Wow, what a great morning of laughter from those posts! I'd like to see what this true story elicits:
Birthday party for a human. presents being opened. "Kitty is sad because she doesn't have a present for carol!" Exit kitty. A few minutes later, Kitty returns with mouse for Carol. Took it right to her.

Honest!

Well, there was the dog who brought us our duck, DEAD. It was at the top of the (outdoor) bed when we awakened. Gifts out animals bering us are sometimes as unwanted as some of those Christmas ones humans give us!
