My 19 year old kitty left a gift on the floor for me a couple of nights ago. When I got up in the AM there was a wet hairball with something poking the underside of my foot. When I turned on the light & finally got my eyes open, squinting enough to be able to see, there amid the hairball (which always looks like the above mentioned "turd" because it is the shape of the tube from which it came out of, and is surrounded by a wet spot on my carpet) was a twist tie (from a bread wrapper, which I am always carefull not to let her get, don't know how she got it) which fortunately came up instead of going down & therefore causing who knows what damage. And yes, other kitties have brought "trophies" to me such as birds (deceased), portions of mice, unknown creatures, bugs, and on occasion a kitty has brought home a pal who would not leave!
