Story 2: the bird incident Like most cats, Alex loved hunting small animals and bringing them into the house. Our house had a big backyard with lots of plants, so she had plenty of prey to choose from. The first things she brought in were june bugs. For those who don't live in California, june bugs are these big-rear end armored flying beetles:  They were so big that she couldn't get a good grip on them in her mouth, so once she carried one in it would escape and fly all over the house making an awful buzzing noise and flying into people. This was kind of gross, but we learned how to avoid them, and then the bugs became hours of cat-amusement as she stalked it through the house. Eventually the bug would tire out and either she'd eat it, or we'd throw it in the trash. When she got older, she discovered mice. The first few times she brought in a mouse we didn't mind so much, because she hadn't fully figured out the cat-mouse relationship. She'd haul one in, let it go, it would run around in a panic, and we'd shoo it back out. This got pretty annoying, so we put a small bell on her collar to give any mice a heads-up. Then she started hunting birds, which was pretty distressing because birds are much more fragile than mice. You'd just be walking through the living room and see a decapitated sparrow behind a chair. I got real good at cleaning blood out of a carpet. After the second or third dead bird, Alex was given a much larger and noisier bell. With the new bell, Alex made a cute jingling noise when she walked, and couldn't sneak up on anything. For a couple months, we had peace. She ignored mice and bugs because birds were more fun, and she couldn't catch birds because the bell was so loud. Then, one day, I came home from school to discover chaos. The rugs were all topsy-turvey. poo poo was knocked off of counters. The dog was hiding in a corner. And laying amidst the mess was a dusting of feathers. Then I hear something. In context, it was one of the worst sounds imaginable. There was a LIVE pigeon cooing somewhere nearby. Tracking this unwelcome noise I discover Alex in my parent's bedroom, crouched and obviously terrified. Backed into a corner, her fur was puffed out to maximum and her ears were all the way back. Her eyes were wide open, like a little kid who had just been strapped into a roller coaster. In front of her was a pigeon that was at least as big as the cat, if not bigger. It was the biggest loving pigeon I've ever seen. I have no idea how she even fit it through the pet door, much less caught it. And it was seriously pissed off. Artist's impression:  In a panic, I grab a towel from the bathroom and throw it over the pigeon. It flips out. Then ALEX flips out. She's hissing and trying to jump on the heaving towel and feathers are flying everywhere and I'm wondering how I'm going to explain to mom that our cat was killed by a giant pigeon. Eventually I manage to corral Alex into a closet and close the door. The pigeon-towel is carried to a door and flung onto the lawn, where it releases its fearsome captive. Alex went back to hunting bugs, and never brought in another bird.

Aww, these Alex stories are adorable. Our wildish cat brought a live pigeon in once. Only a baby one though. He loved bringing birds home. Sometimes alive, sometimes in pieces.

this post was going to be story 3 but I just threw out a bag full of old cat toys so story time isn't going to happen tonight. I'm keeping this one. it was one of the first toys we got her, and easily her favorite. it's a catnip mouse that's been chewed on, disemboweled, re-emboweled and sewed together, and chewed on some more. sometimes she would carry it to you, meow, and drop it at your feet, asking to play fetch. even da bird was second place behind her mouse.
