ReplyDeleteI love your cat in a bowl, picture. They are such funny little characters, aren't they? The other day my cat, who has a bell and as a result has never brought me home a gift of a hunted anything (other than the occasional grasshopper, which he catches, and then releases IN THE HOUSE. A grasshopper landing on your face in the middle of the night does not make for good humor) Anyway, I digress, Kip has never brought me home any dead animal gifts... until the other day, when he showed up with a dead mouse - which was still in its trap. Yes, he dragged the entire mouse trap, with dead mouse intact, to my door. Then he made a huge deal like he'd caught and killed it himself, instead of just finding it. Proud as heck, he was.
I didn't have the heart to tell him it doesn't really count.
