The cat had a mouse. He seems to have eaten all of it bar these bits
I think one is intestine. What do you think the other is?

Are you selling or buying?

I think it's kidneys. Our cat always leaves bits like those.

Looks like the stomach to me - probably a bit too acidy for your fussy cat!  |

For autumnal atmosphere.
The weird thing is that he appears to have eaten all the rest of it - fur, bones, tail and all - but left those bits.
I once read that a mouse is 30kcal, and a cat needs the equivalent of 10 a day.
He also had a bird, which he brought into the house - all that we could find of that was a bit of wing, so I'm hoping he didn't save the rest of it for a rainy day

The first week after arriving here with two English cats, one of them celebrated the move by catching a rabbit, eating half of it and dragging the other half under the mobile home for later  As far as I know, he'd never even seen a rabbit before. The French cats aren't particularly ambitious, just mice and the occasional wagtail, but I do wish they'd leave the lizards alone. There's something toxic about them that sends cats right off-colour. Back to stvincent's innards......the jury's out on whether it's the stomach or the gall bladder...both might be left because of the bitter taste. Whichever, you've got to admire their precision |

I'm an expert on mouse innards and I assure you it's the stomach - the gall bladder is red and random shaped with a liver-like texture...I should know because I've scraped hundreds off the door mat over the years.  I used to have Siamese cats and they were all fantastic rabbiters, they could carry a rabbit as big as themselves and sometimes even managed get them into the house through a small top window. They eat the lot, leaving only the tails ... which daughter used to collect and keep in a jam jar!  |

Crystal - did you ever check to see what was inside the stomach . That would be definitive in terms of future visual diagnosis. BTW - do you not like rabbits? |

While on a campsite near The Mull of Galloway our dog a Borzoi, while tied up outside the caravan must have caught and eaten a rabbit, the DW and I was unaware of it until we took him for a walk, we had just got as far as the wardens office when he started to throw up, we was worried at the time taken and then shocked to see a whole partly digested rabbit come out took some explaining and cleaning up. |

Whole as in it had been swallowed whole or all the pieces of a whole rabbit?

Whole as in it had been swallowed whole or all the pieces of a whole rabbit? One slimy mess about 3" diameter and about 13" long, you could see the legs how he swallowed it I don't know, but a Borzoi does have a very wide mouth, he once had half my head in his mouth don't ask  |
