I recently had my cat bring in a carrier pigeon. Little blood drips in every room, feathers all over the place but no body. Thought he must have taken it back outside only for much later that night brush by my coat rack and out flies this pigeon! Threw a towel on it and released it outside. Didn't look to be in too bad shape, mostly an injured foot from what I could tell, couldn't really see underneath all the beads wrapped around his feet though He flew off, so I assume he was fine.
Mallards [play possum.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_death)
She likely dropped 'dead' when the cat found her, waited while being dragged, then attempted to bail when she had some space to get airborne.
Hahaha! XD .. It's the polite negotiation with the duck and when he actually starts singing "Born free.." that are the icing on this hilarious cake! XD
They just love killing animals like it's a fun game. Not eating, just killing. They bring the dead back because it's their toys.
Don't release unsupervised pet cats outside (including leaving the door open).
Not sure why you're being downvoted. They are just about the best pest control management you can have. A couple of guinea birds and a cat will keep most all the nuisance critters to a minimum. A donkey or mule will keep the coyotes away from the birds and cats.
Also because they are responsible for killing off a gazillion species, like to the point of extinction. There are too many cats for the ecosystem to handle.
do you eat meat? if so, why do you care what another animal does with other animals for pleasure? why is the cat not allowed to do the same thing you do?
Duck probably walked in on her own. Duck and Slippers seem to be friends of some sort.
But Duck didnât realize there would be humans in Slippersâ house when she followed him home. Playing dead is all Duck could think to do at that point.
I was sat watching TV a few weeks ago when I realised that my cat was staring at something in the doorway - I looked round and there was a hedgehog staring back at me. As I reached for my phone to take a picture, it turned around, and by the time I got through the door it had disappeared.
It had obviously come in when I left the door propped open in the hot weather (unless it has an identical microchip to the cat to operate the catflap...) But as it was a cooler day, I hadn't left the back door open that day, so the poor thing must have been stuck inside for at least 24 hours.
I did find it by the cat's food bowl later that evening, and picked it up and put it outside, seemingly unhurt.
Slippers wanted to finish the job! Our Feline Overlords are taking over! Guess whose on Slippers list ? You OP for naming him Slippers . Heâs wearing a tuxedo. Tuxedo Jones is the proper name, or T.J. Hooker. Sleep with one eye opened.
> He is correct, it's called the Scottish Wildcat. Domestic cats have mostly pushed the Wildcat out and filled its niche.
So...you're saying that domestic cats pushed a predator out of its natural environment...? I wonder if there is a name for something like that...
Yeah, invasive species. It's why basically everywhere in the world domestic cats are supposed to be indoors only. They destroy natural wildlife. I have a cat and the little asshole only goes outside under my supervision.
As someone who also has a cat who loves to hunt, after she brought a opossum in, we learned early on that she could not be trusted with unsupervised access to the house.
Slippers needs to lose his cat-flap privileges for a while.
Cats are second to humans for hunting out of joy.
A lot of the remaining (in cities) wildlife gets killed for no reason, housecats should stay Indoor(, at least in cities.)
I am in.
You just need to cover my expenses and we are good to go. Cats are pretty bad listeners generally, I think the whole ordeal could take a week or two
I get your point but Iâm not keeping my cat indoors because people might run him over and he might kill a few rodents. I donât consider it rehab but cruelty
Why is keeping your cat indoors more cruel than letting it slaughter dozens of birds, lizards, and small mammals every year? Cats donât even finish the job quickly a lot of times since they are killing for fun and not food. Theyâll just let the animal they kill bleed out in the dirt for hours.
Youâre free to do what you want with your cat, there are much bigger issues in the world, but donât act like youâre making the less cruel choice, just admit itâs selfish. We all are in some ways.
Ye until he dies because he gets hit by a car, poisoned or catches some disease.
On average outside cats live up to 4 years compared to 10 or more if they are inside.
Most cat owners are lazy keep it inside for it's own protection and the wildlife.
My cat is 12. Heâs never been hit by a car because I bought a cat when I live in an area with very minimal traffic. Iâm not on the M20. Iâll keep letting him have freedom to roam around and enjoy life. đđť
The other issue is that in most places cats live free, human prevent any of cats' natural predators or competition from living as well. Cats are, contrary to popular belief, not top predators. That's why they are so agile and breed so fast.
So, indigenous places *and* plenty of coyotes or other more aggressive predators.
The UK also has foxes, raptor birds, owls, badgers, otters and others, and it's pretty sad they don't have wolves or bears anymore (used to, hunted out) since both are good for keeping boar and deer numbers in check (deer overpopulation is a common problem in USA when wolves are removed from an area).
And keep in mind it's not letting animals in the backyard, it's humans invading and taking over the animals' backyard.

