A Scene Of Carnage....

[RVTECH]

In my shop this morning! 'Something' caught a jackrabbit and had a fine meal of it. Literally nothing left but the rib cage, a couple feet and various entrails scattered around the floor. Too big for a domestic cat to have done so I suspect the local Cougar (the four legged one) spent the night in my shop last night. I'll get some pics up.

Wowser, yeah probably a cougar for sure. I definitely wanna checkout some pics

You would be surprised at what a domestic cat can do. I had one that not only caught a large wild rabbit, she climbed up a 10 foot tall support beam with it to get on my deck and left it on my door step. Such a lovely gift.

I'm not sure that much would be left if a cougar got it.

Either way I'd be carrying a big hand gun with me on the way to the shop from now on.

Yea might have been just a couple feral cats - I have lots of them around also!
Think this is big enough?

That'll do lad. That'll do.

Oh, wow! Had to be more than one going at the carcass, probably helping each other tear it apart. The body had to be turned upside down and all over to get at everything. Amazing photos!

By the way, I once found a squirrel carcass that looked much like that scene. I know for a fact it was just a local cat...not even feral. Just an outside house cat.

Thing is I feed all the cats pretty well (feral and domestic) so the need for one to go through this much trouble seems unlikely but who knows. It was a pretty good sized jack also.

Small predator.

A cougar would have taken the whole thing, bone and all. (@Stomper)

 

[RVTECH]

Maybe bobcat - there are a few of them around. Might be time for a trail cam and set it up in my shop!

 

[CHLChris]

I doubt it had anything to do with hunger if was even a normal cat. Just like it is said by Japanese that they have a second stomach that can only be filled with rice, I bet that carnivorous predators, even those domesticated and fed regularly with store-bought food, have a stomach that can only be sated by the occasional free-range kill.

I feed my cats well too but it doesn't stop them from killing and eating anything they can get their teeth and claws on. Instinct I guess or maybe they just want a change in their diet

I say it's either a bobcat or ya got a big gnarly-azzed Maine Coon Tabby roamin' the hood.

 

[RVTECH]

Yea - I once though about getting a Main Coon - until I saw how much those things cost!

I don't get it....

Maybe if you keep a few half-crippled bunnies around, you can have one for free!

 

[2A2Dend]

Looks like a scene from Alien Vs Predator..LOL
Snack time!!

 

[clearconscience]

What about a coyote?

 

[Greenbug]

I would wager that your late night diner only has two legs..... and two wings...
Probably an owl. A cougar would eat it whole, a coyote would pack it off somewhere. I think only an owl or hawk or some kind of raptor could pick the carcass so clean.
