Oh boy, how lucky am I. My cats mostly sleep all night. :-) Though I confess once or twice I've heard the definite sounds of hairball gakking and just turned over and pretended I didn't...
How odd--and how cute!Our cat has started bring fruit from our neighbors yard, two nights in a row it was pears, last night it was 3 apples and 2 pears...what the heck is that about? I'm thinking that since my husband pealed and ate the last pear, kk figured he'd like apples too. I have heard of cats stealing things and storing them in hiding places, or bringing something they killed, but never fruit.
Oh that reminds me!Iris hasn't done this in awhile, but she used to always leave her soft mice on my pillow!
That is a great story!!! So cute, I love your routine with Pinkie and Tabby.Oh that reminds me!
Tabby doesn't do this at night; she does it during dinner. She has a tiny little pink mouse called Pinkie. Pinkie no longer has a tail, nor does she have her eyes anymore. She's missing quite a bit of her fur now, too. But Tabby loves Pinkie and when she can't find her, she'll walk around the house meowing for Pinkie. That's our cue to start looking for her. And Pinkie could be anywhere in the house; we have a devil of a time finding her sometimes.
Anyway, while we're eating dinner, Tabby will bring Pinkie to the kitchen table. She'll jump up on the table and come over between Rick and me. And plop Pinkie right down on the table between us. And then she'll walk over to the pink blankie on the table and lay down. We say Thank You! and tell her what a good girl she is. Tabby will start to purr and then she'll fall asleep. It's like she knows that Pinkie will be safe with us while we're eating dinner! And after dinner while we're cleaning off the table, I'll pick up Pinkie and put her on the blankie next to Tabby so she's right there when Tabby awakens from her nap.
I know.....cats on the table while we're eating. But, oh well.
My Neffie brings me toy mice and rats too! She puts them in the food bowls also. I try not to think of this when its sitting on my pillow!Neffie brings me her mousies at night at leaves them right behind me so that I roll on top of them. It's the most uncomfortable thing I've ever experienced. But she's my little sweetie so I never get upset about it I just pet her and put her mouse on the night stand.