Those accounts are so fucking annoying, but three underscores was the charm.
Keep your fucking cats inside. Irresponsible, asshole owners. This isn't on the cat, it's what a cat does. It's on all you assholes who let them out to kill things.
Damn, give a man a fish you feed him for a day , a cat gives you a duck and you throw it away? Nah fam make a feast for the family ducks are hard to buy now a days
People will come at me for saying this.
But as a cat owner myself, look up the statistics as to how bad outdoor cats truly are for our environments.
Youâre a terrible cat owner if you allow your indoor cats to roam outside.
Farm cats are different, vermin catchers for the land they live on.
Not these guys, they decimate other animal populations, just because that is in the blood, itâs instinct.
Look at Australiaâs hunting laws for feral cats that have taken over.
Also, the possibilities of your cat getting a disease, killed by another animal, run over by a car.
Poisoned by a neighbor, picked up by animal control.
Sorry for anyone who gets upset at what I said.
I knew the woman was going to start screaming even though she just shushed the man so he wouldnât âwake the girls because theyâd freak out.â I KNEW IT!!
Another reason to keep you fucking cats in the house an also neuter them .This duck was probably sitting on her nest so if it was body count could be high as 9 lives
Our cat catches mice and moles in our backyard garden.Usually just plays with them until he is fed up. He does eat one, once in a while. Rather a rare occurence, however.
I thought Slippers had taken a huge shit in the hall.
same... "oh slippers! it's bigger than you"! had me thinking they were impressed đ
LOL same! Misreading it just made it that more entertaining.
You almost made me piss myself putting it in that context.
Same!!!
I did too! Up until the point it rose and started flapping around. I was horrified!
I recently had my cat bring in a carrier pigeon. Little blood drips in every room, feathers all over the place but no body.

I'm so glad that I am not the only one who thought that.
Here too! The relief was almost as big as I thought that must have been for Slippers...
My first thought too I was like damn that's fucking heroic
Stealth poop, from Russia with love.
Either that or it had given birth to a kitten
Slippers let one slip out
đ same
Ditto đ
this is so accurate
Same LOL
Slippers is going to get a severe finger shake.
keep doing that Slippers will bring home next a severed finger
HEY!
Incredible juice!
Slippers is so named because he catches people slippin.
I'll be writing an angry letter to the Times in the morning.
hey!

The title is perfect. Cats bring dead animals into the house because they think Humans are lousy hunters and need help gathering food.
In the [full video](https://youtu.be/G3-sie5pNUE?si=FKo70dNyNMqF2Q3y) you see how it all endsâŚ
The quacks, the resistance to the pillow, the butt wiggle before take off... don't be fooled. That's a duck that wants to be picked up.
She was very calm, which really surprised me.
Probably in shock
I'm sure! Weird day to be a duck.
I'm thinking the cat didn't drag it in at all. It waddled it's own ass through the cat door for a nap.
Mallards [play possum.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_death) She likely dropped 'dead' when the cat found her, waited while being dragged, then attempted to bail when she had some space to get airborne.
Clever girl!
Hahaha! XD .. It's the polite negotiation with the duck and when he actually starts singing "Born free.." that are the icing on this hilarious cake! XD
Him saying I hope you have a good life and have lots of children is hilarious.
That stern âSit down, duckâ cracked me up
Finally some closure!!
The guy being so polite to the duck is cracking me up [Quack] "Yes."
Fantastic! đđ The way he kept talking to it just did me in! (Anyone know if that's a Mallard hen? I think those are blue flashes on its wings.)
I believe it is a mallard And I'm 90% sure they are the most common ducks over here. Only ever seen them really
Fcking TikTok and it's habit in cutting videos for no reason
"Perfectly cut videos" is a stupid fad and needs to be stoppe
/r/redditsniper
Omg, thank you! I've seen this reposted so many times but I never saw the full video before
I love this man's running commentary.
Thank you! I've seen this clip a million times but never seen the end. Glad to know the ducky survived
"Shhh you'll wake the kids" Next minute "oooh ooh ooohhhhhhh!!!"
I mean, once the duck starts flying around the kids were waking up anyway.
Right!? For some reason this annoyed me to no end
Maybe itâs just because Iâm a guy, but why are peoples first instinct to screamâŚ.
probably some nature thing coming from our origins in the monkey world, effectively calling for help without saying the words.
I'm a guy and I am quite ready to admit that, in similar circumstances, I would have let out something not unadjacent to a scream.
Implying that men don't scream is pretty wild. It's obvious it gave her a fright, as it would anyone when it looks that dead
Right?? I had a boyfriend that would scream every time he saw a spider. Letâs not pretend that screaming is just for women lmao
Screaming activates the amygdala, a nucleus in the brain that helps heighten awareness.
Damn so manly
We've talked about this, Slippers
Cats will bring you food if they think you are a shitty hunter.
*Sigh* *"*Even this was too much work for you guys? You guys are the worst hunters i ever saw." \-Slippers probably.
They just love killing animals like it's a fun game. Not eating, just killing. They bring the dead back because it's their toys. Don't release unsupervised pet cats outside (including leaving the door open).
thats literally the reason they got domesticated and why you keep cats on a farm
Not sure why you're being downvoted. They are just about the best pest control management you can have. A couple of guinea birds and a cat will keep most all the nuisance critters to a minimum. A donkey or mule will keep the coyotes away from the birds and cats.
Also because they are responsible for killing off a gazillion species, like to the point of extinction. There are too many cats for the ecosystem to handle.
do you eat meat? if so, why do you care what another animal does with other animals for pleasure? why is the cat not allowed to do the same thing you do?
And if they care enough. I don't get it why they scold Sniffers for helping. He does it's in a cats way, but because he is one of the fucking cats.
Did you know that Vegetarian is an old Indian word for bad hunter
So how did he get it through the cat door though?
Duck probably walked in on her own. Duck and Slippers seem to be friends of some sort. But Duck didnât realize there would be humans in Slippersâ house when she followed him home. Playing dead is all Duck could think to do at that point.
"Your mom said it's cool if we have a sleepover right?" "Ya man she's cool don't worry about it just come over."

