Thread: Damur eats with his hands!

Our big ginger tabby Sampson is well fed, perhaps overfed, and he is a fierce hunter. Some cats just have a natural instinct to hunt. I thought he was napping in the sun and suddenly he took off running after a bird he saw in the garden. He has killed many birds, mice, and even small squirrels, and also kills fireflies and butterflies. However, when we had a mouse in the basement he didnt even try to catch it! I guess why bother chasing the food when it's in a dish in the kitchen???

Sampson is not a MC, and he will hold his prey between his paws, then bat them around while they are still alive before he eats them. He's a big baby cat inside, terrified of his own shadow, but he is a bloodthirsty menace to society outside LOL! My two MC's wouldn't know what to do, and I think early exposure to hunting makes a difference sometimes. Sampson probably spent the majority of his life outdoors and learned to hunt as a kitten. My other three are too domesticated lol
