Cats eating rats and mice!

I wonder what mouse pate would taste like?

So my wife and I got a new cat. 

She's a lovely stray and we call her Venus. Yes, Venus rythmes with Doremius. 

Venus was a stray from the SPCA and appeared to be a very nervous cat. However on her second night of staying with us she decided she loved us and chose to demonstrate that love by placing a mouse at the foot of the bed. 

We think she's a keeper and for her mouse catching prowess, this page of cats eating rats and mice is dedicated to her.

Mouse go crunch!

Could I get some sauce for this mouse please?

Sometimes it doesn't work out well for the cat 

Cats are often known to play with their food

Even ginger cats get to eat rats

Amazing pictures of Venus Fly Trap plants eating all kinds of animals including a frog!

It's a Trap!

Awesome photos of Venus Fly Trap plants eating flies and spiders...

Venus Fly Traps were one of the most fascinating things I ever saw as a child.

We had one in the kitchen and my Dad showed me how to taunt them by poking them with a pencil to get them to close shut.

He once pretended to get his finger eaten by one too which totally terrified me. The joke was on him though as later that day there was a terrible chainsaw accident which we don't really talk about.

So for those not in the loop, the Venus Fly Trap (also Venus's Flytrap or Venus' Flytrap) is a carnivorous plant that catches and digests animal prey.

Their diet usually consist of insects and spiders.

And a note, yes, plants are not animals, I know......

Caught in a Trap

As I'm sure Admiral Akbar would point out, the Venus' trapping structure is formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces.

When an insect, worm or spider walking along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap will close if a different individual hair is contacted generally within twenty seconds of the first strike.

This is a kind of fail safe mechanism to preserve the Venus Trap's energy by preventing it from catching items with no nutritional value.

Any way's you came here for the action shots of Venus Fly Traps eating their prey like worms and flies so here you go:

 Here's a treat for every hungry Venus Trap, a frog! How the hell the plant was strong enough to keep this jumping fellow, I don't know but I think it's a pretty impressive effort!

Frog's Legs on the Menu tonight!

I bet this grasshopper totally regrets jumping around willy nilly now!

A cat leaves a half eaten rat with its babies still unborn

Cats. Evil little monsters or handy units for getting rid of the local rat population? I think it's an irrelevant question - just look at this picture as found on Reddit.- While I think the picture is a bit staged, it's pretty clear a cat decided to eat a pregnant rat and got more than they bargained for... Merry Christmas, lil ra babies, merry christmas.

Pictures of Foxes eating rabbits and mice

The Fox eats what he wants

Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Cunning as a fox.

Fox News.

Fox Hunting.

She's a fox.

Foxing.

These are just some of the ways us humans use the word fox.

What does this have to do with images of a fox eating a rabbit?

Not much really, it just seemed like a good intro.

I was thinking I could throw in some kind of Wayne's World reference to Wayne's love interest Cassandra but couldn't figure it out. Instead, you get some mindless drivel about movie babes.

But hey, let's get to the task at hand and show you some pictures of foxes eating some victims. The first picture above was indeed of a fox eating a rabbit. I understand its name was Peter Rabbit, so please don't show your children this picture.

Next up is a fox chewing on a dear bone.

I'm not sure what the context is as I simply found this picture on google - I presume the fox did not take down the dear themselves but probably got to as by way of it being another predator's left overs...

Below is a picture of a fox eating a murre bird. WTF is a murre bird you ask? Found on the High Artcic, foxes find these birds a tasty treat.

Feathers and all.

Yuck!

Fox eating a Murre

Rats! said the caught rat.

Double Trouble - a fox eats two mice at once!

Of course sometimes even the most foxiest of foxes can have the tables turned on them. In the image below, the fox is no match for the brutal aerial assault by this eagle. Look at the fox's expression, he simply has no idea what hit him.

Was it a train?

Superman?

Bellatron?

A giant traction city?

What's wrong with your eyeball Mr Fox?

Update: here's a story of a fox attacking a 67 year old in his own backyard!

A Brave Rat steals a Leopard's Dinner!

Check out this cheeky little Rat! Stealing a Leopard's dinner from right under her nose!

I dunno, maybe the Sheena the Leopard was sizing up how good the rat would be to eat instead? How about a lick to taste?

Na, it's okay Ratty, I'll share...

These pictures of Sheena the Leopard* as taken at the Santago Rare Leopard Project, Hertfordshire in the UK as part of a project by student Casey Gutteridge.

* I thought Sheena was a Punk Rocker?
