The best, though, are the toads he finds at night. When he attacks them, they play dead until they actually are dead. This frustrates him to no end, he’ll often worry over a toad corpse for hours. We also suspect they secrete something through their skin, because after a few minutes of toad-attack, he froths at the mouth.

We deduced all of this from forensic clues like feather distribution and blood splash patterns.

Once Sam brought a dead mouse inside in the middle of the night and meowed vigorously to wake us up to praise him. We resisted–but when one of us got up in the middle of the night for a nature call the mouse was discovered–Sam had left the corpse right in front of the toilet. Nothing like stubbing one’s toe on a dead mouse in the dark. Another cute trick was bringing live birds inside. Have you any idea how many feathers a bird has? And they all seemed to fall out during the glorious indoor chase and recapture.
