Is It Dead?

Well...it (the rabbit) was alive when Garfield brought it into the courtyard. It was just "playing dead" (not a good idea!) when Garfield started eating it alive...you might want to be done here if you have a weak constitution! Andrew just went outside again and the rabbit's head is about a foot from it's body and Andrew said "that looks like an olive" (please don't compare dead things to real foods that I sometimes enjoy eating), which was really just part of the heart that had been partly eaten. Shiver! Shiver! Dead things really didn't bother me when I was younger, but now, I can't help but smiling that ugh gross smile, that means I'm trying not to throw up! I really am grateful that we have a hunting cat that gets rid of the little critters that would otherwise be eating my garden, but in the courtyard???, couldn't he eat them in the garden? I would appreciate that SO much more! And...now that he's done with it...I guess...can I give the rest to the chickens? Is that a gross question?

Howdy,
I probably wouldn't give it to the chickens. I think they wouldn't eat it and then it would get nasty.
Good luck with the seeing dead animal body parts in your courtyard thing.
