What I don't understand, though [pouting] is why several of you praised the kitty for being such a good cleaner-upper, when it was the kitty who created the mess in the first place. :) Crit, it was a plump juicy pigeon. The color looks a little off in the photo. It was grayish black, not purple. And oh, Martha! Gophers! And funny what you said about leaving the snout & gall bladder. When our kitties are outside they eat all but the hind legs and tail. We are always finding the back ends of small mammals in the driveway. This is the first time I've ever seen one of them reduce a bird so completely. A detail I forgot to mention but which might explain: the cat food bowl was completely empty.

What kind of bird was that anyway? Lucky your cat was so tidy with the remains. My cat used to bring me presents sometimes. I'm told it's an act of devotion. Golly, what a story.

And I thought it was bad when I came home yesterday and stepped right into cat vomit. But my kitty never goes outside and has never eaten anything larger than a spider. I think if I found a dead bird (or gopher!) in the house I would have to move everyone out and don gas mask and hazardous waste gear to do a major toxic clean-up. (Dead things outside do not bother me at all, however. Unless someone touches them with their bare hands.) Oh, ugh.
