she's much better today, but really sore. I found out last night her
sister had a mild stroke last night (sigh) what is it with relatives?

I hope both your mother and aunt have speedy recoveries, Steve.

Just a few minutes ago, Magnus appeared at the sunroom door, with a bird
in his mouth. (The sunroom has an exit into the backyard, and doors into
the family room).  He was very adamant about bringing it into the main
part of the house.  It was a female cardinal, alas, which we quickly
disposed of.  This is his first kill, and I wouldn't be surprised if he
goes off for more, because he's been intrigued by birds since he was a
kitten.  From now on, he's only going to be allowed outside at night.

He made not have been the culprit.  The roommate who lives in the Anne
Room saw the bird this morning, dead.  So I don't know if Magnus killed
it or not.

So he may have just found it and decided to claim the kill? ;) It's not
too bad until he tries to bring a still live one back into the house-
Alex did that once. He got MOST cranky when I wouldn't let him in.

Heh, the Anne Room, I like that. Kind of the the Rose Room or Lincoln
Bedroom. :)

Is it possible the Loki Monster killed the bird?

I would guess not likely, neither she nor Max seem all that interested
in birds. Though Loki will ocassionally eat spiders.

re #135 not all that interested in live meat?  Is Loki a vegetarian or
something?  :)

You can be a carnivore and still not like live meat.

You can also be a dog and not connect birds with food...

For cats, hunting is instinct.  Actually eating the prey is taught!  Weird,
but true.

IBB the Alito filibuster failed, only twenty five senators signed on.  
Alito's acscenion to the Court is all but assured.

response 146 of 318: Mark Unseen   Jan 31 14:13 UTC 2006

resp:139 - Is that universally true?  My friend's cat, Baby, didn't have
the opportunity to really get outside until his people moved to their
current home.  Now he brings carcasses home, eats part of them and
leaves the rest on their porch. *shudder*

resp:133 - The Anne Room.  We often refer to that room as "Anne's Old
Room" when making a distinction from the other bedrooms, so it seemed
appropriate.

I suppose he could have just claimed the kill.  The condition of the
bird, having absolutely no visible signs pointing to cause of death,
makes it impossible to determine if Magnus killed it, or it it ran into
the patio, the walls of which (Anne knows, anyway) is entirely made of
glass windows and sliding doors.

re resp:146 Nearly universally true- though of course, the exception
must prove the rule. ;)

I know people who bring home carcasses from the store and put them in the
refrigerator and then even eat part of them.

Heh, when I was a kid I was told my dad had purchased half a cow... So I
honestly thought that it meant we would get half a cow- feet, skin and
everything. This worried me and yet I was relieved when I found out that
no, it didn't come that way.

IBB- my stupid shoulder is bothering me again.

Actually, half a cow would be pretty neat!
