Can Not believe we found a headless squirrel!

Awful. One of ours has brought in a bat and a rabbit. Horrific!

We do worry about them catching bats. Fingers crossed that never happens.

We have had 3 squirrels, 5 rabbits, a pigeon (that we suspect he found dead), 2 rats, field mice, voles, too many birds.

Thankfully age is now catching up with him.

I am so incredibly grateful that he is our neighbour's cat and that our lot generally stick to catching the small stuff.

Could be a bird of prey. Often find headless pigeons at work. Ruthless hunters but will abandon their kill if disturbed.

We had half a squirrel in the garden one night - think I disturbed a fox as I was letting my dog out for a wee . Had to get my son to investigate it as I had no desire to look at it . The next morning the other half had gone so I guess the fox came back for the rest.
With that , my cat catching mice, other cats trying to catch birds and witnessing a sparrow hawk killing another bird it feels like my garden is more like a hunting ground rather than a garden !

The grossest thing I’ve seen from my work from home office window was a seagull eating a blackbird.

I don’t know how it came to have a blackbird in its possession, I just saw the seagull land on my lawn with it. The gull then tilted its head right back and took about 5 massive gulps then the blackbird was gone. It’s a image that still haunts me!

My, now deceased, lass once brought me a full sized rabbit, getting it, and herself, thro two cat flaps, she promptly dropped it at my feet so being the good cat servant I am, I enquired 'how would madam like it prepared?'

Edited to add before some smart Alec asks, no, she isn't deceased for proudly bringing home her catch

Oh how awful, I have a big phobia of birds and last year was hanging washing out and noticed a magpie up on a neighbours roof pecking at something and then realised it was another bird and on the subject of squirrels I saw a really strange photo on facebook of someone who says they make pen holders from dead squirrels they find and the photo showed a body without the head and what looked like it was stuffed with an empty tin can, have no idea was it a joke or real.
