Another Rodent In the Middle of the Floor

Cats are wicked creatures. I found another dead rodent lying in the middle of my floor this time. I tried to get the evil cat to take it out of my room, but instead she ran under my bed to crunch on its bones and devour its fur-covered skin and tender meat and juicy blood. She just left one organ shaped like a sausage so that I’d have to be all grossed out and have to dispose of it myself.

C’mon, admit it. You’re sick if you like cats.

    First, you don’t love us if we don’t love Rick. Now, we’re sick if we like cats? Don’t you think you’re being a bit extreme lately, Rachel? ;-p

    Our evil cat pulls this prank all the time. We have a dog door for our animals so we are presented with a variety of creatures. Just last night, around 4am, His Royal Catness brought a furry toy into our bedroom. This one was dead. The ones that are still alive are the worst but at least with them we manage the occasional rescue.

    BTW, I believe the surgically excised organ is the gall bladder. Our cat removes them as well.

    i HATE cats. they are of the devil. they have no loyalty, are snotty, and leave headless mouses on the front porch.

    Well… that would explain the nausea and the migraine.

    Your cat must love you if she’s bringing you prey. They do it out of love, not out of malice.

    Yep. Your cat’s trying to share. It’s very sweet. You should reward the mighty hunter.

    And if you cook up some squirrel stew while the meat is fresh, it makes for some mighty fine eatin’.

    I thought you people from Idaho were all about things like squirrel stew. Or is that folks from Monroe?

    I get so confused. ;-)

    Yes, yes, finally a like-minded soul. When I see a cat in my yard, I look longingly at my scoped air-rifle in the corner. I argue with myself and finally remember that the rifle is for black air-demons (crows), not feline ground-devils. The neighbors wouldn’t understand.

    Looks like there are more than a few “denominational” differences over cats.

    Hey, now. Cats are looking for your approval if they bring you prey. They admire you even more if they don’t kill it before they bring it to you. If they do that they are treating you as though you are the mother cat teaching them to be independent.

    My sister is going to vet school and a couple years ago, when she was working at a vet clinic in Pasadena, I visited her. On the wall was a poster that pretty much sums it all up:

    “Dogs have masters. Cats have staff.”
