The Mighty Hunter
We now have a hunting cat in our family. Leo (short for Leonidas)is my oldest son's cat. Since Mason is deployed to Japan in the Marines, Leo gets to live with us. Until this summer, Leo was an all inside cat. Now he knows the fun of the big outdoors. Our other cats have always either been crappy hunters or not inclined to give presents to the humans.
Yesterday morning, that changed. On the front porch was a gift from a feline. I suspected Leo, but it could have been one of the other cats. Last night all doubt was eliminated. I called the cats to see if anyone wanted to sleep in the house and everyone but Leo responded. On the last check before laying down, I saw Leo running toward the door. On the front step he paused to drop a present for me, you could see the pride in his posture.
After petting him and giving him the "good kitty" I quickly stepped outside and put the night crawler (yes a huge worm) into the garden.