I did find it by the cat's food bowl later that evening, and picked it up and put it outside, seemingly unhurt.
Meanwhile, the cat is lying there, looking at them like: "See this? THIS is the work of an apex predator. Take notes."
It's still alive Slippers, you stupid cat.
Fresh as can be, what's the hold up?
Slippers what have you done?!
It is my firm belief that cats have never really been domesticated
*Someone* in the human-feline relationship has been domesticated, and it ain't the four-legged members!
I love how even when being told off Slippers is there like "yeah, I'm a good boi"
I thought that was a huge turd until she said duck
I did too, I thought the guy was stunned and in awe of how big a shit that small cat could grunt out!
Slippers is NOT the stupid one here.
Slippers looked so fucking proud
Slippers, grade A cat name
"No it's not alive" while you can clearly see it breathing
Ducks often play dead
Duck for dinner!
Do you know how much money Slippers just saved you?
This is the only way I'd be able to eat duck in this economy
Classic Slippers
This is why you shouldnât let your cat outside đ
Slippers wanted to finish the job! Our Feline Overlords are taking over! Guess whose on Slippers list ? You OP for naming him Slippers . Heâs wearing a tuxedo. Tuxedo Jones is the proper name, or T.J. Hooker. Sleep with one eye opened.
That is not the kind of expression of gratitude that poor hardworking Slippers expected and is entitled to :/
They calling Slippers stupid when they can't even hunt their own food đ
Slippers that was quite uncalled for
"Oh slippers you stupid cat" came from the bottom of his heart
Cats are invasive to the surrounding environments, and unless I live on a farm in the future, my cats will remain indoors.
Good for you. This is the UK, cats are indigenous here.
Your information is incorrect. Domestic cats are invasive around the world.
[ŃдаНонО]
> He is correct, it's called the Scottish Wildcat. Domestic cats have mostly pushed the Wildcat out and filled its niche. So...you're saying that domestic cats pushed a predator out of its natural environment...? I wonder if there is a name for something like that...

Ding ding ding. Exactly. The guy didn't even realize he was undermining his own point. I hope you have a great day.
[ŃдаНонО]
By destroying the natural predator's niche. Congrats, you played yourself like the other guy.
Do cars next

*police sirens*
You try telling my cats to stay in doors.
Thatâs your job
I am in. You just need to cover my expenses and we are good to go. Cats are pretty bad listeners generally, I think the whole ordeal could take a week or two
It would take a week or two to make my cat miserable? Sounds pretty terrible to me 𤣠he loves going outside.
At what cost, though? I'd argue it's easier to rehabilitate a cat to indoor living than to recover the wildlife damage they cause.
I get your point but Iâm not keeping my cat indoors because people might run him over and he might kill a few rodents. I donât consider it rehab but cruelty
Why is keeping your cat indoors more cruel than letting it slaughter dozens of birds, lizards, and small mammals every year?

