I
have five cats. Three adults (one male and two females) and two 4 month
old kittens I'm hoping to give for adoption. At 8 10 this morning, my
girls insisted I let them outside to play and seeing as I had 40 more
minutes before having to leave for work, I complied, leaving the porch
door open. You see where this is going, right?
At 8 45, I went
the bedroom to get dressed and noted the male cat reaching for something
behind the clothes hamper. On a closer look, I realized that one of my
girls was doing the same thing on the other side of the hamper. Curious,
I pulled the hamper from its place, and there it was, in whole its
glory, a big mouse. Or, a small rat, judging but its size.
Now
imagine me screaming like a banshee, the cats, four of them, converging
on the mouse, chasing it
through the bedroom, through the closet and moving through the house to
the open kitchen. And despite the number of cats, the mouse escaped,
somewhere in the living room.
I had to drag the desk, the few
boxes I had next to it, some books and I still couldn't find the
intruder. Luckily, I don't have much furniture. So, I left all 5 cats in
the living room with the mouse, firmly requesting they present me with a
corpse upon my return.
Okay, I understand them bringing me gifts, but if it has to be mice, is it too much to ask for them to be dead?
