Weird things your animals have brought in

[Naki Rat]

While living in Nova Scotia, Canada my partner's black lab accosted a porcupine while being walked in the woods resulting in a look pretty similar to the attached Rotty photo. Apparently porcupines are capable of unloading 'shooting' their quills if threatened and Archie got a face full.

Plucking the barbed quills out using a pair of pliers wasn't much enjoyed by us or the dog but not half as bad as dealing with as the results of a dog versus skunk encounter, which happened to both Archie and Picasso (a Catahoula) while we were there. Yes they stink BAD!!

Between the countless cats I've been raised with I've seen the usual stuff, but also ducks and rabbits, rats the same size as the cat who'd caught it, and recently a cat brought in not one, but two birds in one mouthful. There was also a large weta once, and huhu beetles.

We also once had a cat who chased the farrier's dog.

My cat (now r.i.p) used to bring in & torture the usual sparrows & mice, a few times he caught big wetas and even a huge green parrot once. The cat was never too happy when I hurled his kills over the fence

the cat brought home a little brown frog once. It walked in to the middle of the room, spat it out and looked at us as if to say 'what the hell is that?!?'

there weren't any punctures in the frog and it went on with the business of frogging around.

Aww that Wiki your cat is cute!

It's amazing, hairballs, as I know them, bring in their catch to show us they really do something instead of sleeping all day. That's all my cats do. Eat, sleep, and shit.

My Black Lab bought home a nice bit of mutton one day (still frozen and wrapped ) I cooked it and shared with her.

Our Gareth (tabby that is gay ... another story) dropped a fish under the bed a coupla months ago... flap flap... nice

His best mate (ginga, gay boy) , delivered an eel to our neighbours daughter a wee while ago. She still has not got over the trauma of the "snake" in the bed.

Had a lab once who must have been a mechanic in a past life, she was forever bringing tools from the garage into the house, one of our cats keeps catching Skinks and leaving them alive in the family room for the girls to find after school.
