Mr Toad

Lovely picture !

My 2 cats like them too, frogs mostly, they don't have the sense to play dead though and the more they jump and squeak - the more fun they are :-((

They squeal when they are bought in but hten play dead.
First time one got bought home I thought someone was being murdered.
My goodness do they have a load squeal.

I always think the frogs sound like a baby,its a good thing really because I can then rescue them but if they play dead then I don`t know until its too late.
Lovely photo.....

They only play dead after they have been put down either at my feet or in the kitchen. LOL
Luckily so far none have been harmed. Lord alone knows why not due to the cats sharp teeth.

Aren't animals marvellous? We had a Black Lab who used to carry frogs around in his mouth. He'd pick them up, head first, and then place them where he thought they should be! He never harmed one of them. It was so funny watching him walk across the garden with two frogs legs hanging from his mouth. Needless to say we did not encourage him!!

LOL funny to watch though.

Yes, very funny. Thankfully he never bought one into the house ~ that would have been too much. lol.

perhaps this is where im going wrong, I havent got a cat!! Nothing in my pond yet. Still under construction - plant wise I mean

I'm thankful I have kids LOL
In the summer my younger two go frog and toad hunting in the pond ewwwwwww

Great I had to complete strip mine and start again this year.
Luckily I had a lot of sludge in the bottom and frogspawn to kick start it.
Even had a dragon fly yesterday. Will post some pond picks shortly ;)

I look out for them Blooming thank you

watered my grobag on the greenhouse floor and ( without my glasses) wondered what was in the corner-- you've guessed it --- toad!

Blooming why did you have to empty your pond? must have been very messy

Good photo.

Glad you could rescue him :o)
My cat only catches shrews and field mice. She doesn't kill them, but brings them in the house and lets them go lol

brings little friends in to play? :))))

:o))

Lovely photo its good he does nt hurt them.

I've just taken a good look at the frog in the photo ........ he has a resigned look on his face .......... maybe he's been caught before and knows the drill by now!! ...... lol

Sokey use to do that Hywel many years ago....

I hope he's ok Carol

Ohh dont - my kitten has only just been going out (a fortnight) and shes caught two birds (one dead one rescued! - why do we put bells on their collers when its their tail that wags when they are about to hunt!!) and loads of bees, wasps, flies etc just dreading the first mouse or frog!!

My cat Jonathan brings frogs home and he is not interested in being friends. I try and rescue and release if possible but he just heads out and tracks them down again. Bad news is our neighbours have just installed a small pond this weekend with the view to attracting frogs (other neighbour already has them) and he loves spending time round there already. They get on ko with him at the moment but all that may end if they end up frogless !!!
I have heard the noise they make too and it is suprisingly loud and sounds a bit like a human baby - it doesn't seem to deter him.
