I gave suitable words of praise, petted him (a sneaky way to check he didn't have any bites) and then let him lead me to the kitchen for an extra big breakfast.
Yesterday the outside feral cats in the back lane gave me a rat too. You'd think it was my birthday or something, and I am grateful for the kind thoughts, but I'm hoping that's the end of this hunting streak for a while.We haven't had rats in years because our old kitty Scoop was the world's best rat hunter. Even now that he has been gone for over 3 years, the rat population still hasn't recovered. However, we have construction at the end of our road, and I suspect these new marks were flushed out from their homes there.
These poor murine souls come in through a drain pipe, and don't realise they've entered the Death Zone.
I feel a bit sorry for them, but the upside is that it proves that Au is definitely feeling good. He's also smug as can be. Just look at our urban hunter's grin here.
In case you're wondering, Target missed it all as he was having a long lie. And I bet that if Boris knew, he would be kicking himself at missing all this excitement!

Wow Au, what a mighty hunter you are!!! Yes indeed, you're feeling well enough to hunt and that makes all of our whiskers grin up here!
At my relative's home, every food has to be stored in a tough concealer or else the rats will eat them. ewww.
Be careful....Boris might be reading this post and you might get a nice present from him very soon!
I'm so happy Au brought you a present coz it can only mean one thing...okay, two things...he loves you AND he is feeling much better.
Au, wow! We are beyond impressed! But the mom is hoping we never catch a rat...or even see one. MOL!

My goodness, you are popular with the cats to receive two presents in one day! Aren't kitties expert mousers? My two are on kitchen patrol and the little rodents who escape the winter cold come into the house into the kitchen. My Timmy and Sunny kept our house critter-free this Winter.
Have a great day!
I am sure you were very happy with this adorable gift. It's a pity tha, Au forgot to put a gift ribbon around therat's neck !
Wow , what a big rat you caught Au !!!

Glad for the sake of Au's revival as a hunter. And sorry for that rat. That's life, isn't it.
THREE CHEERS for Au! So happy to hear he's back to be on all his four paws in the normal manner. :)
Don't hog all the rats for yourself, Ellen! Remember to share them with Au and Target for breakfast!
Many thanks for your advice about plane travels! We will be on Continental, not Delta.
