Saw her pounce it and she was proudly parading around with it until I yelled for someone to get it away from her, at which point she took one big gulp and it disappeared. It was pretty good sized- I have a bad feeling it is going to make a disgusting reappearance on the carpet.

Guess she proved who wins that game of "keep away." Yuck.

Ahaha, this almost happened with a dead rat Snoopy found. I managed to get it away from him before he swallowed it, which was great because it was dead from the rat poison dad puts in the shed

Well hopefully she will barf it up...or it will pass without incident. We already had a $700 stay in the ICU when the little stinker found rat poison we didn't even know EXISTED! Darn huskies and their need to put everything in their mouth!

Kiba found a road kill mouse once that I had to pry from her mouth....talk about gross!!!!!

Blech! That had to be fun!

That's gonna hurt coming out!

Aack! All these stories are enough to make ME puke anyway. Vixen seems to have aN iron gut as well, she is forever getting into the cat scraps, eating pencil and plastic and chewing on dead things she finds. But this is the first time I saw her swallow a LIVE animal whole...did I not mention it was still wriggling? Eeeeewwwww..... she was pretty pleased with herself too. I know she knew EXACTLY what was going on when I yelled "somebody take that from her!" Little Brat.

My cat loves catching us moles, and Darwin of course loves picking them up. He hasn't eaten one that I'm aware of, he's gotten pretty good at the leave it/drop it command with the moles. Though with the amount Jim my cat brings us, I wouldn't be surprised if he's eaten one or two beore.

Michelle, I didn't realize the shrew was still alive! EEEKKK! Poor little guy getting eaten alive. What a horrible way to go. I would wonder if it was trying to scratch on it's way down. I'm sure she had a really smug look on her face too with getting to keep the shrew

Sorry.

wow when i first read the topic yesterday i read shrew as screw just realized it said shrew this morning

Ziva kept finding field mice during September/October time frame...ate a few of them too despite our efforts to get them out of her mouth. Fortunately we didn't have any issues because of it. Just found pieces of them over the next couple days when cleaning up after her.

When I was younger our German Shepperd found a bunny. Next thing we know she comes running to the back pouch with its head dandling from its body and white fur all over the yard. We never found the insides.. so she must have eaten them. She was fine from it too.

Now the VHS tape did a number on her. But that's a whole other story.

Next time you can try give her peroxide to get her to puke it back up. I do one tablespoon for ADULTS over 45lbs and it works everytime, just not rightaway....
