Purr-esent

The cats appear to have noticed that Night-Time Feeding Human is no longer around and Morning-Time Feeding Human is quite miserable about it and not concentrating on the important matters of domestic life i.e their endless cycle of eating and sleeping, so they decided to cheer me up by leaving me a present.

Specifically, a dead mouse carefully placed by my Morrissey book.

At least, I hope that’s the reasoning and it’s not a Mafia-style warning sign. As I am now the only vegetarian in the house, they may be plotting against me. The symbolic juxtaposition of Moz and Dead Mouse are hard to miss.

Maybe I should start locking my bedroom door.

    Worry not, it was a present. They wanted you to notice the gift, hence the juxaposition. Locking the door just means they’ll leave stuff placed between bedroom and bathroom doors, so you’ll stand on it with bare feet.

    If they were plotting against you, they would have knocked over (and broken) anything containing alcohol.

    Or puked in your shoes.

    Or left the mouse hidden inside the guitar.

    Charming critters, just like the Oldham Chapter.

    If they were plotting against you, they wouldn’t give you any hints before they hit you. This is just a present, or perhaps a suggestion to come over to the dark side and start eating meat…..
