It's their way of saying, "See this?! This is what YOU are supposed to be doing! Quit messing around with that lame stuff in cans and bags!"
I know I've gaggingly cleaned up my fair share of dead rodentia. Were they gifts? Or were they lessons?
I may have gotten clue.
Last week, I told of the Scrubjay couple currently making the cat's life a living hell whenever he's outside. The saga continues.
Recall that I also confessed to sometimes lobbing a lacrosse ball at the annoying birds to scare them off. The cat seems very appreciative of my tosses and often "asks" me to not only let him outside, but to also accompany him.
But he can't pay me enough to be his 24-hour bodyguard, and I typically leave him to suffer through it.
Yesterday, I came upon this:
It's the lacrosse ball, sitting prominently on the back doorstep. I asked Magnum if he put it there, but no.
Clearly, Napolion put it there, and it's probably a message to me, much like a dead rodent.
"THIS is what you're supposed to be doing!"

Suddenly the dead shrew I found today displayed by my car makes more sense. I complain about the varmints in my yard and one of the neighborhood cats is trying to teach me something. Of course it would be easier for me if the cats would take out the groundhogs and rabbits themselves.
That Napolion. He’s a smart one. I think you know what you need to do now...
"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear!"
Yes. My mission, if I choose to accept...
Yes I think it's a very clear message, you need to toss a few more balls. You know you love it really.
Well, it is nice to be appreciated.
There was a news story about a cat who kept stealing things from people in the neighborhood and bringing them home. The owners would just tell neighbors to stop on by if they were missing something.
That's hilarious... and totally believable.
