Just like clock work.


This is a daily occurrence.  Gracie brings a snake in the house.  It's really more like a really big worm, but it's a snake.  A very harmless snake that Jody is really creeped out by.
 
This one was quiet aggressive and would raise his head up a couple of inches off the floor and strike at her.

 Gracie didn't care, she'd just grab it by the tail kind of like Steve Irwin would do and then she'd flip the snake over her head so that it went flying through the air.  Then she'd pounce on it!

I took these pictures before I started videoing her.  The video lasts a good 5 minutes so I would have to make a You Tube video to show it, and I have no idea how to do that. The ending is awesome!

This past two weeks besides the daily snake she's brought in a dead mouse, baby geckos, a ton of june bugs and something rather large that bled all over the kitchen floor in two different spots.... I have yet to find the body and not from a lack of trying.  We think maybe a baby rabbit.  I'm hoping she took it back outside.

She also tried to catch a opossum that was bigger than her, but I spoiled that when I spotlighted him with a flashlight and she was distracted and he got away. 

Oh the joys of owning a feral cat.

EWWW! Love Gracie; hate her playthings. I'm with Jody. Can't handle snakes. Even little ones. Glad my cat is too lazy to drag anything in.

She's a busy girl! The snake catch sounds very entertaining. I sure hope she took the bleeding catch back out too. It would be awful to discover by smell....if you know what I mean. :-/

I almost adopted a cat 2 months ago that looks exactly like her. Wish I had done it. I talked myself out of it and now the cat is gone.

Love your cat! Mum has a white one that insists on bringing in her kill to show off to mum, which really upsets her, then gobbles them down.. all mum gets is the tail feathers to clean up. Wouldn't it be great if we could really communicate with these little creatures of ours... We might actually get a better understanding of our own lives.
