I just saw a cat catch a chipmunk!
I was just in the laundry room in my building, which has a door with a window overlooking a neighbor's bird feeders. A chipmunk was foraging for seeds under the feeders, and from out of nowhere a Big black and white cat pounced on it and caught it. Poor little chipmunk! :cry:

I saw a chipmunk in my driveway this morning. I was surprised how big he was. at first I thought it was a baby rabbit.

3. I certainly don't miss my cats catching things now that they are all indoor cats.
Neither of them actually killled what they caught. I always managed to rescue the bird or the mice. But I don't miss that part of cat ownership AT ALL!

4. My mom's cat used to catch chipmunks.
They were her favorite prey. But she would eat only the heads.
