I can't believe I'm writing this.
Fucking HELL.
This is utterly horrendous.
Last night our cat caught and dismembered a mouse.
We found the corpse after school.
It was just a lump of bloody tissue and a spleen or something kidney shaped. Anyway…
At bedtime my DD came out in tears and said that before I came in and cleaned up the bloody mess from the rug, she had spotted the lump of red goo on the carpet and she thought it was fruity jelly or something sweet that her little sister had pinched.
So SHE STUCK HER FUCKING FINGER IN THE BLOOD/GOO and licked it and now she’s convinced she’s going to die.
Having Googled all the diseases that mice can carry, she might have a point.
Consuming 12 hour old raw mouse blood can’t be good.
I’m going to have to call 111 aren't I, incase she gets Hantavirus or plague.
I'm reluctant to do so as the last time I had to call 111 was when the younger child had a snail in one hand and a biscuit in the other and accidentally chomped on the wrong thing and I spent two hours on hold waiting to find out if I needed to take her to the vets
for Roundworm/lungworm meds.
Fucking hell, I could do without this!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
The cat seems fine so guess the child will be too. He ate more!
