Throughout 2025 my cat, Abe, has taken it upon himself to “go hunting” and bring me his spoils. True story: One morning I awoke to the sound of chirping IN MY OWN BED and it was a tiny motionless bird that my cat had dragged in.
This morning I awoke to the sound of my cat cornering a mouse (or a rodent of some sort) in my shower. He managed to chase it into the clothing hamper. I then proceeded to lift the hamper and try and take the tiny mammal outside. Frightened, that was when the rat came SCURRYING UPWARD AND OUT of the hamper and up the side of a doorframe. Now my cat is in a standoff with the rat high above him, a rat frozen in fear. I am similarly frozen in fear and decided to do nothing and instead write a blog post while this situation plays itself out.
