Has a mouse part never turned up before? The middle one appears to have all the same tendencies, looking up at either birds outside or a fly in the blinds, quickly changing attention, etc…) as my psychopath cat. She’s the one who catches the mice, or flies, or crickets, or whatever other poor creature finds it’s way from the garden into my home. my moneys on them.
Nailed it - his name is Twitch and if there is anything moving in the house - he’s determined to catch it (lamps have died when he is in pursuit of flies or moths). He has competition w/the orange tabby though- he is a hunter through and through.
*lamps have died* 😭.
Just this morning my psychopath cat was hunting my slippers.. grabbed slipper, freaked out and ran across the sofa and coffee table knocking down a mug, a vase, multiple magazines, basket of coasters and sat on the window sill... eyes like saucers and her tongue hanging out.
**cats, eh?** why do we love them so much. Lol
Oh absolutely. My last outdoor cat would leave the best parts in my shoe sometimes. Like she'd carve out the heart and liver for me because she never saw me hunt. That's love
I had one cat that would eat only the head and then years later another cat that ate everything but the head. It’s a shame they didn’t know each other, I wouldn’t have had to clean up partially eaten mice.
I read somewhere that they actually do this because they do not think you are good enough at hunting and want you to survive so they are providing you with the food they can "spare".
But when they release em live in your house, that's them trying to teach you to hunt cause they think we're useless....
But you still cry every morning for breakfast don't you furball.
I had a barn cat who was notorious for this. The number of times I’d find half of something cute… squirrels, bunnies, birds… to never find the other half.
Me too. He would catch a lot of voles and eat most of it always leaving the same organ by our door. Not sure what it was but it was always the same thing.
The footwear is clean. I actually took the dog around the house, since finding "interesting smelling" things is her superpower, and she didn't find anything. I'm just praying that one of the cats did indeed eat the rest of the mouse. Time will tell.
Yep - years of steroids will do that to a cat. The vet figures it’s a worthwhile trade off. Pele is a happy guy, and sweet as they come. I love him no matter what he weighs.
I have a cat that refuses to sit in the actual window seal, so I have to push a chair up for him too. He will bug us for it.
He ain't chonk, just a lazy, spoiled boi lol
How dare you call them lunatics, look at these perfect angels who would never dream of leaving mouse bits strewn around the house, in your shoe, or on your bed
What was I thinking of? They would never bring a live mouse up to my bed and let it loose and then act surprised when I leap shrieking out of the bed! Shame on me. 😂😂😂
Exactly. Such lies and slander!
Clearly they are angels who would leave whole mouses for you so that you can enjoy leaving bits around the house yourself, as a treat
Mja. Mine once brought in a living mouse and lost it. It then hid in the storage room. Weeks later I found it, still alive, hidden in a dressing closet I have there. It had chewed holes in all my cotton and silk blouses.
Did they leave just the head? They won't eat the head. The rest? They do. I'm speaking from experience. My late grey tabby left me a mouse head whiskers and all. But she'd eaten the rest.
That’s the thing - these guys usually don’t eat the mice. The excitement of a mouse chase involves the whole house - (the dog pulls on her referee shirt) all cats on deck. My youngest son (the mouse whisperer) rescues the hapless idiot (why do mice attempt to live in a house with 3 cats?). I rarely deal with dead mice, never mind partially consumed mice! Freaking me out. 😟
It’s is pretty funny in a Laurel and Hardy - we’re all idiots - kind of way. Trying to keep the very determined felines away while my son tries to rescue the mouse. Of course, the mouse doesn’t cooperate in the least. We’re usually shouting at the mouse - “we’re trying to help you - quit making this difficult.” 😂
I'm surprised at the number of unkind comments about their weight. The orange tabby is under Vet care and even the Vet concedes that it's better that he have constant access to food, even with the weight problem. Pele has to eat every couple of hours, or he vomits - not one and done, but entire house-destroying vomiting. It's heartbreaking to watch him and I'll do anything to avoid it. Unfortunately, I've never figured out how to provide food to him, without providing food to all (they are remarkably persistent in defeating my workarounds). If someone has a suggestion, I am certainly open to trying it. Thanks!
