There are some keychain-sized digital cameras, but I don't know how you'd get them to take photos at the right times. Wal-Mart (if you are willing to shop there) was carrying them late last summer and in the early fall. There are surveillance motion-activated cameras that must be very, very small. Why don't you check them out to see if they'd work. 8/4/2007, 4:40 p.m. PDT. There are some keychain-sized digital cameras, but I don’t know how you’d get them to take photos at the right times.

Through out the day we will hide all of his favorite mousies then after we have gone to bed for the night the fun starts. He goes around the house hunting.Searching in every nook and cranny. Everyone in the house knows when he's nabbed one. He's so proud of himself! We have 4 other kittehs and they get in on the fun sometimes too. We too have a toy basket that has a bunch of toys. Alot of the toys are from their Christmas stocking and there is a Santa hat in there too. (That should have been pack away but it ended up in there somehow) To make a long story short, We woke up one morning to find all of the Christmas toys and the Santa Hat on the rug in the foyer. It was like they were having a Xmas Party in July! My 12 yr old kitteh, Yankee does his rounds every night.

She got a treat and the wildlife was returned to the great outdoors. Lincoln, an indoor-only 5 yr old Maine, carries on the tradition. He has a toy box on a high shelf in my closet filled with Cat's Claw and da Bird feathers. He brings one with loud vocal announcement when he is pleased with his AM or PM moist food. Since 3/16, I've tried new wet foods - including home cooking. It's easy to tell which food he does or does not like! Feather or no feather.

I wish they would rethink this. The cat is exposed to traffic, being hurt by another animal or catching a disease....or being a target for the sickos of the world.

Most of them were alive. One day I reached into my basket of scarves and noticed what looked like a belt. Upon further inspection, I noticed a few garter snakes that looked like brown belts. Took the whole basket outside (after screaming loudly). Stepped on a dead mouse with a naked foot, also. Ugh!.

I would "rescue" the mice of course after making a pretense of eating them! Then we moved and there were no more mice. But one day he came home from his daily one hour in the backtard bringing a kitten! That kitten is now my cat's apprentice cat. I must confess to a little jealousy over that cat who brings home beautiful blooms for his humans! My master cat used to bring home live little mice as presents - for me AND for him.

She would go to the woods behind the house and bring large leaves and branches which would be left by the front door. I could see her running from the woods with a branch in her mouth. Much nicer than mice! My beautiful white cat Pepper was not happy to be totally indoors.

I was just coming into the living room when Howard came in through a French window, dropping something on the bench under the window that was largish and off-white. It appeared to be a big rat. Ran for the rubber gloves and a plastic bag, but when I approached the rat, I found Howard had brought home something entirely different -- a burrito! It was warm and the only marks on it were Howard's teeth as he transported it home as carefully as if it had been a kitten. Howard's burrito became legend in the neighborhood, but I never found out who's house he raided.
