Thanksgiving Dinner- Here Kitty Kitty

Queen Anne MD. November 27, 2021
We were preparing Thanksgiving dinner, and my sister's cat decided that she would not be excluded from the feast. Sweet little Felix proudly displayed his catch, a large field mouse. The plump mouse twitched and let out mouse shrieks as Felix shook the life out of the little guy. He'd shake and slam the critter to the ground. It the mouse moved, rest and repeat. One minute, prancing across the field minding his own business. The next, being eaten alive. Felix ripped the mouse open, exposing the innards. We watched in horror through the patio doors. Felix seemed to have a process, picking one bloody organ over another, meticulously ripping the mouse to shreds, chewing and swallowing one mouse piece after another until all that was left was a small pool of mice debris. It was a bloodbath. My appetite was gone, along with all thoughts of ever acquiring a cat. Here kitty... kitty.
