picture....just in case. Not graphic, not horrific, but might not appeal to some.

What on earth is this ?? Is it a baby mole /vole? :conf:

[Pyramid*]

Think it's the former??

[Niamh.]

hhhmmmm what is that?

[Vicky.]

I have this to look forward to once mine can go out :bored:

[Ammi]

I think mole's have got huge feet, can you turn it over please Pyr

[Visage]

Why do cats think they are giving us a present when they bring this into our homes.


I never understand the logic.

Coz I don't live outside in the garden perhaps?? tee hee.

Oh... a shrew ... need to have a look to see what one looks like.

Aimee....hang on *inspects feet* it's got small feet, but very long claws for a wee baby 'whatever'.

Where the hell are the wildlife experts when you need 'em. Huh !!:conf:

[Ammi]

:suspect: the cat's just tamed it

[MTVN]

I don't mind them so much when they're dead, it's when they're alive that's the problem, once had a Rat living in our house for a few days and a nest of mice grew behind our washing machine :laugh:

You're moggy is called Shakesphere? !!

[Jordan.]

Are you going to eat it so the cat doesn't feel offended?

[Lee.]

Looks like a shrew to me :)

Methinks you may be right enough Lee....

Currently checking online recipies. Failing to find any. In lieu of this, I am seeking out a local taxidermist - so avoiding offending said cat.

[Benjamin]

It's a shrew. I see them all the time. I knew it wasn't a mole instantly as I have researched Moles loads due to the game. :laugh:

[Ammi]

Just pop it in the cupboard and get it out everytime your cat comes in......

First I've seen one - it's usually mice or birds. god, shows how little I'm aware of what's around my own bliddy garden as far as wildlife is concerned.

*makes mental note to go back to school at some point*

Just pop it in the cupboard and get it out everytime your cat comes in......


She lost interest in it very quickly unfortunately. Bliddy furry weans, such a limited attention span these days. Pfft. :D

I heard the 'different type of mieow' from her and instantly thought.... "Aye aye, she's got a mouse or something"...... non- cat owners will think I'm crackers, but there is a distinctly different type of 'mieow' when they've brought something like that home ....... it's hard to describe but it's most definately very recognisable from the friendly / angry / territorial / hungry noise they make.

*secondary note to self: book in for next therapy session*

[Annie]

Its a shrew. Cos eh I am a pure genius.

[rk3388]

aww poor shrew ;(

[Pyramid*]

Cat's just brought me another pressie. :(


Warning: DON'T look if you don't think you'll like it....

On the plus side..... she must REALLY love her mammy!! :D

[InOne]

Poor little thing.

RIP

[Pyramid*]

Poor little thing.

I kinda thought the same thing tbh.

I know it's instinct for the furry one but it's still not the most pleasant.

She had a little bird the other day, but I managed to get her out of the living room and got the little guy to safety. Still finding some of it's feathers here and there (she brought it via the upstairs bedroom window, downstairs).

LOL.

Did you think "Awwh....that's a really nice present, a wee kitty cat"

:D

the evil lurked further down as I'm sure you saw!

[Ninastar]

See I thought it was what I referred to as a vole (and I'm Scottish) - but it does look exactly like a shrew: mmmmm...... wonders ?#

Just checked: and shrews & voles are different creatures.

Annie states it's a shrew. You're saying vole. !! LOL

Whatever it was: It's was a wee furry creature, that now is nothing but a little mashed up skeleton somewhere in landfill now: and that's a definate!

[Jords]

Have a nibble see what it tastes like.

What the vole/shrew or the mouse?

You're too late on the vole/shrew. The mouse has gone to the great big green wheelie bin.

Now I'm up for many a thing: but raking through my bin, for dead mice to taste a bit, is a step too far, even for me.

Sorry to disappoint.
