I've never seen this before. Ever.
I just went into the backyard with the kids, and was wandering around, and came upon what looked like a fuzzy lump. upon closer inspection, I noticed a squirrel. I poked it with a long stick to make sure it wasn't dead, and it fell off....the pile. Yes, it was a pile. Of squirrel parts.
I nearly lost my lunch right there. Oh my god, the smell. The sheer grossness to boot. There were paws and various other half eaten parts just all piled up, plus another ENTIRE squirrel.
My only explanation is that our cats, who have been unexpectedly excited to go out at night lately, have been putting what they can't eat of their kills into this one spot. I don't know any other reason why I should find something that looks like its from a diminuitive Aztec ritual.
Is this typical cat behavior? Or should I be looking for another reason?
