I am so thankful for your post!! I looked out my bedroom window tis morning and noticed two patches of soft white feathers on my lawn. Pretty, I thought, at first, until my mind woke up and I realized they were from a bird! Next I noticed a dark body of some sort a few feet away. Upon inspection I discovered it was a pigeon, a headless one. My two cats do not go outside so I was alarmed as I tried to imagine what kind of creature had snuck into my backyard and committed murder. I am so relieved to know that it was most likely a neighboring cat and not a mystery animal. Or worse…

What an amazing story, Dana! You are quite the intrepid reporter that you actually came up with a candy connection! I’m still laughing at the line from the scholar: “For cats it is probably a lot like a human eating a hard candy with a gooey filling.” Gross! My poor stomach!

Bon appetit!

I love this line: “Oh no, someone’s placed a bloody horse’s head on Allison’s bed. This can’t be good.”

Should send a headless pigeon to the Vatican…..

Ah yes. Corpse Patrol. Both of our toms like to pounce on fluffy little baby birds in the spring and one just dragged a good sized ex-mouse up to the cat door. Of course, when the raccoon comes charging into the basement they make themselves scarce.

Such a fabulous and funny post! CSI Nice! I love it! (if only they could be as organized as that!) They will have to call the “you go girl detective” Dana to solve this type of crime, and maybe the other ones too (as we know they are always busy looking the other way down there). Can’t stop laughing!
