Please Don't Eat Your Toys

There was a nasty ball of remains on the floor.  I don't know if it was entrails.  I don't know if it was a regurgitated corpse.

I didn't look that closely.

The point is: one of my cats has discovered that mice are not only great playthings, but edible as well.

Oh dear.

I have no idea which one is responsible.  Wheezy went to sit by it when I got up.  I don't know, though, whether that means that she did it and was showing off, or if she was sitting there saying "Now look what Patches has done!"  Or maybe she was responsible for the kill, but was trying to make me think that Patches had done it so he'd get in trouble for her foul deed.

Who knows the inner workings of a cat's mind?

Now if only I didn't know the contents of its stomach.

Aren't cats the greatest? I've learned that as much as I would love to know what think, I'm pretty sure that I would be better off not knowing:)

Ungrateful human! One of our cat overkitties has given you a great gift, and you are repulsed? Hmph!

Ewwwww! This is what I'm afraid will happen if a cat's get ahold of a mouse in our house!

I'll never forget when I was six and saw the neighbor's cat munching on a decapitated mousie. It's just a weeeee bit different from the cartoons :)

My cat likes to just drop them at our feet after he kills them, he doesn't eat them (that I know of). One time he left three at the foot of my bed (they were putting in new bike paths right behind our house and so all the mice that lived there infested our homes. Nice.

Sheila- same here. I've had these cats for years, and they've always just played with the mice until they croaked, then leave them for me to find. This is the first mouse meal that I'm aware of, and am now dreading future... leftovers.

Spins- you're darn right I'm ungrateful! Though a tad guilty-feeling because I'm ungrateful. But not enough to make me grateful after all.

Tony- Yeah, you never saw Tom and Jerry, or Garfield, treat mice quite that way!
