Kind Gifts From a Furry Giver

Our little cat Sprout de la Paz is very wonderful. She is so curious, so alert, so charming. And she’s also the most supreme huntress of Westmoreland Blvd. Sprout preys upon rodents, lizards, birds, and giant cockroaches on an almost daily basis.
Most of the time, they end up in my and Johanna’s bedroom. It can be gross sometimes, but I’ve never minded, because I love how wild and smart that cat is.
Last night, when Sproutie brought in a little mouse (completely alive and in one piece, thankfully!), some of the roomies told me something I’d never heard before: that cats bring their prey into the house as gifts! It’s not for the cat’s benefit– they could always just enjoy the kill outside if they wanted to– no, it’s a sign of love and gratitude to their owners! I can’t believe I’d never heard that before! To think, all those little animals… could they really have been expressions of love for US? Wow! I’m just so touched and happy at that thought!
Here are some confirmations from the internetosphere:
Thank you, Sprout! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Swine Flu…
Thursday, April 30th, 2009
Posted by msabicer
Last night, the hospital was on high alert. Working on the infectious disease unit I saw this coming, but the fever pitch of the SWINE FLU epidemic hit us hard. For the last week the ER has been packed with literally hundreds of people worried about the flu. Then yesterday it happened, a young patient came to our hospital with a “highly probable” case of swine flu.
The hospital spared no precaution, and the nurses had to be suited up with the same level of protection we use for surgical sterility- bonnets, goggles, respirator masks, gowns, and booties. We’ve had epidemics come through before, and the infectious disease unit always takes the brunt of it. I’m sure that in the coming weeks we’ll be quarantined from the rest of the hospital .
It seems only natural then that overnight I had a creeping sore throat and today I have raging cold. But I’m sure that’s just what it is, a cold. Never the less, I can’t help but think that flu symptoms are mostly respiratory.
