My one cat killed a squirrel but it had a disease and eventually ended up killing my cat.

Her name was mischief and she ended up living up to her name.

no, it was like 12 years ago. I took her into the vet but it was a Sunday and double charge and I didn't have the money, so they gave her a water hump because she wasn't drinking and then she begged to go outside and she died in the neighbors yard after hiding under the deck all night where I couldn't get her.

Might've been Lyme disease since it was a squirrel and they carry Borella, I don't think cats suffer with Lyme disease that badly anyhow, something to do with there immune system I remember hearing. What breed was she?
A barn cat. I never have bought a cat. I just inherit them.

I have to think about cat deaths these days. I have two elderly cats that are nearing the eventual drop off from kidney disease or whatever. I do have a story to tell about the process of death of cats, but it will take a second to type out.

My two cats growing up both died within 3 months of each other. The one cat was Tiger and the other was M&M. Tiger was my favorite because I was a kid and played favorites back then. She died first. I didn't want to let go. I ended up taking too much time to have her put down. She stopped eating first and then stopped drinking. Her breath was really terrible because her kidneys failed. When I took her in, I was there to have her put down. I looked right into her eyes and she had this comfort look like "finally, I can stop feeling pain".

M&M lasted another couple of months and she started to have the same symptoms. She had terrible breath and stopped eating. So, I thought that it would be best not to put her through the same excruciating last couple of days that I knew were coming and went to the vet to have her put down as well. Her reaction was much much different and it kinda scarred me. She had this look like "no, oh fucking no, not yet, not yet!". And she peed all over me as she passed.

I don't know if every animal is different and I don't know the appropriate time to go and make the decision. It very well could be very dependent on the animal itself and every reaction could be different.
 
About hunting and eating rabbits, I’ve heard that it’s not uncommon for them to be infected with - I’m not sure if this is correct - a parasite or a disease that can make them toxic to consume.

Apparently, you won’t know if they’re infected until you see some unusual white spots on their innards.
 
I've never heard of this, I thought the only thing you could contract from rabbit was a foodborne disease like salmonella and stuff. Even then that's only if it isn't prepared properly. When, I ate the squirrel I basically ate all of it expect for it's internal organs since I didn't know if they were all edible or if just roasting them over a fire would cook them properly and I didn't have my phone or a book to check.

From what I've read, you can keep the offal and eat it. So, next time I see a squirrel, I'll give it a go. I'm not gonna eat the brain though because I saw some sort of county hunting website say that eating it can be fatal, so I'm not risking it, if I ever feel suicide, maybe it'll be a fun way to become an hero as opposed to hanging or something boring like that :awesome:. From what I read, before people found out they were fatal, a nice way to eat 'em was to scramble them and eat them alongside American white gravy. Brains are pretty buttery, so that'd be an interesting combination, shame it'll kill you though. Lulz.
Okay, just be careful with that varmint cuisine.

Also, rabbit meat is extremely lean, so you can’t live off of it.
