Recently, my big Tabby Alex has been very sick. I had to syringe feed him and give him meds twice a day for the last month and a half. He is much better now, but still very thin.
Last night, hubby and I were lying in bed side by side, and Alex came up and laid on my chest. He was purring and giving me head-butt kisses.
Hubby said, "He sure does love you!". I remarked that I didn't know why, since I had been forcing stuff down him for so long. Hubby said, "Because he knows that you saved his life"
I drifted off to sleep knowing that Alex loves me.
Then, at 4:15 we were awakened by Alex by my head making snorting and wheezing noises and shaking his head. He came down by my side and I told hubby that I was worried about Alex. I encouraged him to come up on my chest so I could feel his breathing. He did. And then he dropped a MOUSE right on my FACE!!!
OMG! I totally freaked out, jumped out of bed and turned on the light! Of course the mouse was gone!
Poor Alex was very disappointed that I didn't like his gift and let it get away.
I guess it's a good sign that he feels well enough to hunt....
yuck
