oreo with the gift she brought me, originally uploaded by estacey.

look what oreo brought me last night, just as i was falling asleep (at around 1 a.m.)!

it was dark, so i just felt her jump up in bed. "hey, sweetie!" i said. then i felt something, um, rubbery. that would've been the tail, i assume. i jumped up. turned the light on.

there's oreo, with a dead rat/mouse/whatever. she was so happy and rolling around on the bed, much the way cats do when you give them catnip. pawing at the poor, dead rodent.

it was pretty, well, unpleasant. but really, she was trying to bring me one of her favorite things - a dead critter! you gotta be touched just a little by that.

in unrelated news, i gotta see if the animal aid people will put her up for adoption at the petsmart. i feel really bad, like i'm abandoning her, but the roomie don't like her and she's still scaring my cats. poor elliot is reverting and has become so skittish again; i can't do that to him. she'll be an excellent pet for someone - so loving, such a lap cat. i just hope she finds one soon.
