Air Arms Owners Club

Since the move to the village our 4 cats have been happier and more contented. They still like their long sessions curled up on the bed or on favourite chairs but their lives have been transformed by the hunting opportunities. At the old house we got the occasional mouse or young bird but not often. Now we're getting their dead offerings on a daily basis from their sorties down to the farm and the old barns at the end of the lane.
Literally hundreds of shrews and mice, rats 3 or 4 times per week, a few bats, the odd bird. This week we also had a magpie left by the kitchen, this morning another large rat left in the study and a pile of unidentified bits that looked like mouse innards. The downside is wondering what parasites they're picking up so they're on a strict regime of worming tablets.
I just hope they don't snaffle one of the hens!

my brothers cat leave`s them "gifts" they went away for a month and one of the neighbours was feeding the cat.
the cat has a magnetic collar which allows him too open and close the cat flap so he can come and go as he pleases when my brother returned from holiday there was a distinct smell coming from upstairs the little cutie had left a rat on the bedroom floor which was a little ripe by the time they had returned home

Our one eyed warrior "spike" the tom cat gifts us regular

Our old cat used to leave us the occasional gift! Usually, but not always, dead. The sight of us trying to catch a Blue Tit or Sparrow whilst being chased by the cat would have made good telly! Fortunately we never got anything too exotic for a gift - unlike a good friend of mine who came home one day to find his cat part way through devouring one of his near neighbours prize Koi carp

The other 'gift' I heard about from a former colleague was, of all things, a duck! Not a Ruddy one, just a Mallard drake!

I hate the little bleeders! They are worse than anything else for killing song birds and small mammals!
I hate the sound of a cornered young black bird chick about to be killed. Not a cat fan at all!!!

They should all be kept indoors because of the havoc they reek on the neighborhood. If they're not shiteing in my garden they're killing summat! Any dog owner would be held accountable if their pet were roaming the neighborhood at night doing what cats do.
