OK, I'm attempting my first Daily Thread. Let's hope all goes well. If not, I know the mods will fix it!
About three weeks ago, the gf and I discovered there are mice living in the house. The cats staking out the dishwasher was a big clue.
Every night they would position themselves near the diswaher and just stare. At first I thought, "Hee hee, how cute! They must spot a spider or something." And then it happened. They cornered one. I was so
Proud of them!
My cats have always been house cats. I never let them outside so they never had an opportunity to let nature take it's course. As a result, I was extremely proud of my two babies. I compare the feeling I had for them kinda like what I imagine a parent would feel when their child brings home the first "A" on a report card.
Anyway, the next night my two little sweethearts not only cornered one, but disemboweled one.
I have to admit that as proud as I was, I was also grossed out. After the disembowelment, we decided it was time to get some humane traps. This morning, we released Mousy number 6 into the wild. I am starting to get worried how many more are around.
My daily thread question is this: Have your animals ever done something that made you feel proud of them? Or are you compeletly grossed out by the entire natural instinct thing they have to kill and bring you presents?
And just to broaden the question a little more: Have they done anything that has made you laugh your ass off? I know my Sammy is full of constant entertainment.
And as for our two favorite witches: What do you think Miss Kitty Fantastico would do if presented with an opportunity to show off her natural instincts? Would our girls be proud of her or a little grossed out?
I think that even with all the Hellmouth activities, Willow and Tara would probably feel a little grossed out around dead rodents.
Edited to change the name of the daily thread! I thought I had reviewed all the daily threads pretty thoroughly, but I missed one that was already titled Cat and Mouse. So, I apologize to BBOvenGuy.
