7/28/2006: Cat is glove thief

My cats are fascinated by anything that resembles a mouse tail, but terrified by anything that resembles a snake! I know, this is a very fine distinction. Shoelaces are considered "mice tails", while a belt is considered a "snake." Etc.

I feel sad for people who don't like cats!

I love cats. They taste like chicken.

My mother had a Russian blue cat who did the same thing. Rajie would bring home freshly cooked meat (we don't know where he was stealing it from) T bone steaks, sausages, chops, chicken all kinds of BBQ meats. Some of them still hot from the BBQ. He would place them at the foot of my Mum and Dads bed. They came in at all times of the night. My other cat Kimberley who lives at my parents place, brings home rats with their head bitten off as a gift. Not a very nice gift to find early in the morning when you are eating breakfast.

My Douglas is a fussy little fella. He doesn't like food that involves a lot of chewing - he prefers to chase a bite size piece of steak around the house then eat it. He has a weaknesss for junk food, especially cheesels (much the same as me

) . He was a stray kitten and very skittish when we first got him, so he used to hide in my room whenever we had visitors. But he alwas crept out when he smelled the cheesels!

If our cats caught a mouse in the house, (or sneaked one in) would always leave them outside the door to the darkroom. That was the only room in the house they weren't allowed in. Bribe?
