I know some folks have little love for kats, of the feline persuasion, but I'd express a bit of concern for animal cruelty laws before confessing such an approach.
But - I guess, how different is getting pinkies to feed one's snake? I'd expect rodent's 'spring don't garner the same tear-jerk reactions as the larger family pets.
I've clubbed and scooped rat-brains in the name of science in my day. Heard pocket gophers also make great big cat bait. Young birds that might have fallen out of a nest.
Cat's eat meat. I'm not one to buy into the stinkier the better philosophy. Might draw there attention, but a side by side flavor comparison, I expect they'll take fresh over aged to perfuction... (putridity?)
Squaw - I won't squwack over, but Suckers I found last spring - the filets went in the batter and fryer, while the bones, heads, bits and guts were chopped and slides, diced - and made for some great kitty hookups.
I have a perfect picture for this occasion, but I almost don't dare share it... it's a dog with a cat stuffed in it's mouth. I won't repeat the caption, except he's told he's "doing it all wrong".
PS: shrimp, worms, icky chicken livers - not my favorite. carp or other minnows, cut-bait.
