chuck it...yeah, one never knows where the animal came from.. personally I'm waiting for our two younger cats to actually catch something... the older one does, but he seems to work on more of a 'catch and release' program. (I've been told that the hunt is more fun than the catching.. on a number of levels). and besides! the crows wold more than like a nice afternoon buffet!

OK OK so I chucked it. I have eaten of a hare left on the doorstep by the cats before and lived to tell the tale, but everyone seems so adamant that it could have a dread disease ...
I think it probably hopped into the garden of its own accord, then got spooked by cat, and jinked into the fence where cat dealt with it - cos I can't see how the cat dragged anything as big as and heavier than itself through the fence (stock fence with 6" square wire mesh). Dragging it through the [closed] gate would have been a possible, I suppose... What about roadkill? Oh, and cowhead, you'll be sorry when they do start catching stuff, nothing worse than stepping on cold (or warm!) entrails in your bare feet in the dead (ho ho) of night ...

I just noticed this thread. Did you throw it in a dirty trash can, or is it still relatively clean? Can you get it back? Do you have a meat grinder?

Your cat is just lucky it wasn't Old Mr. Benjamin Bunny, who had no opinion whatever of cats...
You can tell by looking how fresh the meat is anyway. I'd have chucked it since bunnies ain't my bag, baby.

I chucked it over the fence into a field for the crows yesterday morning. I knew it was fresh (rigor mortis had set in and not yet passed off), but several people seemed concerned about disease ...

yeah.. looking forward to that, one of my past cats was an avid and prolific hunter.. nothing more pleasant than waking up with mouse heads ringing your bed. really surreal to wake up to. then again, from the cats point of view I ought to have been flattered that shoo fly wanted to share his hunt with me,

A few days before we got married, my wedding dress-to-be was hung on the back of the bedroom door. A deep purple and black ballgown with a black taffeta overskirt. We awoke one morning to find black shreds all over the bedroom. I was so relieved to find the squelchy carcass of the blackbird whose feathers they were. Our cats also brought in live squirrels and pigeons through the catflap. The mess made by a terrified pigeon trapped under a bed by two toying cats is fowl.

Try a rabbit disected in the middle of a light tan living room rug. It's amazing how much blood a rabbit holds.

Lay the dead rabbit along the roadside, drop a few coloured eggs and a small basket and then take a picture, and add the caption "Easter will be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances" and leave it where kids will find it!
