OP
Ocelot II
(123,559 posts)1. I didn't know eating chipmunk meat had that effect.
We used to have a cat who ate chipmunk heads and left the bodies on the front steps, and she never seemed to get digestive problems. Maybe the heads aren't a problem by themselves, or maybe chipmunk meat isn't as bad for cats as for dogs. Or maybe it was because the chipmunk heads were fresh, the cat having done her own hunting. I assume Boog's chipmunk was found and not caught?

(123,559 posts)4. That's probably what happened. Cats won't eat rotten meat but dogs will eat
any damn thing. I once knew a Lab who ate rocks.
