If you let go of the controller during the Catwomen game and wait a while, you get to see a very weird video of Halle Berry licking herself.

Indeed - whilst they may be natural born killers, the mother cat still needs to teach them things.
There is a nice big section on it in my cat encylopedia, if you want me to type it out for you.

Please do. Our cat was brought to us because it was found on the side of a river, it had been abandoned by its mother. Still, 1.5 years on and its catching these huge rat-like things.

It has less about hunting than I thought, but it does slightly mention it.

Dogs are okay - cats are better though.

Its a pretty good book, by the way. Doesn't quite go into enough detail in some places, but there you go.

Hey! I have a similar book, but its about birds. Its the same format and everything. Anyway, what does that say, that "between two and.."?
Because if that says months then that proves my point, because when we found our cat, it was only about a month old. Thats very nice that the mother teaches them to hunt, but its not always necessary, as proved by one of our cats.

Mouse must have felt very uncomfortable posting in this thread.

My cat only attacks things that move, and aren't 10 times her size.

My other cat would play with the mice until they were bleeding through their face, and their legs off and such.

I know violins contained cat skin, but I think guitar strings are too streched to be made of skin/fur. Then again, I don't play the guitar so I wouldn't know.

I caught one of our cats eating a bird last night. I heard this crunching sound, and I looked down, and there was sweep eating a small bird. When I got to it, only its tail was left

They were spared, considering they were parental units. I doubt they'll be given a second chance though.

Well I'm not doing coke on the forum (or ever) so that doesn't matter

Also, what if an evil possessed mod mods it, can you be responsable for that too? (not that that would happen, the mods are well picked here )
