Title: Weather must be warming up as 'presents' arriving
Post by: ChrisB on February 22, 2009, 21:09:50 PM
Yesterday we had a bone (about six inches long) delivered into the living room and I commented to OH that at least it was better than anything live - they must have misunderstood me as a goldfish from our pond arrived this afternoon which sadly did not survive.

In the absence of my cats I rather hoped I would be saved from this sort of thing. But having had to lift and vacuum all the rugs in the house, I discovered a cache of neatly curled, flat, dessicated corpses of baby slow-worms - hopefully they can go on breeding in peace now that my lot have gone to Australia. I was almost tempted to keep some, they were very pretty ...

LOL!  :rofl:

Mine havent brought anything in lately, but I'm cat sitting for the 'Fab Four' as I call them,  and there have been a few 'presents' on the lounge carpet each morning, innards mostly, although I did find the head of a field mouse this morning  :sick:

Poor little slow-worms - they are so cute.  We had a "pet" one for a while that was rescued from somone who thought it was a snake and wanted to kill it for us  >:(
We had a grass snake, too, that one of the cats brought in as a trophy.
We dont get that sort of pressie now as both cats only have the balcony to hunt on, but Mr T likes to bring me little gifts - this morning he brought me a makeup brush from th dressing table.  Ive had socks, tissues from the waste-paper-basket and his all time favourite - shiny sweet wrappers, again from the bin. 
Have to say I dont miss eviscerated mice and mangled birds one little bit   :evillaugh:
