Cats do the darndest things

This is Cleo, she has always had an interest in going outside. Usually, she would try to sneak past us whenever we would open the door. Recently, Amy and I decided to let her out in the back yard to explore. Her cat-like instincts took over right away. Dead animals started appearing next to the back door, half eaten of course. I guess it's her way of saying "look what I did, you can have the rest!" She has turned into quite the little hunter. Sometimes, Cleo likes to come in and hang out with us. It turns out that her hunting skills are put to the test while indoors as well. For example, the other day I noticed that the cats were hungry so I went into the room where their food is kept. I had their food dish in one hand and with the other hand I reached into the bag of food to grab a handful. While grabbing a handful I felt something furry, "What could it be?" I thought. Possibly the cat food company put a cat toy in there as some kind of promotion. I looked into the bag of food only to find, not one, but two dead mice. I guess Cleo killed them then put them in the bag of food so that I would serve them up as a snack at a later time. No such luck, needless to say, I threw the mice away.

Are you nuts!?!?!?! There are cat essential fibers, vitamins, riboflavin and whatnot in a dead mouse. Your poor, poor depraved kitties...