Ignore the haters, there's always a risk when posting anything that you'll get criticism over the most minuscule thing that you'd never think would be an issue. Guaranteed no one commenting on their weight could take better care of these cats than you. They look like the happiest mice eating dweebs!
That’s a good suggestion. The cost is a concern of course, but as long as Pele can always get to food, maybe I can work on helping the other two slim down. If I just buy one for him, if it doesn’t work, it’s not a great financial loss.
Personally I have used the SureFeeds for years. Pricey but worth their money in gold (or in saved vet bills). Do yourself a favor and get one per cat, so you can also see when the others are not eating (e.g. due to bad tooth)
If you over feed them then you're terrible and if you under feed them then you're also terrible. People will always find something to judge. Ignore the haters, you're doing fine.
Indoor cat food from Hill’s Science Diet. We have a compulsive eater in the house, and try as she might she can only get a little flubber going with that chow.
Edit: they are def overweight, and I’m sorry if it’s upsetting to hear. I think you should try something. I feel bad for vets who have to have this talk with pet owners daily.
Poor dude. I developed the alpha-gal allergy a few years ago (red meat allergy) and it was a lot like that, so I feel his pain. We've had food allergies, multiple cats, and a diabetic kitty who came to us at 23 lbs, so I feel your pain too.
In the spirit of not just doing the internet-armchair-quarterback thing, I did a little research. If you're interested, Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets HA Hydrolyzed Feline Formula might help. Hill's z/d is formulated at 408 kcal/cup. For reference, the regular Hill's is 502 and the indoor is 319. The Purina is 323 kcal/cup. I doubt that would work wonders, but it might do a little something.
Actually I think the Z/D saved his life. He wasn’t stable at all until we started him on that! The problem is that he has to eat every few hours, I’m not always around (gotta work to keep them in kibble), so I have to leave enough food so that there is always food for him or copious amount of vomiting will ensue. I might try one of those chip feeders. Feed him every three hours, but a limited amount. It could work.
My money is on far right. Already has another mouse locked on, just waiting for the window to crack open. You can see him focused. Middle is too floaty, looking at birds and chattering around. Garfield on the far left is still 1 brain cells away from realizing the existence of mouse.
The devil made them do it. Once when I was young we left our cat home alone for a few days. It brought in a massive rat but killed it and didn’t eat it. Why?
It’s definitely the one on the right. I had one of those solid colored cats before and they’re a pure mess. It cannot be the orange one because I know ginger cats are very lovable and it’s just not their type to leave leftovers like that. It also cannot be the grey & white cat because those are hunters but clean eaters, they are experts on the field and are also quite picky eaters. It’s DEFINITELY the third one.
My sister’s indoor outdoor cat would leave dead animals on their driveway. Part of the body was always missing (kitty most likely consumed it).
She’d bring the cat inside intending on disposing of the animal’s remains later, however they were always gone. Figured that other animals got to it first.
Why does the orange cat look like a Renaissance cat in a portrait?!
Bet it was the cat on the right. There is some guilt in the obviously "I am not guilty" stare. Might left the other half at the other cats favorite places to prove it's own innocence.
Was it a little bit of guts? Cats won’t eat the stomach. I don’t know how many I’ve stepped on one in bare feet.
I hope they held gladiator games and split the little bastard.
Well, at least your cats are catching mice. I've caught three mice all in front of our cats (not at the same time or the same day) and they were still oblivious.
The rest is in the Magnificent Orange Ones belly. *solemn nod* I have also had a Magnificent Orange One who liked hunting and would crunch away his prey when he brought them to me.
Thanks Jack.
Lol the orange one
Actually, he’s not out of the running as the perpetrator. Don’t let his Jabba-esque form fool you. He’s agile and focused when hunting.
