I now they catch fish if given the chance, but will they also catch frogs? 🐸😺

Commonly people think cats only hunt rats and mice, but they also can hunt rare animals like cute birds.

    Yeah, they’re curious and will try to eat most animals or plants. Frogs often carry harmful (to cats) bacteria and parasitic worms though…

    Can confirm my mom’s cat loves catching and eating frogs/toads by her backyard pond. As others have said it’s not advisable to allow as there’s risk of poison, salmonella, etc.

      Hmm. Do they carry salmonella? I would assume they have a whole different gut biota from amniotes like mammals or birds.
