My cat used, in her youth, to bring in a rabbit every morning. She was
in the habit of eating just the head, leaving the beheaded corpse and
the ears as presents for me. She very often used to consume the head
under my bed, and this process made a most unpleasant crunching noise.
She's also brought in on various occasions a hare bigger than herself,
pheasants, a woodcock, a live and undamaged bat, and assorted birds
including pigeons and rooks...

Fortunately in her old age she's getting lazier.

Just as defying the law of gravity through building aircraft requires
careful design and a lot of effort, so too does defying laws of
economics. It seems to be a deeply ingrained aspect of humanity to
forever strive to improve things, so unquestioning acceptance of a
free market system seems to me to be unnatural. ;; Charles Bryant

I've never really liked cats but I had no idea they could be trained
to bring in fresh rabbit, hare, woodcock and pheasant. Now, where's
that casserole dish...
