Pinot's Present!

[Gin]

I will stick with the classics and say 'a mouse'. Missy brought me a mouse the other day, so it's fresh in my memory (the mouse got away safely, I'm happy to say!)

[Taz_Zoee]

I'll guess a lizard. We have tons of them out at my parents house.

[katladyd]

A leprechaun?

[Killearn Kitties]

A bat as an emblem for the catmobile?

[Barbara]

Plush toys as she wants to impress Ruby and Vinnie?

[Pinot's Mom]

All wonderful guesses, very creative, but it was...

A CHIPMUNK!

I got Pinot to drop it, took her inside and came back to look after the chipmunk. The poor thing, when I went in, was in one spot, hopping in a circle like a little whirling dervish. By the time I got back, it was hiding in the grass. I had a little chat with it, telling it the creature was coming back out, and it took off like a shot to get under cover, so I think it's OK.

Later, I related the story to my husband, and when I got to the part where it was hopping around, and I didn't know what to think, he said, "The poor thing was in shock! How would you feel if you just got picked up by Godzilla?!"

[Barbara]

It rather reminded me of a chipmunk that Eddie (Edwina's little brother) invited home to meet his purrents. Poor thing had a heart attack- at least that's the official reading.
I am so glad Chippie survived. And Pinot: you better are more careful with what you bring home. We know you are a great hunter but we also love you if you never bring home food
