Just Murdering Bugs on a Lazy Day

Here is Doodles, the cat. Doodles loves to go outside to "hunt" five times a day. Unfortunately for Doodles, he rarely catches anything other than an occasional mole. Doodles, the cat, is not a very good hunter. He gackles under shrubs and whips his tail which frighten the birds away. He chases squirrels, but backs off if he gets too close. He peeps in the rock wall and drainpipes alerting the chipmunks that he is there. I'm glad Doodles is not a good hunter. But I'm very happy he murders those annoying gnats on a lazy day.

This is a great photo. At least Doodles likes to pretend he's a great hunter.

Thank you! He used to be a fairly good hunter before he needed leg surgery. It slowed him down a lot.

Maybe if he had a more fiercesome name he'd be a more fiercesome hunter? Why "Doodles"?

Lol! My son named him. He used to be more fierce before he had an accident on his back legs and needed surgery.

It does look that way! lol The white is also around his fat belly. When he sits, it looks as if he is wearing a tuxedo. He's very sophisticated.

The claws look like a deadly weapon. My cat Chucky is a good hunter. She likes to hunt rodents, the neighbor's chicken and birds. Its like from a horror movie. Doodles is so cute. Does he likes cuddles?

He does have extra long teeth and claws, and ouch! They hurt. I love your cat's name. I don't think your neighbors are too happy, although Chucky must be so proud. Doodles likes to be pet and carried around, but won't cuddle. I wish he would.

@diosabella I remember that movie! It was so creepy. Yes, his claws are huge and scary, but he tries to be nice with me.
4 May 17
@DianneN Actually, I didn't named her. My sister's husband did. He said that the neighbor will be scared when ever I'll call her because Chucky is a murdering doll from the movie. Maybe that's why shes butchering her kill too. Doodle could be the perfect pillow for cuddles . But the claws are scary.

Growing up I had a Norwegian Elkhound. Oh my gosh - he sure kept his hunting instincts. He could literally catch anything . . . he would keep at it and never give up (this is why the pigeon we had simply never came back one day . . . I am sure she couldn't take it anymore). I remember my sister and I saw this really cool looking moth one day . . . huge and furry looking with eyes like an owl. Well, my dog saw it too . . . he caught it . . . and ate it .

@allknowing His claws are abnormally long. He tends to knead my arms when I carry him. So far since I've been home, I've only gotten one bloody puncture wound through a long sleeved heavy bathrobe. But the year is young!
