@exocomics and she's bringing them home to share!! 😭😭😭
@exocomics @aud Did you see the Related Stories? It's clearly a growing problem with New Zealand cats... and these are only the ones that have been caught!
@exocomics Thank you for bringing this important matter to our attention.
@exocomics this is relevant to my interests.
@michelv as an enjoyer of both sausage rolls and cats, it is also relevant to my interests
@exocomics I reckon they're tuck shop sausage rolls.
@exocomics what's going on with cats in NZ?
@kev these innocent babies are all being FRAMED.

@exocomics @kev look I understand the sentiment but they are not innocent babies.

They are THE HEROES WE ALL NEED.

@exocomics @Galley I’m wondering if Bella is out there making sausage rolls, from scratch.
@exocomics this is much better than mice. How do I get a cat that brings me sausage rolls?
@exocomics @solveig The mystery is still unsolved!
@exocomics this is racial profiling

@exocomics

We've had two prize hunting cats:

One would proudly bring a potato about once a week.

The other had greater ambition and would bring fully wrapped filled rolls.

@exocomics how do I train our six kitties to do this!? Will never have to cook again!!! 🤣🤣