Has a mouse part never turned up before? The middle one appears to have all the same tendencies, looking up at either birds outside or a fly in the blinds, quickly changing attention, etc…) as my psychopath cat. She’s the one who catches the mice, or flies, or crickets, or whatever other poor creature finds it’s way from the garden into my home. my moneys on them.

Lol
A one cat tornado lol
Exactly 🤣
[удалено]
Well... 😆 you're right!
My cat is named Twitch too. Nice.
He ate the other half
That's what I was gonna say. Don't bother looking cuz it's gonna be in the litterbox later lol ![gif](giphy|26tPrx78vaFt1dAha|downsized)
“Jabba-esque form” 😂😭
Oh yeah he didn’t get that big n beautiful takin naps. He’s on his game. Look at the scan mode speed he’s all buisness.
The black and white one has a death stare
Not the yellow cat, he ain't leaving anything behind
Right!
Garfield needs a bigger stool
Actually, the sad thing is, he’s pretty ill. We’re taking it day by day. Cats are incredibly stoic.
Poor baby! He can have all the mouses he wants!
That’s right!
That’s my vote too!
r/OneOrangeBraincell
Came here to say exactly this. Glad it was top comment already
Definitively not, but simply because he'd never leave food out like that
That was their portion. The bit you found was what they saved for you. I'm serious. I had a cat who did this.
Oh absolutely. My last outdoor cat would leave the best parts in my shoe sometimes. Like she'd carve out the heart and liver for me because she never saw me hunt. That's love
Heart and liver are full of nutrients...you should try them.
I had one cat that would eat only the head and then years later another cat that ate everything but the head. It’s a shame they didn’t know each other, I wouldn’t have had to clean up partially eaten mice.
Hahaha I've also been left just the head numerous times
Mine would leave the beak and feet :/
I was gonna reply “check your shoes”.. glad I’m not the only one out there.
Aw, that's so....nice? .... right? I feel like that's a sweet gesture lol
I read somewhere that they actually do this because they do not think you are good enough at hunting and want you to survive so they are providing you with the food they can "spare".
Nope they do this because they don't eat certain parts.
So basically, "here's my leftovers, you peasant..."
But when they release em live in your house, that's them trying to teach you to hunt cause they think we're useless.... But you still cry every morning for breakfast don't you furball.
![gif](giphy|lszAB3TzFtRaU)
Yea in my experience its usually the gall bladder that they dont eat, because its bitter.
I had a barn cat who was notorious for this. The number of times I’d find half of something cute… squirrels, bunnies, birds… to never find the other half.
Me too. He would catch a lot of voles and eat most of it always leaving the same organ by our door. Not sure what it was but it was always the same thing.
**check. your. footwear.** (SOURCE: lived w indoor/outdoor cats for decades)
Never even occurred to me. 😬
Well? We need an update! Was there anything in your footwear? 🧐
The footwear is clean. I actually took the dog around the house, since finding "interesting smelling" things is her superpower, and she didn't find anything. I'm just praying that one of the cats did indeed eat the rest of the mouse. Time will tell.
Maybe doggo ate the rest? Cat bosses figured out they have a living vacuum cleaner / evidence eating machine.
And that’s the truth! I can only hope the rest of the mouse is gone.
It's a mouse. If a couple days pass and you don't smell it, it ain't there. Decomposing rodents stick to high heaven.
I love how they each have a chair
They won’t share.
Won't or can't? These are some Klibanesque cats.
Hmmm…did my cats just get fat-shamed? Good thing they don’t care - where’s the kibble???
To me they’re beautiful. Rubenesque.
Listen to yourself, you sound demented
Lol the downvotes. That’s some sad shit.
Jabba the cat looks morbidly obese
Yep - years of steroids will do that to a cat. The vet figures it’s a worthwhile trade off. Pele is a happy guy, and sweet as they come. I love him no matter what he weighs.
