Joy! Just Not For Everyone...

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Network Realty BK 3030920

It's in my profile that I'm the quirky female owner of several furry felines (aka: crazy cat lady), and so I occasionally wake up to find "gifts" on my doormat.

The irony of this message, however, I felt had to be shared, since it was so poignant, and so wrong on so many different levels.

Oh, and for the record, this is exactly how it was placed, I did not move anything to make it more photogenic.

Your cat is artistic!  My step-cat usually brings home bunnies.  Bunnies with no heads,it would make for a grizzly photo.

I didn't know cat's to read, guess her way of expressing Joy.  My cat loved to leave me gifts as well and when it was a rat .. it got extra praise .. or joy.  Perfect photo opportunity!

Carol - I had a black cat by the name of Sabu, who was extremely smart and a prolific hunter.  He also hated men, who visited.  Once I had a computer tech come to my home for a couple hours.  When it came time for the tech to leave, there were 2 mice, 1 squirrel, 1 mole, and a bird, laying on the doormat.  Sabu sat nearby to tell me, he could provide for me better:-)

Navona: I have never had a bunny, but since we have rats, I think this is my 5th or 6th...

Rene: Happy New Year to you as well!

Maureen: Yes, headless bunnies would be gross. I will say, this particular rat disappeared by the time I went to the gym 30 minutes later...

Connie: Glad you enjoyed it as well - I could not believe it! And, it was my female, as both boys were in the house last night...I think...

Laura:   There is something so Jersey about this photo, probably why I had to take a picture (originally from Bergen County!)

Myrl: They definitely let us know, don't they? That is quite the head count for a few hours, I have to say!
