Eek! 
When we lived in Manchester I originally hired Sparky as a mouser, at which he excelled, but he's rarely got anything bigger than a moth since we moved to a more rural area - I think the sheer amount of wildlife intimidates him. Cedric was put off for ever when a squirrel mounted him and rode across the garden on his back.

Our cats have brought in a few birds, ranging in size from tiny to magpie, many shrews and mice, a young rat once, grassnakes and the occasional bat. Oh, and very many rabbits! They very rarely attempt to eat birds - if they do they prefer to pluck them in one room and disembowel in another
The terrier took charge of the rat so they didn't chew that either and I don't think snakes and bats look like food. They only eat the heads off shrews, all of the mouse except the tail and the nose, and all of the rabbit except a sack of shit which they leave for newharper to clear up.
I think the oldest cat is responsible for the serious carnage - you can hear her come home making that special mew that means 'grub's up' - and she got it from her mother who lived with us until Konjo was a year old. The mother rarely killed anything as far as we knew but then she had kittens and started bringing stuff home for them; with hindsight, five kittens and a dog chasing a mouse around all the downstairs rooms seems quite amusing.
And yes, we do feed the cats, they don't need to eat wildlife but they do prefer it.

A camellia plant.
I didn't think the leaves would be edible, even to a rabbit. I was wrong.

Haven't got a pet in London but when I lived in Manchester my Cairn was attacked by an Alsatian and he bit the big fucker's balls off.
It was a neighbour's dog that had escaped and he figured it was a fox or something that did it.
Had to give Norton's little beard a damn good wash before he went out in public again.

They are very good at carrying live animals carefully. In the Autumn, my mothers labrador brings home a hedgehog after very dog walk. Last winter we must've had about two dozen of the hibernating under
his dog house, coz that's where they crept once we persuaded him to let them go!
Our dog kills bees. He has an impressive biting technique where he bites them in two. He catches rats too.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
Last week I was taking my dogs out and we came across a wounded crow, and my dogs went for it, we started chasing them away. And then the crows mates turned up. And started dive bombing the dogs. Literaly going for their faces, and nearly hitting them. Dogs think this is fucking brillant entertainment and start doing backflips to catch the crows. I'm dragging them away from the wounded crow, and then one of the crows wallops me in the back of the head.
The crows then proceeds to follow us around the park and dive bombing us when they thought we got too close.
Moral of this story, crows are fucking mental.
Oh and my dog got a baby duck. It wa savage he literaly leapt into a group of ducks and geese feeding, and grabbed the baby duck. That was fucking grim.

Lost in the wood
For years our cat just killed string - but recently she's developed a taste for blood and I've found a pigeon, a starling and a frog mauled almost beyond recognition (but never eaten!).
Thank God she doesn't bring them into the house - we've got enough problems with magpies occasionally falling down the chimney. They're not the nicest sight in your living room first thing on a Sunday when you've got a hangover!

Thankfully mine are too lazy to bother with anything more taxing than the occasional insect these days, but Beaker went through a phase of murderation that saw my bedroom festooned with mice and birds. Malcolm could only ever manage worms 
Bless him, he was so proud of himself when he brought his first worm in. I bloody wasn't though, I trod on it in the middle of the night and nearly had a stroke.
