    Funny stories!

    KAK, you reminded me -- ages ago, when my sister and her husband were getting married on the ranch our parents were caretakers on, their mighty hunter, Oliver, delivered his present to the front door of the ranch house. A live garter snake. I was nervous around him for days after, wondering what he was up to this time.
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

    Got this today on my Daily Bad Cat email and thought of Livvy:

    Requiem for a Rodent
    O mouse, so filling yet dietetic
    You make me feel quite copasetic.
    I hate to do this without anesthetic
    But it’s much too late to call a medic

    Clever girl, Livvy! It is good to keep your meowmie safe!

    I remember when our Samantha was really young, Alec was trying to play with her with a toy mouse, but she just would not engage with it. In fact, she looked at it with utter disdain, then ran out of the catflap. A few minutes later she came running back in with this enormous creature in her jaws, as if to say "now this is a mouse!"

    Livvy - Congratulations! What a hero you are in Mommy's eyes!

    My Rainbow Bridge love - Patches, was famous for going next door to my neighbors "farmyard" and bringing home critters. She was always so proud to bring her Mom a present - while I just stood there gagging, knowing I had to deal with it.

    Good girl Livvy!
    I do know the feeling. Any mouse dumb enough to come into my house with four cats, deserves what it gets. Surely the mice know they are here.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    I have been giggling about this since I read it. However, I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.... Samantha misunderstood Alec. She thought he was shaking the stuffed mouse and telling her...."go get me a real one of these! And be quick about it!"

    Misunderstandings like this lead to all sorts of mischief!

    Oh, my poor misunderstood little Samantha! All this time, we have thought she had an evil streak ...
