In reply to the discussion: Cats Reverse Pavlov's Experiment [View all]ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)15. I managed a youth hostel one summer and befriended a feral cat
She was a very sweet kitty and would come in for pets. One morning she brought a baby bunny to the door to show off. We just complemented her on her hunting skills and left it alone. A couple hours later, I guess she had shown it off enough, because it had disappeared.
My sister had a cat who hunted at night and would bring in all sorts of dead animals: birds and squirrels were his favorite.

If your cat is eating a lot and losing weight, check the thyroid. Common problem among older cats.
