My Keesa was a decent hunter and her technique was grab the neck and *roll*, thereby twisting the neck. Just watch fuzzies play with each other ... they grab and roll. I guess there might be other techniques as well that I haven't seen. But Keesa dispatched a pigeon in short order with that technique. Only a very abbreviated "squeek" got out before the bird was dead (and neatly piled on her "stash" pile!). --Barb-- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- Barbara Carlson Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA [log in to unmask] (412) 481-5927 http://www.gsia.cmu.edu/andrew/bcarlson/home.html (under construction) Thought for the day: If "boring women have immaculate homes," I must be very interesting! -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- -=- [Posted in FML issue 1548]
