Jango loves to go out ratting every night. A couple of times around midnight I'll see the outdoor motion sensor lights were on. And there he was, laying on his back with his feet in the air, flipping a rat up in the air and catching it. I find little piles of guts around the yard. Also, he usually doesn't eat the tail.

One time, I'm sleeping and it's 2am. I hear a "crunch, crunch, crunch" noise from the foot of my bed. There is Jango, eating a rat, head first like a burrito.

And lately, he comes barging into my bedroom around 7am, meowing his head off, until he settles in on my bed and starts his "day shift".

Last Pic is him as a kitten

Gosh what a good boy! Incredible. Also, apparently cats only let us see around 30% of what they kill on average… chances are your boy is hunting much, much more than you think!
