Our Cats are Concerned

Our cats are concerned about our lack of understanding of basic anatomy. Of course house cats that go outdoors will often leave dead animals, a kind of offering to its den-mates, on the doorstep, but these cats like to leave viscera, which appear to be neatly removed from the prey’s Body. A single tiny liver, neatly snipped out. A stomach, just a stomach. A length of intestine. A heart. All closely resembling human viscera but like doll-house miniatures. It’s like having Jack the Ripper as a pet. I expect a note attached to the viscera soon, “From hell”…

  1. Our cats once left a rabbit head in the middle of the kitchen floor. They brought it though the cat door. It was setting upright and staring at me as I came down for breakfast as though it was peaking through a hole in the floor. Cats have a weird sense of humor.
