Yesterday I read a story about a cat who leaves her owner little treats in her purse. Every day she cleans out this little purse pocket and every day her feline friend deposits a few pieces of her own cat kibble to share. It was the most adorable thing I've read this week!
It got me thinking about the gifts my cats leave me, which aren't so sweet. Aside from the usual hairball or regurgitated food that was consumed too quickly, my cats leave me dead things--like crickets, or once in a while a bird that comes down our chimney--or destroyed things, like things they've pushed off dressers, like my Nightmare Before Christmas snowglobe last week. We must love them a lot to be all "This is why we can't have nice things!" all the time!
When we had an outdoor cat it was even worse; he was one of our favorite cats, but he liked to catch snakes and other strange creatures to bring home. He must have thought we were helpless humans who couldn't hunt!
What kinds of gifts does your cat like to bring you?
