Out and about: Kat the mighty hunter

Kat the mighty hunter with a rabbit

Lois Vance was nice enough to share this unusual photograph of her cat 'Kat' with a rabbit, taken at her home south of Pincher Creek.  Kat is 17 years old and is most definitely a mighty hunter.  In the last week he's brought home 4 rabbits and a partridge.  He's also brought home weasels, a prairie chicken, and one time he and a hawk were after the same mouse but neither of them got it.

"Sometimes he brings me a live one and drops it on the kitchen floor, then you have to go find it," said Vance.  She said Kat does indeed eat his prey, so it's not just a hobby.