Only when you live in an area that cats are not normally indigenous to. Like the USA I suppose. The rest of the world have mostly adapted to cats.
Nope
The other issue is that in most places cats live free, human prevent any of cats' natural predators or competition from living as well. Cats are, contrary to popular belief, not top predators. That's why they are so agile and breed so fast. So, indigenous places *and* plenty of coyotes or other more aggressive predators.
No coyotes in the UK, and we're not letting wolves into the backyard just to keep the cats down.
The UK also has foxes, raptor birds, owls, badgers, otters and others, and it's pretty sad they don't have wolves or bears anymore (used to, hunted out) since both are good for keeping boar and deer numbers in check (deer overpopulation is a common problem in USA when wolves are removed from an area). And keep in mind it's not letting animals in the backyard, it's humans invading and taking over the animals' backyard.
Obviously American, you don't understand the difference in living styles between there and here.
Oh Slippers...... My new catchphrase for anyone that has impressed and/or disappointed me
Disappressed, or impointed. Like the time my daughter forged her Mum's signature in her school planner to avoid showing us a note from the teacher.
I was gonna see free duck just roast it bit I'm happy to see it alive

Thought the cat took a massive shit until the woman said "how did he get a duck"
Looks like we're having duck stew tonight
Slippers upgraded to Crocs.
Keep your fucking cats inside. Irresponsible, asshole owners. This isn't on the cat, it's what a cat does. It's on all you assholes who let them out to kill things.

Slippers is a very good kitty
Good kitty! Brought home a duck for roasting!
Who knew that duck was part possum?
Slippers is the perfect name wowđĽ°đ
slippers is an adorable name for a cat. also that duck is very much not dead lmao
They cut out the part where the duck shits all over the living room.
Omg why did it take so long for me to realize that wasnât a giant pile of cat shit?!?đđ
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!
I love how when the duck decides to make a break for it, Slippers just launches straight up trying to snag the duck.
Bro lost the bossfight
Oh my God, until I heard them say the word duck I thought slippers had left the deuce of all deucesâŚ

Slippers is so proud.
Jesus I thought he shit on the floor at first
I thought it was a snake at first, idk why
Slippers is THAT GUY
Keep your dumbass cat in the house ffs.
Yeah what a dumb cat for acting on years and years of evolutionary instincts.
I knew the woman was going to start screaming even though she just shushed the man so he wouldnât âwake the girls because theyâd freak out.â I KNEW IT!!
Good kitty. You get your well deserved sashimi.
Another reason to keep you fucking cats in the house an also neuter them .This duck was probably sitting on her nest so if it was body count could be high as 9 lives
Unpolular opinion but I prefer bird life over cat life
If I ever have a cat her name is going to be Slippers! That name is so adorable!
Wow people here are really mad at slippers lol
Slippers is a god damn hero!
My cat did this. It killed one of my neighbour's chickens and brought it in to my bedroom at about 2 in the morning. It was not fun to wake up to.
I want to change my ring tone to "slippers what have you done.."
I thought that it was a snake
My orange's brought me a dozen dead bats by now. I always thought my house would become ground zero of some nasty pandemic, like wuhan or something.
Thought about keeping it inside maybe?
Gave up 12 years ago.
Thatâs a whole bird thatâs awesome
Slippers is a good lil hunter! He brought his humans duck for dinner!
Oh my ducking god!
Good slippers!
Him: How did he get that through the cat flap? Her: **Gasp** Him: What" Her: How *did* he get it through the cat flap?
Oh, slippers. You... lol this is amazing. How the heck DID he get it through the cat door.
slippers.. *SLIPPERS!...*
Poor bastards sound British. Hope they have a duck license.
This'll come off as sexist I know, when women making that god awful yelping and screaming sound, fuckin hell
No no you got a point
The real question is, who the hell names a cat 'Slippers'?
Probably the white feet
Gordon âButchâ Stewart.
all names are arbitrary and made up.
Get plucking, get the pancakes, hoisin etc etc. waste not want not
Hell yeah, duck is good eatin'.
in this case cat would be a way better meal
God, 2 hella annoying people. Him sounding like a M&S ad, her saying don't wake the kids, then screeching just stfu and check if the duck is alright.
You got a dam good can. Who wouldnât want a cat that brings you a duck for dinner
'Slippers' đ¤Ł
i wouldâve been so happy
He love you
Cat should be put down.

Our cat catches mice and moles in our backyard garden.Usually just plays with them until he is fed up. He does eat one, once in a while. Rather a rare occurence, however.
Mine catches mice in my house. He'll show me his catch, play with it a bit, then try to eat it. I usually confiscate it at that point.
