Early this morning I noticed my cat Dennis acting in an unusually lively manner, twisting his body madly from side to side and rolling on his back in an odd way. When I went over to have a closer look at him I saw that what was causing his excitement was the body of a young stoat that he'd caught and killed. Stoats, even youngsters, are very fast and very agile whereas Dennis as a ten year old is somewhat more of a lurk in the rhododendrons type of hunter. His usual (daily) prey is voles and mice altho on one celebrated occasion he came home with a rat almost as large as himself. He's a natural killer but also the sweetest natured cat you might wish for.
I daresay most murderers families say the same of them tho
