Mighty Hunter
Last night, I discovered that my stack of 11x17 printer paper had a wee surprise in it. Marinetti had apparently stashed a little present in there for me, all dismembered and icky! What a good cat, except that I'd only used about a third of the paper, so it wasn't really the best place to stick it.
I suppose I should be grateful that the only two mice I have ever found in my apartment had already been dispatched by my brave cat, but I do wish he wouldn't squish them. Ugh. I screamed like a girl and threw the entire stack of paper, mouse and all, into the garbage.
I was later informed that my reaction may have been a bit...extreme.

You'd think the more...er...zaftig kitties wouldn't be able to catch mice, but Marinetti seems to be decent at it. So it could be either, really.

It's funny that Marinetti hid the mouse. Why? How? Maybe it was a surprise present! Was he at least there for your reaction?

He looked quite proud when I found it, though.

That reminds me of Jan Wong's account of the Tiannamen Square massacre; people weren't afraid of bullets, but when it started to rain, they all went for cover.

the only time i ever had to deal with anything like this is when my dog brough home a squirrel she had killed. in retrospect it was kind of cute. she's such a provider.

I made the mistake of thanking her the first few times and made a show of my gratitude - which backfired into "YOU LIKE IT - ME GO GET MORE NOW!!!"
I wouldn't feel too sorry for the mouses - they are of the smart.

Yeah, that story. I dunno, I'm on the mouse's side on this one.

"Make the cat clean it up?" HaHa, that'll be the day...that's why they have humans!

Have you ever taunted a cat when it gets a bad case of cattitude by putting the can of food in front of it and a can opener and saying, "Make it yourself"?

I wonder what's going to happen in the new place...I think there might be a lot more mice, given what an old building it is.
