He's a proven killer...mice, rats, squirrels. He got this squirrel the other day while I was washing my car. Trotted by carrying it by the throat, then chomped on it til done. He seemed bummed when it wouldn't play with him.
This morning I start making coffee and while the water is boiling I sit down to check GD. Next thing I know he drops this damn thing...headless...on the living room floor. How does a cat catch a bird like this? Little bugger must have tricked it somehow

Damnit OP, should have just left the squirrel pic and labeled it as a crow. Thought I was looking at a wrongful identification thread at first

Hell of a cat.
Is it neutered? Cat like that should have the honor of getting some strange on the side and passing on its genes. |

I had a cat that was a real hunter. Daily birds, mice, etc. It survived a few cold winters up here. Than it just disappeared at age 5 or 6. I think a coyote or mountain lion got it. Tis the circle of life.

Animals are funny that way.
My boxerdog has a lazy eye, and sometimes I'm not sure where he's looking. Yet somehow, he has leveraged his eyesight into some canine savant ability to catch birds out of the air. It's practically a hobby for him to snatch low-flying birds. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

About 10 years ago my wife adopted a stray. We used to let it come and go as it pleased until it got pregnant. On day I saw it out in the front yard playing around. She was maybe two at the time. A pigeon was flying around between the trees and swooping down at the cat. The cat eventually jumped on the pigeons back when it swooped down and tore the hell out of it. Blood and feathers everywhere. It was pretty impressive.

These bluejays, they show up like the bogeyman from stories. Dive bombing people... where's that get fun? A cat named Jayne. |

My 10 year old brittany has caught numerous birds, mostly robbin. Most impressive was the midair snag of a barn swallow. He near did a backflip. My younger brittany has yet to catch a bird, only chipmunks.

A crow is larger, closer to 3 feet. A raven is bigger yet.besides, that looks pretty black like a grackle. Crows and ravens tend to bea shiny black, almost a very dark purple hue to them, best way I can describe them Crows and ravens are smart as well. Less likely to be caught. Grackles are fucking stupid. Edit: upon a second referral on someone who has a bigger screen than a phone, he sees gray on the underside. I can't. Nor can k distinguish the tail feathers but I'll defer to him on juvenile crow |

You sure the cat got it first?
I used to think my cat was a Tier One killing machine. One day I watched a hawk swoop in, kill a dove, remove it's head and fly away. Guess who casually strolled over there, scooped it up and moved it to our doorstep. Fucking slacker. |

We have a black male cat that looks a lot like yours, adopted him as a stray.
When he knows there's something in the brush, he'll sit at the edge of a clearing or what have you for practically hours, completely motionless. Does the same thing with the bird feeder. Then the moment comes and bam, he explodes forward and he's on it. One morning I woke up and was making coffee, saw what looked like a Reeses' wrapper on the kitchen floor, and went to pick it up. I always have Reeses in the house so it made sense. Nope, it was an almost-dead bat that he caught and brought into the house. It moved a little when I touched it, but had been mauled. I've watched him jump a rabbit den full of young rabbits, pull out and kill all of them one by one, eat two and start on the third before deciding he was full. The worst part is, he tends to puke up the undigested bones and fat in a huge wad of steaming gunk about a day later, so if I find him eating something dead, he sleeps in the garage for a couple days. He goes on walks too and will follow for the whole mile or so of our gravel road. Used to walk on the sidewalk alongside when we lived in the suburbs, too.
