So, I went over to visit my mom today, just talk and stuff and my cat was hanging out by the door (where people leave shoes) and I was trying to let her in, but she wouldn't go. So, curious to see what was so exciting about shoes, I moved them. Only to find that there was a baby mouse, not much bigger than an inch, dutifully hiding under the shoes. My cat was all too excited that the mouse was no longer hidden and chased it off the porch.
When I was leaving, I open the door to see on the welcome mat, that same mouse, but now it was dead. Poor mouse... and EWW! My cat thought it would be very nice to leave us a present! So thoughtful of her catching food for us so we can eat.
I was just thinking, that's love! It's a weird animal type of love, but that's what it is, devotion to her master and she is showing that by leaving, what to her, is a treat... Interesting. She gave us her treasure! Unfortunately for her... and us... we didn't want that treasure, so the poor little mouse got to take a trip to the trash. Sad for the mouse...
I love my kitty! I wish I could take her home!
Actually I think the cat showed a distinct lack of care. If I found a bar of gold and wanted to give it to you I wouldn't set it on your front porch for someone to steal (MAILMAN STEVE I'm looking at you). I'd hand it to you in person. Damn cats.
