Sometimes it hard to love a killer and even harder to love two

Last night Mabel passed by the french window with a rabbit in her mouth. We didn’t let her inside! This morning a telltale feather on Nigel’s mouth brought news of another killing

A fat pigeon left outside the front door
How can such a sweet looking cat be such a ferocious killer?
Nigel has more of the demeanour of a “hunter” than Mabel but both are highly skilled in the dark arts
