#41 My Cat’s Triumphant Trophy
Being a devoted cat owner, I have grown to expect the unusual when it comes to the presents my feline friend decides would be best for me. But today, my great hunter has really beyond himself, giving me a prize that has left me both in awe and rather uncomfortable.
My cat boldly walked into the room, their catch securely in their jaws, glistening in their eyes and radiating unbroken pride. As if anticipating a wave of applause, I stared, fascinated yet nervous as they gently set their gift at my feet.
And what a prize it was: a little but incredibly strong mouse with black eyes darting about, apparently unconcerned by its new situation, and whirlings of whiskers. The hunting abilities of my cat astounded me; their ability to track and grab their prey with such simple elegance.
Still, I felt a sense of remorse and discomfort as I stared at the mouse. Though I know the natural order of things and the instinctive desire driving my cat to hunt, there is always a part of me wishing they might find a less… horrific means of show their love.
Still, I find this evidence of their relentless dedication to running our home. Their award reminds us of their relentless efforts to guarantee our safety and well-being; they are our custodian of our realm and defender of our refuge.
So, I am proud and grateful for my cat’s amazing hunting skills as I gently scoop up the mouse and gently release it back into the big outdoors. Though they may not be the most traditional of pets, their great loyalty and unbounded love are really wonderful gifts from which I would not swap anything in the world.
