He also picks fights with neighbour cats and dogs and loses every time, costing me a fortune in vet bills. I love him.
Maybe make the cat indoor-only and save on vet bills. And save the animals in your neighborhood.
It’s a fact that cats hunt for fun in addition to sustenance. Since you presumably feed your cat, we can only assume that everything he attacks outdoors is for fun.
Outdoor cats decimate bird populations. Letting your cat out is terrible for your local ecosystem. Seeing this stuff really frustrates me.

You’re absolutely right.
Tom and Jerry
The clip out of the top of the ear is done by animal control upon request after being neutered.
Yeah, no. That’s not a thing where I live. It happened 5 years after he was neutered and came with other scratches and bite marks as well.
To the mouse: “We have ways of making you talk.”
He’s just bringing you toys to practice your hunting skills!
Maybe he wants a friend not food.
Our cat brought a live bat into the house once and then just let it go. The dogs were all over it, but thankfully didn’t kill or injure it. I let it crawl along the wall to the front door, then it climbed up the screen door. I opened the screen and closed the front door. We checked back a half hour later and it was gone, so I guess it was okay, and flew away. That was a crazy experience.
Stop letting your cat outside.
Only if I can keep you inside too.
As if I’m not already basically an indoor human
Some cats are escape artists- my timeshare cat is a verified cat burglar.
(He’d steal carrots of all things.)
They weren’t letting him out intentionally. Took a long while to seal up all the ways he found to get out.
But yes, it’s a dangerous world for cats. It’s not safe for them, and it’s not safe for critters they go all murder hobo on.
One of our cats kept getting out of our old house - took us a couple of weeks to work out that she’d found an access hatch into the subfloor that we didn’t know about in the back of a cupboard and worked out how to lift it up
Sykes was apparently getting out through a an attic hatch and an airvent in the roof, then it was down the outside of a gutter and the pillar it ran along (the slate/flatrock stuff that’s meant to be uneven?)
he got stuck in my greenhouse when I replaced the paddle latch that he was batting open to walk out with a sliding bolt latch that he couldn’t get open. Anyhow… poor guy was scared shitless and angry at the same time, by the time I found him. Putting out a box for him worked enough to get him down and home, at least.
There was also the window screen, the occasional door getting left open, the basement thingy. probably a dozen different ways that his family still hasn’t found.
I get to watch him now, when they go on vacation (hence calling him my timeshare cat. I’m not at a place to have my own full time, but I can do a week or so on occasion.)
Cat: “What are you doing with the food?”
He just wanted to give you a present.
Damn human didn’t eat the mouse I worked to catch a-gain.
This is such an image.
Officer Cat is about to start interrogating that mouse.
They friends not food
Let that poor mouse go. He has stories to tell his friends.
He was in the bowl for less than a minute, then let out in the garden while the cat was locked inside for a while.
