Love it.

I had a buddy in the navy at a submarine base, who was an authority on
birds of prey. He was used by the RSPCA etc to nurse injured and
abused birds back to health. He even had dispensation to keep an Eagle
Owl, a Barn Owl and a Kestrel at the base and he used to take them
around schools in the Gosport area.

He also had a fairly large facility in the garden of his home in the
Chatham area, his wife looked after them during the week. One sunny
weekend he put all of his birds out on the rail, on Jessies, then sat
on his patio, relaxing and having a cup of coffee. He suddenly became
aware of the next door neighbours cat sneaking under the rail, in an
attempt to snaffle a Kestrel. Unfortunately, before he could get down
there, an Eagle Owl, under which the cat was stalking, put one claw
down and crushed the cats head and was tearing it apart by the time he
arrived. In something of a quandry, he rushed down and removed the
dead cat, put it in his shed until he decided what action to take.
About half hour later the neighbour came out calling the cat, my buddy
didn't have the heart to tell them what had happened, so I believe he
just fed it to the birds later on.
