Before we went down to spend the 4th with Tom and Tammy, Kaiser and Dolph brought me a present from their adventures outside! Kaiser came proudly in the bedroom to bring me a very alive mouse!!!! I screamed a lot, and he ran down to the basement with it. Not really thinking that I was going to have to hunt this thing down, I went about my business of packing. I went downstairs after a few minutes to realize that Kaiser just let the mouse go. Normally they are sick creatures and torment their treasures before killing them. I looked for over an hour for the mouse, but I had no luck in finding it. Dolph is a lazy cat who tries to take credit for Kaiser’s treasures. He is the one doing the tormenting, but for some reason he was more interested in the flashlight than the mouse. So we went to Fayetteville, and I just knew I was going to find this sweet mouse in pieces all over some part of the house. We got home a couple days later, and to my surprise there was no mouse bits everywhere!!!! We were downstairs looking for the mouse bits, and discovered Dolph stalking something in the corner. It was the mouse, and it was alive!!!! I have become a pro at catching Kaiser’s treasures because his favorite things to bring me are live lizards in the bedroom. I’ve learned to use the trash can like a goal and the broom like a hockey stick. We rescued the mouse, and I took it outside so that my sick cats couldn’t torment it anymore! Thought I would share pictures of the very scared and very alive treasure of the cats!
That is not a cute item to have been brought into your nice home by those animals!!!!! How do we trust them again? What would have happened if they actually got that thing up on your bed and then it got loose? Lilly would have to come and live with me.
I hope you don’t let those cats kiss you……
So far they have brought me spiders, grasshoppers, beetles, baby moles, a mouse, and their favorite is lizards. I can’t tell you how many lizards they’ve brought me. I felt bad for one because it was in the house for 2 days before we could rescue it! I hate to discourage their hunting abilities because who knows one day we might actually have a mouse in the house that wasn’t brought in by them! Plus, these presents are sign of affection. You don’t want your pets thinking that the presents they bring you aren’t good enough! Lilly’s going to have to learn how to play hockey with the presents like I do!!!
Cats are the most wretched animals alive and these two are no exception. The “bad one” destroys anything that smells like me with his claws when he’s not vomitting everywhere. The “good one” seems to like bringing live insects and varmints in the house and placing them on our bed or simply releasing it into the house. It’s amazing to me how Laura can love those cats so much considering they bring her “presents” that usually scare the hell out of her. They sure are lucky they’re so cute and fluffy or I’m sure Laura would see them for the little deamons they are and they’d be out on their lazy butts.
