RE: Does your cat hunt - and how do you deal with it?
Ella just got another mouse yesterday. Meanwhile, my two twenty-four year-olds have never caught a mouse or a bird, as far as I am aware. I saw Ella throwing it up in the air and catching it. I thought it was a toy mouse at first, because I've got a few of them around but no, it was a real mouse.
As an unrelated item, I had to bring Ella into the cat emergency room tonight, which is a drive of about 75 miles each way, and a cost of $166. Her right eye was swollen. The vet found no scratches on her cornea, which was the main concern. He couldn't find anything anywhere else but thought she might have gotten a small scratch and then exacerbated it be rubbing it. So, she got some eye ointments at the vet, and another one that I have to give her three times a day. Her eye already looks better so it appears to be working.
