    My cat brought back a weasel... Those suckers are hyperfast *and* mean.

      Blas...at least the cat didn't leave the present in your bed

      But seriously, my cat (or rather *Grandma's* cat), Kitty...was always leaving various critters on the porch after he'd caught them. You name it, he brought it--field mice, moles, frogs, ducklings, birds, snakes, baby geese--for her to see, and so she'd tell him he was a "good kitty." He knew, that if he got the moles that were ripping up the yard...he'd get a treat and some petting. Then he'd get a new 'toy' to play with. Grandma was less amused with finding bits of critter all over the clean porch! Kitty would spend hours batting his catches all over the place before eating them.

        re: B.Kliban -- I need to see about re-acquiring his books. His came in the 70's and (I think maybe) late 60's, and apparently pioneered the comic book format now known as "Garfield Format" (elongated rectangular books that don't seem to fit well on shelves (At least, at first), so they had to put them on special racks up by the registers. Oh darn.

        Note - Some of Kliban's stuff is R-Rated/NSFW, even in the Cat books

        a friend of mine's grandparent had a cat named Cooking Fat.
        For some reason, this reminds me of an oooooooooold Garfield comic. Jon and Lyman (that should give you an idea of how long ago this was) were talking about the pack of cats that the latter grew up with...

        Jon: What were there names?
        Lyman: Lessee, there was "Cat", "Cat", "Cat", "Cat", and "Cat".
        Jon: No names?
        Lyman: What's the use in naming an animal that won't come when you call it?

        * Lyman has been gone from the comic for...decades...as I recall, tho he did have a recent cameo as a picture in Jon's newspaper. He was Jon's roomie as of the time of the above gag.
