I sympathise, OP. I, myself, had a run-in with my female slave just last night. I'd caught a VERY yummy shrew in the garden and brought it home to play with. It was cold outside and I didn't want to stay out if I could help it.
Well, my slave came over and I thought she wanted to play, so I showed her where my shrew was hiding and she brought a box over. It was so much fun, playing hunting with my slave (cos although she is my slave I do have a level of affection for her, and love spending time with her).
So, we chased the shrew into the kitchen and it eventually tucked itself into the clothes that were lying on the floor next to the horrid noisy thing (why do they insist on having so many noisy objects around the place? They hurt my ears!). You can guess what happened next, can't you? She picked up the clothes, together with my shrew, and put them OUTSIDE the house. And she locked me in so I couldn't go and retrieve it!
Turns out the insolent wench wasn't really trying to hunt my shrew at all, she just wanted to save it!!!!! WTAF?!?!? What's the fun in that?
My male slave is away at the moment. I'm sure I must be wasting away in his absence cos he gives me far more treats than the female. She is in need of further training, I fear. He is funny, though. Thinks he can hunt better than I can. But he cheats, and uses strange things called 'traps', whilst I use teeth and claws. I am thus, obviously, the superior hunter.
