For the last 2 nights we've had 3 of these Creamy-striped Owl moths in the lounge...driving the cats mad!
Saw this one last night...think it's a Golden Plusia moth.

We had a mousebird inside the other morning, which the cat brought in but I managed to save it.
Then a rat, which I couldn't save.

He has a bell on his collar so he doesn't often catch birds and he very rarely kills them.

The cat brings the catch inside in order to show off
