Maria and I received a housewarming gift from the next door neighbor's cat, Mooch. When I got back from my walk this morning the cat was sitting on our patio and next to it was a little bloodied bird. As I approached the cat ran away, and the little bird just sat there. It was still alive but very much injured. There was nothing I could do, so I stepped inside.
After I removed my shoes a looked out the patio windows and saw that Mooch was now playing with the injured bird instead of killing it. But the bird managed to flutter away under the power of one injured but operational wing. I did not see where it went, but the cat followed it and I did not see how the quarrel ended.
To Mooch,
Maria and I appreciate the gesture, but wish you would have gotten us something more useful. Even if the bird had been dead, there wasn't enough meat on it to have a meal. Next time, bring a fruit basket or something.
