My fatto catto has somehow learned to catch chipmunks but i am unsure if he cant (because he is mostly toothless) kill them or wont. He will bring them to me to show his prowess just.... Jammed in his jaws until i praise him and give him a treat to drop the lil guy who quits playing dead and scampers off. Three chipmunk messiahs have been ressurrected thusly.
Funnily enough this has not caused the chipmunks to respect him. A younger chipmunk came up while my killer was recharging in the sun and pulled his butt hair and once he had his attention, scampered off to his safe space on the fence to chirp. I dunno if it's the same guy but when my cat is inside there's one little dude who will come by my door to looking for him. Shits like Tom and Jerry out here
My parent's cat would do the same thing. They hated it because they had to get the messiah chipmunks out of the house.
Our family's first cat brought in a crow. I can't remember how we got the crow out of the house lol
