Kill Count



I have a cat.  Her name is Moxa...she is around 15 years old and her front paws are declawed (not my doing).  By that write up, she sounds like a cat that would do nothing but sleep in the sun all day...not Moxa.  Moxa is a KILLER.  She lives for the hunt.  She might not decimate the local rodent population like she did 5-10 years ago, but she is still holding her own.  In her honor, I am introducing a kill count graphic on the side bar.  This is only confirmed kills...kills that I witness firsthand, or kills that she gifts to me (nothing says love like a dead mouse at the foot of your bed in the morning).  Moxa started off the year slow...so I wasn't keeping track.  She has picked up speed lately.  By the outlines on the count graphic shown below (but normally in the sidebar) you can see that she has killed two mice and one rabbit...not too bad for less than a week.

That is just awesome. Made me laugh too.

Do you have the original kill count tracker we had on the fridge? You should find that and scan it. Impressive.

OMG - I'd forgotten all about that kill count tracker. She reminds me of Moshi. Go, Moxa Mae Jenkins! And yes, I'm sadly responsible for her declawing. But trust me - she and Oaf were little bastards with those things!!!

She is good...but I don't think she has reached the Moshie level of killing. I haven't seen Moxa kill a snake, frog, tadpole, or bird in flight...nor has she beat the shit out of a small dog tied to a pole in it's own yard.
But destroyer of mice she is.
