Been in bed with a migraine all day with Dr Tonks by my side looking after me. Just starting to perk up so she's brought me a mouse to complete my treatment. Swiftly followed by another one 20 minutes later 🐭

I daren't fall asleep just in case my prescription is for 3 mice! Can't lock the cat flap as big boy cat is out in the rain. How can I persuade her I'm all better?!

Picture of the doctor for tax reasons.

Hmm pic won't attach! Will try later but she's out mousing again...

No pic. But it is very sweet that your cat is that worried about you, and wants to build you up. (Yuk)

Aha! Pic attached finally.

Well, we're on mouse number 3 (she must have found a nest) but this one was clearly not for me - I got growled at when I tried to remove it, so I've shooed her out with her prize.

Fingers crossed that is it for the night ...

Beautiful cat! Needing rest before the next hunting expedition in order to keep her human alive 😂

Toddlerteaplease · 19/08/2023 03:15

Oh how sweet of her to be looking after you. But I'd have to burn the house down!

And this is why I don't have a cat Grin

it's a busy time of year !
Mine are bringing me frogs of all things.
Maybe because I'm on my own their hoping I meet my Prince charming !
I am back and forth to the nearby woods returning them.
Hope your feeling better soon.

Your cat is both gorgeous and talented. I'd be very proud 😹.

Mice are fast as fuck so she’s a very clever girl.

One of my cats brought me a mouse when I was in labour with my first child and very close to going to hospital/giving birth. This was rather problematic because DH is very much not the mouse catcher in our household (he hates mice and spiders, so I'm the official mouse and spider catcher) and I genuinely thought I was going to have to try to catch it while in the middle of intense contractions... thankfully DH rose to the occasion! 🤣

Jayneisagirlsname · 19/08/2023 08:22

Thankfully she stopped at 4 and just came in with hundreds of grass seeds stuck to her instead!

I love that cats know when we're not 100% (whether it's ill or in labour Grin). I imagine them sighing deeply, heaving themselves up, muttering darkly about useless humans and heading out to provide for us!

I have had stern words about a full nights sleep tonight though...
