Thread: "Fetch!" with a twist - more "Steal!"

Storm isn't interested in the tins. He much more prefers my food, regardless of what it is! I make these breakfast muffins with raisins in and I'm forever running around in the morning with the plate as I just can't put it down!

Had an incident on Monday where I was making OH's sandwiches and I had my chocolate milk on the table behind me, I look round to see where Benji is, and Storm sticks his paws in the butter on the bread, so I turn around to pick him up off the counter and stick him on the floor, and there Benji is sticking his paws in my choc milk! I had choc milk pawprints all over the flat! I swear to god they are already doing co-ordinated attacks on poor defenseless me :p

Well, Monty 'took the biscuit' yesterday morning - he only ran into the house with a live magpie!

He did a circuit of the living room with me chasing him, shouting 'OUT! OUT!' - thank goodness he didn't drop it - and he ran back into the garden. Five minutes later - crash! squawk! - the magpie was on next door's roof chattering indignantly, and one of the patio pots was smashed, flowers and compost strewn about. Monty was sat chewing feathers with huge eyes.

I think that once he'd caught it (he must have moved like lightning!) he didn't really know what to do with it. Still, as far as he was concerned, it was the best thing ever, and he was cock of the walk for the rest of the day.

Oh yes, if Hector yawns when we have visitors they tend to go pale if they have just been playing with a teaser with him......

Yeah, a magpie eh ? Erm. We have fat wood pigeons and the one thing my housemate doesn't like is the boys birding once the garden is cat proofed. Ah, nature, I say.

Monty got his 'elementary' hunting stripes at a very young age, keeping the house free of flies almost from the moment he arrived at 13 weeks.
He mastered 'intermediate' a few weeks ago when he did some very successful mousing in the cellar. Now it seems he's moved on to 'advanced' - large flapping birds. Larry runs round after his brother, enjoying the chase, and wishing he was as quick.
