This morning I was getting ready for work and my partner said casually, “boy, that stuffed mouse you got Owl (the cat) sure is realistic”.
All of Owl’s toys are neon green or red.
This was not a toy.
Owl was very proud of himself.
He ran down the stairs and waited for me to throw it.
Owl got extra breakfast and petting.
I got to dispose of the mouse.
I no longer buy non-neon mousies, ever since the time my boyfriend picked up his shorts in the morning to put them on and said, “Your cat’s leaving me gifts in my pants… Oh, hell, that’s not a toy…”
Hee.
