I must look malnourished
Boyfriend stopped hunting completely in April when KFC went to the bridge.
Last week he brought me a vole and placed it very carefully on the kitchen carpet where I would tread on it when I put the kettle on in the morning. Three days ago I went to sit in my armchair in the evening to watch the telly. My armchair has a throw on in with a fringe at the bottom. I sat down and my foot settled on the fringe which felt sort of round and soft, yep he'd secreted a young rattie under there, presumably in case I felt a bit peckish whilst watching TV. Last night he rushed in at 9 pm with a mousie which he spit out in front of me. "here you are, meowmie.." It's not that I want him to bring them to me, I don't particularly, but he completely lost heart for hunting when KFC was gone so I hope this means he's cheering up. He isn't a cat that likes to hunt himself for rodents to eat, he likes them to be a gift ;-) Tweed |

The occasion was marked by feasting, dancing, and the public beheading of a whiny, tedious group of people who would not stop insisting that, technically, the new millennium did not begin until January 1, 1001. -- Dave Barry |

Maybe he is trying to tell you to get another kitty so he can help with the
feeding. "Christina Websell" wrote in message ... Boyfriend stopped hunting completely in April when KFC went to the bridge.

He used to love hunting for KFC but when she went to RB..he just stopped completely until now. I know he misses her but now he is hunting for me and it's cheered him up. I have to be discreet about putting his prey in the bin. I wait until he's out. Tweed |

I will get another one, but it has to arrive here itself. One will come,
like my two did. I'm not going looking in the shelters. "Granby" wrote in message ... Maybe he is trying to tell you to get another kitty so he can help with the feeding.

I have to be discreet about putting his prey in the bin. I wait until he's out. I'm so glad to hear that he's perking up again. He's such a chivalrous gentleman, he needs someone to bring his offerings to. I never realized that a cat really notices when you respond to their gifts of dead prey. Smudge used to show up at my front door, giving her special and unmistakable "I've caught a mouse" meow. I'd open the main door but not the screen door, and look through. Sure enough, she'd be sitting there with a dead mouse at her feet. Early on, I would say loudly, "Don't even THINK you're coming in here with that!" She would sit there meowing at me. But one day it occurred to me that maybe she wanted praise, so instead, I said, "Good girl! Good Smudgie!" She immediately picked up the mouse in her mouth and threw it in the air a couple of times. Then she bent down and heartily began to eat it. So I always praised her after that. Jeez, I never thought I'd miss her showing up with dead mice! -- I'm in favor of animal liberation. Why? Because I'm an animal. -- Edward Abbey |

maybe the wanting extra food and not hunting were part of his mourning
process, and now he sees you aren't going anywhere or sending him anywhere he is settling down and getting back to normal, Lee "Christina Websell" wrote in message ...
