Next door to me have got a pong in their back garden so my dog sasha very often finds frogs.

I honestly don't know how she sees them, one minute she will be sat on the trampoline and next she will have darted off to the other side of the garden and have a frog cornered.

Most of them get away but a few recieve a rather hefty thump, she uses her paws like a cat. Infact when your playing with her she even jabs you with them...

My cat had one once. I was doing the garden when I heard an awful squealing. I thought the cat had got a mouse but it was a frog trying to get away.

a pong in there garden lol
my dog uses his paws aswel, when i get crickets for luna and put one on the floor for him he watches it till it gets to far away, then hits it iwth his paw and drags it back, we most of the time end up a with big splatter on the floor that has been smudged across the floor lol
i found a frog once in my back garden, then jake came out and found it, i tried to stop him but he ended up picking the frog up in his mouthm than ran away, i tried to catch him but he kept running away, mother found it hilariuos as he was running round with 2 huge frog legs stciking out his mouth lol the frog didn't die luckily so we put it on the front lawn where they all hide. poor thing

Hmm, can say I've had some froggy experiences..

I saw a frog got run over, bless it, and I nearly stepped on two of them humping in the broad view of everything, on the pavement, but thats my only froggy encounters.


When they croak it pees me right off, especially at night, our neighbours got a huge pond and frogs go there every year.. and at night time, RIBBIT RIBBIT RIBBIT all night, pesky things..

This is exactly why I hate cats, specially when they kill birds and frogs, rodents I don't care about but I wish they didnt leave them in my lawn or drive way.

Our dog has accidently killed a frog once, I won't think she ment to she just wants to play but she is so obsessed with them!

My sister also has the habit of stepping on frogs with nothing on her feet lol



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

LMAO yeh I know :/ my neighbour hates my snakes case they think my snakes will escape and eat their cats :/

I hate cats that play with animals. I have kicked cats before to try and save animals or to stop my mum's cats pawing at my snakes which sounds mean but last time I tried to pick one up it had my hand petty badly...

Some cats really don't bother with animals though, my ginger doesn't bother. He tried to play with a paintbrush once and then got really scared with it :/ he's scared of my snakes too lol.

Although in my experience, dogs are just as bad, they all seem to catch ill rabbits and then start crunching their skulls.

im not even a cat person but i have 2... but i rescued one and then she had kittens so i had to keep one haha :)

fudge will not touch another animal, not that she can catch one bless her but at the end of the day its their natural instinct to hunt.
dogs are just as bad just like near enough every animal on this planet including ourselves as we also eat meat, n people shoot birds etc so ya cant reli complain about the cat really (unless your a vegiterian and dont eat fish either.)

but yes i do try n save all the animals i get 'given' from my cat

Am so glad that the frog survived Natalie, you obviously got there just in time. It really is amazing the noise they make, you dont expect a frog to scream but they honestly do....I have heard it.

We have a pond with frogs and newts in and used to have an A & E nurse who lived next door, who dealt with all manner of awful sights at work....but she was terrified of frogs. We came home once to this very pitiful cry from her. She was hiding at the top end of her garden as there was a frog on her patio so she couldnt get back in the house! My OH had to be her knight in shining armour and save her.

I must admit that I dont like cats purely because of the mess that they leave....it stinks. We have so many neighbourhood cats and they seem to like using the small flowerbed right next to our front door as their litter tray, which means that as soon as you open the door or when visitors come that is the first thing that hits - the stink.

I do agree with JJ....cats are doing what comes naturally, although I do hate it when they 'play' with whatever they have caught....let is run a bit away and pounce on it again or throw it in the air, no idea why they do that. But, at the end of the day they are predators and their natural instinct is to hunt....nothing we can do to stop that. They are just the mini lions in our back gardens !

Luckily my dog cant stand cats and if you let her out she will give chase straight away, so we dont get many visitors in the back garden. The only worry is that she has got rather close a couple of times....I wonder what she would do if she caught one

Cats only play with their food because they've not been taught to hunt. We takle them away from their mothers at the stage when they're only just learning how to kill, so they think they're killing their food but to us it looks like they're taking delight in torturing and playing with it. Feral and wild cats don't tend to play with their food, otherwise it might get away. A lot of dometic cats' behavious, such as trampling on you when you stroke them, is half-kitten behaviour. The trampling is done on the mother's mammary glands to stimulate milk flow, while your hand stroking them feel's like mum's tongue licking them clean.

But a batted-about frog doens't half make an unearthly racket
