Enough with the mice already!

Okay, the mouse thing has got to stop. I got up this morning and went into the litter room to scoop the pans, and saw what I thought was a hairball on the floor. In a house full of cats, this is not an unusual thing. But - it was bloody. Oh man. Is someone bleeding internally? How am I going to figure out who? This is all going through my mind, along with wondering how in the world I was going to get all five of my cats to the vet at once to be checked out if I couldn't figure out who it came from, and man! What the heck! Then, when I scooped it up and put it in the cat litter trash bag, I noticed weird things in it, yellowy colored things, including one thing that kind of looked like a larval form of something. So I actually got my camera out and took pictures of it, thinking that since I had to work today, maybe I could e-mail the pictures to the vet so that they could try to tell me what in the world it was, and if my cat was going to die or what.

Then I walked out to the dining room, and found a mouse head on the floor. Someone (presumably Sable, since she is the ex-barn cat) had caught and killed a mouse, and then torn its head off and eaten its body. Then threw it up. Yuuuuuuck! But at least no one is dying (well, except for the mice). And Sable is going to the vet Thursday to have her shots updated so that she doesn't catch anything from all these mice she's killing. (And the larval looking thing was actually a stomach, I think. It was the right shape, anyway.)

And, in less ooky news - I'm on vacation! Woo hoo! Five whole days of not going to work! It's going to be incredible. Oh, the Sims I will be playing. And the papers I will be editing, but that's less fun, so we'll ignore that for now.

Bye! Think of me and be jealous when you're on your way to work tomorrow, and I'm not!