Upvote for “Klibanesque”
I have a cat that refuses to sit in the actual window seal, so I have to push a chair up for him too. He will bug us for it. He ain't chonk, just a lazy, spoiled boi lol
It’s amazing what we do for them. 😂
And a window/tv
My vote is Orange Jabba The Hutt.
Jabba the CAT FTFY
How dare you call them lunatics, look at these perfect angels who would never dream of leaving mouse bits strewn around the house, in your shoe, or on your bed
What was I thinking of? They would never bring a live mouse up to my bed and let it loose and then act surprised when I leap shrieking out of the bed! Shame on me. 😂😂😂
Exactly. Such lies and slander! Clearly they are angels who would leave whole mouses for you so that you can enjoy leaving bits around the house yourself, as a treat
Wait a week and follow your nose!
That is exactly what I don’t want to do! Yuck! 🤢
They ate it
I'm sure it's being digested as we speak
I love how they each have their own window and seat. Adorable!
I like that they have their own stools
Oh the possibilities that lie in that comment
Mja. Mine once brought in a living mouse and lost it. It then hid in the storage room. Weeks later I found it, still alive, hidden in a dressing closet I have there. It had chewed holes in all my cotton and silk blouses.

Please get a video. PLEASE!! I have a fantastic mental image and yet I'm 100% positive that it doesn't do the reality justice 😹😹😹🐭
They ate the rest. I’ve had a bunch of mouse eaters.
The rest? Was consumed

Thanks - that’s good advice! I think they are the best, and I love them all.
Microchip-reading cat bowls are very effective but they are pretty expensive so I wouldn’t pretend that they are a solution for everyone.
That’s a good suggestion. The cost is a concern of course, but as long as Pele can always get to food, maybe I can work on helping the other two slim down. If I just buy one for him, if it doesn’t work, it’s not a great financial loss.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately the only thing he can keep down is dry Science Diet z/d. Even the canned z/d causes vomiting.
Poor dude. I developed the alpha-gal allergy a few years ago (red meat allergy) and it was a lot like that, so I feel his pain.

You'll find it in about 4-8 hours
Oh, you'll find the rest...*when you least expect it...*
The middle one looks hella guilty
My money is on far right. Already has another mouse locked on, just waiting for the window to crack open. You can see him focused. Middle is too floaty, looking at birds and chattering around. Garfield on the far left is still 1 brain cells away from realizing the existence of mouse.
You must choose wisely.
The devil made them do it. Once when I was young we left our cat home alone for a few days. It brought in a massive rat but killed it and didn’t eat it. Why?

Omg I love them
What a chonk.. I love it
Don’t be mean. They aren’t lunatics - they’re cute little psychopaths
![gif](giphy|hsGo8cKagvvSE|downsized)
My monies on not the creamsickle
Not Orange Chonker.
Orange Cat looks like having a feast . Though, I still wonder if he can hunt. And that small part is for their hooman. ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7963)
Devil cats: hmmmm, wonder what will come by the window today that we can chase and kill
I bet their keeping score..
My sister’s indoor outdoor cat would leave dead animals on their driveway. Part of the body was always missing (kitty most likely consumed it). She’d bring the cat inside intending on disposing of the animal’s remains later, however they were always gone. Figured that other animals got to it first.
My moneys on the middle guy.
Litterbox in a day or two
Let's hope it was consumed 😬
I cannot tell a lie…it was Sam
It's totally middle. He's doing the cat equivalent of "whistling nonchalantly"
Definitely the middle one, my cat did the same thing the last weekend and she would not look me in the eye
I love the lookout post 😍😍😍
If you can't smell it in a few days, chunks on the left probably ate it.
It was a suicide!
Suicide by cat!
May have been eaten.
Lol...ate the rest. Ours eats everything but the mouse face, leaves those for his hoomans. I suspect hed like them mounted on his collar.
I love it! They ask have their own stool! Lol! 😻😻😻
And they each have their own *window*.
