Yuk, I awoke to find a mouse-in one of my shoes!!!!

[the ringo kid]

Anyone ever have a cat that acts like a dog? or ever wondered what one looks like? well, soon as I can get pics to Jenniffer, you will see her in action.

I awoke this morning tried to get ready for an early shift-put on one shoe-tried to put on another-only to discover that Sandy--gave me a squishy disgusting little grey surprise. It was gross to say the least. Some time during the night, that sneaky little kitten (well, not so little now-she's gonna be a giant for as much as she eats!!) put a mouse in one of my shoes. I had not seen the tiny critter before trying to slip on my left shoe-nor had I dreamed Sandy would think of placing one in my shoe to begin with?!?!?!?!?!

Luckily for me though, the mouse was only a toy mouse laced with catnip.

Sandy actually likes to fetch. Has a favorite toy. Ill splain more later.

OK, its now a bit later-I had to type the above first.

Sandy, will bring that mouse to me wanting me to toss it somewhere so she can fetch it. Sandy-puts on her dog act, and will continuously go fetch that mouse bringing it to me no matter how many times I throw it around. Even dogs will get tired of this routine-but this kitten sure does not seem to. Whats next? will she start barking too?? Now-Sandy already eats as much as a dog-or even a small Horse--so I'm going to venture a guess that yeah, one of these days, I fully expect her to start with barking.

Anyone else here have a strange cat like mine? This cat already likes to swing on my bathroom shower curtains.

BTW, this cat also likes to take showers when I do. What's up with that??? I thought cats--well, normal cats-hated getting wet-this one doesn't seem to mind.

My neighbor's cat loves to share. Even though we never met, he likes to leave a dead mouse or two on my front entrance! However..... I've never actually seen one. My neighbor's kid makes sure to pick them up! Only reason I know is because I've been told by several people

I'm glad that's all Sandy seems to want to share-for now. )

In over 35 years of rescuing cats, I have had a wide array of critters proudly deposited on my doorstep.

The two best were Sophie bringing a garden snake coiled around her head and Pud with a live bat in his jaws.

Both times Ruthie sounded like the shift whistle at the Slate Construction Co. She was not impressed.

As long as it is not a scorpion in your shoe, or a snake in your sleeping bag.

I remember being in Houston at my grandmothers house. We were eating breakfast in the kitchen-several of us were there. All of a sudden she jumped into another chair doing that TV scardy dance-holding her skirts-imitating Ruthie--and I never laughed so much--my face was soaked with tears. Sadly, I got punished for laughing. I couldn't figger why/ after all-it was only one-tiny white mouse. I caught it-and went to my punishment station (out in the backyard) and played with the mouse till I got tired of it-and let it go to scare someone else.

My mom had a cat that would leave dead mice at her front door, and when she didn't catch any, would leave small brown spruce cones. I think she thought my mom wouldn't know the difference.

And years ago I had a cat that would come running from wherever it was to greet me when I got home, just like a dog.

If it were my shoes, it would have died.

I had a pal when I was four or five. Johnny. He was from a rich family and a spoiled brat, though he was on the whole nice enough to me. Had really great toys. Famous, too, for his incessant whining and promiscuous fibbing.

Well, for some reason he got parked at our house overnight. Next morning at breakfast, as my mom is rushing to make breakfast for everyone, my dad preparing for work and us kids for school, Johnny, sitting next to me, starts up with the whining.

“Miz Brown,” he says plaintively to my harried mom, “there’s a mouse in my bowl.”

Mom sez, “Johnny, you be quiet now and eat your cereal.”

“But Miz Brown,” Johnny whines, “there’s a mouse in my bowl.”

Mom sez, “C’mon, Johnny. Be quiet and eat breakfast!”

I lean over and take a peek in Johnny’s bowl. Sure enough. A mouse is lying in there. Cool as a cucumber. Motionless.

I speak up and vouch for the guy. “Mom, there is a mouse in Johnny’s bowl!”

Dad starts laughing. Sister is amazed! Mom comes over and looks in the bowl. Sure enough.

Don’t recall what happend to the mouse. Probably got pitched into the back yard for a dog treat.

We later concluded that the mouse must have been in the cupboard and knocked unconscious when mom grabbed the cereal bowls.

For a five year old, it was a pretty cool breakfast.

I got stuck with a kitten once. She was a cool little cat and when I came home I had to play fetch with her. She was quite the acrobat and could catch things in the air. First grabbing it with her front claws and then putting it in her mouth before landing.

I liked that cat.

Our last cat used to catch Geckos in the back yard and bring them in the house. if we didn't notice she had one when letting her back in the fun really began. I really can't explain what it's like to try and catch a loose Gecko in your house as they're fast and good at hiding. And of course the cat would have nothing to do with re-catching them once they were loose inside!

My misses hates the fresh meat market at our door step. Moles, half eaten mice, birds with no heads etc. but they earn there keep. Crows and turkeys are on the menu too. Fresh tree rats too.

With shoes I check all the time. It’s play toys so far like balls and little mice. I been lucky.

We had a cat that would leave dead birds at our front door, I hung a bell around his neck, that was the end of his bird catching.[emoji1]

B.A. Cat come in out of the dark and plops a wharf rat right in the middle of the floor. He was wondering why we were so upset since he brought it for everybody.

My wife had a friend who was telling a lifelong New York City guy about her cat bringing her chipmunks and leaving them on the front step. He replied CHIPMUNKS!!! you must live in the wilderness.

Murray was my cat when I was in undergraduate school.

Every morning Murray would hide under the bed and when I put my feet on the ground in the morning would leap out, wrap his front paws around my ankle and bite me on the foot. He could not be denied his morning attack on my foot.

I tried putting on cowboy boots before getting out of bed in the morning. Murray knew I’d have to expose my naked feet some time since I had to put on pants eventually so he’d hide and leap out and bite my foot while I was dressing.

Murray ended up with Mom and Dad when I went off to graduate school. He kept up his ankle biting focusing on Mom.

One morning Murray made the mistake of trying to bite Dad’s ankle. Murray gave up his ankle biting from then on.

Lol we've never met! Although I saw him once when he was sitting by the window. Maybe he....or she....I'm not sure, likes my dog
