we had taro, he was grey & clever,lived to the ripe old age of 18.

during his younger days he brought many & varied 'gifts'

sometimes we'd find dried earthworms stuck to the stair carpet. bits of bread we or the neighbours had put out for the birds.

one evening i was watching tv & i saw something moving underneath. it was a live toad taro had brought from the garden.

other than the usual birds, mice, both live and/or half eaten, the absolutely worst, most nauseating item he brought from a neighbours binbag was a used tampon!!- aaargh!!
