What the Cat Dragged In

[Val Beechey]

Not detecting related but I thought I'd share.  Just done my rounds before bed time and wondered what the dogs where eyeing up under the chair in the conservatory. Upon investigation, I looked and thought Ughhh what the hecks THAT ?  being very brave I pushed it into the light with my foot. Yes it's a Chicken Breast.
Now I know it's not one of mine and it wasn't there at Tea Time so I can only assume one of the cats has pinched it from somewhere.  It must have been frozen because only a bit on the end has been nibbled.
I often joke about them bringing in the provisions but this is a new one. Thats what I call being useful. How well trained is your cat ?

That reminds me of the funniest thing I've ever seen. Like I said I often praise them for bringing in the provisions because I read somewhere that if you did they would get used to 'giving' them to you. Well it worked with mine, too well. They often bring in live stock that runs for cover as soon as they drop it and then the dogs give chase and it usually ends up dead.
John had gone to bed one night and I, as usual, was flitting about doing bits and bobs before I retired. I had just gone back into the kitchen when I heard a huge roar. As I turned John shot out of the bedroom, stark naked, shouting at the top of his voice, IT'S A RAT, IT'S A RAT.
He'd settled down with his book and suddenly felt something on his shoulder. Panic. Panic. Panic.
Anyway it wasn't a rat, it was a bank vole. We found it, eventually, under the bed, scared out of it's wits.
Happy ending. I took it out and returned it to the field. One experience he'll never forget, nor me.

Nice story Val. One of our 3 cats is 23 years old and has a peculiar taste in food. For instance one of his favourites is cheese. A couple of days ago I came back into the living room to find his head completely in my large bag of Nacho Cheese Tortilla Snowmen. A poke of the bag and out came his head with bits of tortilla chips hanging from the corner of his mouth. Lol.
