The cost of cats

[desperance]

There has been a fly in the house today. Between them, the boys have notched up one (1) box of eggs [Mac] and one (1) much-valued china bowl [Barry] in their frankly reckless pursuit of the thing. I would have hung up its trophy head regardless of the expense, but alas: Mac caught me the fly, but he eated it.

I do feel mildly revenged, though. Their tea-tin said "tuna flakes", but it wasn't. "Undifferentiated mush", I would have called it; in a restaurant, I would have sent it back. They're eating it anyway, and I'm sneering at them.

outdoor cats...

They usually eat bugs, rodents, birds, snakes, lizards, and then throw it all up on the carpet (if they don't sneak it into the house alive and kicking) :/ Or, ideally, onto the clean laundry. Perhaps in your shoe or on your pillow if they are ticked off because the litter box isn't sparkling clean.

A friend who has cats was once baffled by the remains of a bird in the house. He is used to finding bits and pieces on the floor - but this day he found blood and feathers on the ceiling!
He suspects the use of hand grenades.

And I note that you weren't remotely tempted to do this http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=146684&in_page_id=34 .

Some people need to die slowly and painfully. He is one of them.

My three had their annual booster vaccinations and check-ups this week. £190.00. No comment.
But: The History press are apparently about to pay me (yay, money...).
