Jezebel & to a lesser extent Gabriel are bringing frogs into the house again, I put one in a bag in a bin yesterday yesterday as I thought it was dead & then about 20 minutes later I hear a rustling sound coming from the bin, it must have been playing dead & leaving an unpleasant taste in Jezebel's mouth for it not to be half eaten. Yay the joys of having cats, they kill our native pest control.

They are only expressing how much they love you. We send chocolates, they bring half dead/dead animals. Same thing really.

The time to worry is when they decide to bring rats into the house Pixel my sweet little monster decided it was time to teach me and Paul to hunt. Strolled straight into the middle of the living room with what we thought was a dead rat, she then dropped it and watched as it ran off then turned her expectant gaze on us. needles to say a good half hour of frantic furniture moving accompanied by shouts of 'get it! its over there!' followed ;D ;D

Have you really got frogs - you are lucky. We had some deformed and strangely coloured ones in the garden about ten years ago and since then I have only seen two. We get loads of toads both the common one and the "Tommy Frog" as it was called when I worked in the Forestry Commission. Its a rich red toad.
Our fat slob of a moggy brings in rats, voles mice and rabbits but not so far reptiles or amphibians. We once had one that brought in moles. You could hear them swearing across the fields as they were carried home. Little buggers bit hard when you tried to rescue them too.

I have no idea where they come from as our pond has not had water in since we moved here & possibilly didn't have for quite a long while with the amount of composted leaf matter in it & we are completely surrounded by by a minimum of 6ft of fencing

It didn't sound much like anything by the time it was found, but it was huge

My youngest Juniper climbs about 20 foot into a tree the other side of my wall in the Arboretum Park, nicks freshly laid pigeons eggs, gets it down, climbs over the 6 foot wall and brings them in to me unbroken and still warm!
Isis brought me a present for the first time last week - a vole. She was heading to the bedroom where I was in bed but thankfully Willow stopped her in her tracks and disposed of it in the wheely bin.

My cat is starting to learn she can climb very high out of reach. Fact she was going to the vets a couple of weeks ago, so she decided to climb up the tree (took us about an hour to get her down)