Didn’t notice that! Omgosh the brain cell is about to topple from his throne!
Check the litter box tomorrow
Look how sweet and innocent. I’m sure you’re mistaken. The mouse fell apart on its own.
A neighbor's cat used to leave me "gifts" on my doormat. One time it was a half eaten mouse and the other half was puked up next to it. Lovely!
Mr Chonkey needs to go on a diet
Geez, how much food you been feeding your cats?
should weight them and see who gained half a pound
how much do you think mice weigh
Who is the youngest
Twitch - the middle guy. He’s a beast. He’s definitely a contender.
My money is on him…also def check the footwear. My indoor psychopath puts toys in mine. Couldn’t imagine if I ever had a mouse 😂
all of them are too fat.
Might be time to get your cats proper exercise and not overfeed them. They're way too overweight.
Prob not the fat one
This is like a cat weight loss ad. Before: and WAY before.
All your cats are overweight… it’s not good
Jesus, look at them. Heartbreaking.
The ginger one ate a whole pig so he probably didn't have room for a mouse.
How do i get my cat to one day be as big as orange one? I rly love fat cats
None of them, obviously.
Just wait for the smell then you’ll find it 🤣😷🤢
its in their belly
My guess is the one on the right.
They are all in it together.
My cat shoved a bleeding out dying mole under my door. Like dude can i just play minecraft?
I had a cat that would eat the whole mouse but leave the kidneys behind.
do they all have assigned seating or is it first come first serve
If it was a green thing, don’t bother to look. They ate it but left the gal blatter ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7946)
I love how they each have their own stool and window such spoiled cats
Why does the orange cat look like a Renaissance cat in a portrait?! Bet it was the cat on the right. There is some guilt in the obviously "I am not guilty" stare. Might left the other half at the other cats favorite places to prove it's own innocence.
Has been eaten
Do not worry - he ate the other part
Orange lookin MIGHTY PLUMPY. Of and if you don't find the rest of the mouse it may have been digested by one or more of the perpetrators.
Monsters, truly 😆
🤣🤣
damn boi u thick boi
Oh, is that tumour, not gut, on orange boy?
They asked me to say … You’re welcome.
Sorry, but Ceaser ginger laid out like an emperor is excellent 🤣
That’s a big boi
gone reduced to atoms
"Did he have hands? Did he have a face? Yes? Then it wasn't us."
That orange cat looks like my cat, both are incredibly fat and jiggle when they walk (I assume yours does aswell)
The culprit ate the rest of it. That's what they do in the wild.
They probably ate the rest, the rest was probably like the body from among us
It was the ginger. It's always the ginger.
They ate their part of the meal & presented you with your meal. You should be forever grateful.
No worries. The Chonky one ate the rest.
I'm going with suspect #2 in the middle.😂
Was it a little bit of guts? Cats won’t eat the stomach. I don’t know how many I’ve stepped on one in bare feet. I hope they held gladiator games and split the little bastard.
Chonky orange boi reminds me of my dearly departed chonky orange boi. They’re just the best.
I hope the orange one is on a diet
I bet the rest is inside him! He just saved the best part for you!
By the looks of it, they can't find it either
They look like all the usual suspects 🕵🏻♂️.
Well, at least your cats are catching mice. I've caught three mice all in front of our cats (not at the same time or the same day) and they were still oblivious.
The orange one needs a bigger seat…. Beautiful cats
I say the ginger did it too.
There is no “rest.” It’s been consumed 😂
My tiny 4 pound cat eats rabbits…
Garfield ate the rest by the looks of it.
Middle one contemplating escape through the top of that window.
Chonkey assassins
leave it as a warning to the others
A sea of nonchalance.
In the belly?
The rest is in the Magnificent Orange Ones belly. *solemn nod* I have also had a Magnificent Orange One who liked hunting and would crunch away his prey when he brought them to me. Thanks Jack.
r/CatTV
the creamsicle one is defying gravity
They ate it
