on presents

[xparrot]

*yawn* Kitties woke me at 7 AM, a couple hours before I had to be up - they'd somehow gotten into a bag of Christmas ribbons and bows, and Anna was coming and depositing bows on my chest. Christmas ribbons are surprisingly loud when pushed into your face by an eager kitty. After the second or third one I staggered out of bed to find the bag and stash it in the closet where I thought it had been all along (how they found it now, months later, is one of those feline mysteries.) I should consider myself lucky that they weren't just eating the bows (Anna especially loves eating shiny things and plastic. We have to be very careful about not leaving plastic bags around because she will, given the chance, tear them up and devour them. Unsurprisingly her digestive track does not appreciate such avant garde gourmet.)

...Also am lucky that we don't have mice. Or tarantulas. Because I suspect Anna would want to share those spoils with me as well, and that would be a much less adorable way to wake up.

In mostly unrelated news, in the pre-cat morning I was dreaming that I was reading/playing Homestuck. It actually made significantly more sense...

Funny, that's the topic of this week's cat vs human. XD

My cat likes to bring me presents, too, but fortunately she leaves them on the floor. One morning I woke up to discover she'd dragged a mousetrap (yes, with a dead mouse in it) into my room. ("Thank you, but please never do that again.")

Whahah to the comic! And heh to the mousetrap - when a mouse alone isn't enough! Yeah, we're lucky we don't have mice; the only live prey they get is little moths and spiders, and Anna eats those before she can present them ^^

Mice: one of the hazards of living in a basement. :/

I just imagine Wednesday being SO proud of herself ("Look what I found! Look what I found") bringing that mousetrap to me, haha.

When I lived in Japan, Choco was really good at catching cockroaches. (Which is sort of awful, but sort of good.) But spiders and moths are beneath her, I guess. XD

She probably thought she was doing you a favor, bringing the mice right to you! Isn't she a thoughtful kitty? ^^
