I stepped outside today and smelled the most awful stench.  It was my cat and my dog was eating her face.  She had maggots coming out of both ends.  

I think the dog killed her.  I know he dragged her up to the porch today because she wasn't there this morning and she's been dead for several days.  I'm pretty sure the dog did it in the first place.

Wow! That's awful. I'm really sorry to hear it. Seriously, its terrible. Was your dog aggressive towards the cat in the past?

Wow. Opposite situation of mine. My cat abuses my dog. The thing is pure evil.

Sort of.  He's not mean, but he plays rough.  Truth be told, I can do no more than suspect it, where I live it could be anything from a coon to a copperhead that did it.

Yeah, my big cat is like that.  He doesn't generally pick on the dogs, but he has let them know on an occasion or two that he can play rough, too.  Mice, however, are a different story.  I've watched him rip a mouse's liver out and the force the mouse to watch him eat it before finishing the mouse off.

D:  That sucks, dude, I'm sorry!

The neighbor's dog killed my cat once she got too old to run away...


By the way, please change the title of this thread to something less misleading.

Sorry to read about your cat. And I agree with the underlined.

Holy Shit!

Sucks, sorry for your lose.

Like what?  It already says not to read it.

Hey thanks for the support everyone.  I'll get over it pretty quickly, my cats aren't pets, they're pest control, but she was still a sweetie and I will miss her.

Losing pets sucks.

Requesting title change also

Poop, do you have concern that this dog might destroy your other cats, or was there something about this cat that made it's face especially edible?  Btw, I like the title of the thread. My first response to reading it was "Poopshoot, you nasty SOB, you made my stomach turn".  To which you can rightly retort: "Hey, I told you not to read it."

Well, I've never tasted the cat in question, but the dog does like to play rough.  If he kills my last kitten I will shoot him and then probably barbecue him.  Anyway, this is what she looked like:

Ironically, I HAVE tasted the mean one, but he's not particularly delicious:

And the only kitten I have left is the orange one (the yellow one above is still alive, but he's grown now):

Yeah, that's what I told tank.  

Blast it with piss?

So I talked to my buddy who saw the cat on Friday, meaning it was probably a snake bite.

My sympathy for your lost pet.

I resist liking cats, they don't belong on this continent and they kill too many things that do.
I also have reservations about keeping an animal you have to feed with other animals, whether they're are canned or not.
One daughter likes rabbits, they don't belong here either but I like our rabbit.
We have a dog because my daughter wanted one so much, I would rather we didn't, I'd rather the wallabies be left to eat the grass in peace.
There has been a few dead animals appear in the front yard, a few rats, a pet rabbit and a bandicoot.
I didn't even know we had this kind of bandicoot here, I would have liked to have met him under better circumstances.
I blame the dog, but I'm not certain.
New houses in my area now aren't allowed to have dogs as a koala preservation measure.

Me too, but I need the rodent control to keep from being overrun with rats.  With 30+ acres of soy behind me and cows next door, rats become a first-rate problem.

I found a copperhead's shed skin today.  I think he lives in my dead corn.

I once found a 2 litre juice bottle in the shed, it was half full on dead mice in various stages of decomposition.
I have a found snake snake skin in the roof, and a whole snake between two pavers I was carrying.

I'm jealous.

QuoteI have a found snake snake skin in the roof, and a whole snake between two pavers I was carrying.

What kind of snake?  I wouldn't be worried about it if not for the fact I have to do something about the corn and I don't want to be bitten or get my kids bitten.

Yes, I should try to recreate this, you have to position the bottle upright, and enable access by the mice, some peanut butter might help.

I don't know about the skin, the one in the pavers was a red belly black snake, too small to be dangerous.
Black snakes, green tree snakes and pythons are common here.  
Of those only the blacks are venomous, but timid.
Tiger snakes have been found nearby and browns inland a bit, but I'd rather not think of them.
How old are the kids?
You do have to learn to look where you're going, most people only get bitten after treading on the snake.

The kids are old enough to know better, but young enough to think htey can manage to catch him anyway.

If I go into a bushy area I wear boots and wear long pants, kind of puffed out.
Snake bites may not make the news because people don't often die, but they can be very sick for a long time.
