Cat owners around the world will have millions of stories to tell about their precious. About how darling and sweet they are, how silly they can be.
I've got a story from early this morning at six a.m. when I got up for my first day as an official Sophomore.
Runtsky is an orange and white American Shorthair male cat of quirky qualities. I swear he's half dog since he'll play fetch. He has an obnoxious obsession with Q-Tips (these we throw for his fetching game). The thing is is that he'll hoard all his Q-Tips in or around his water dish or food bowl. Along with the occasional plastic wrapper or hair tie.
Anyway, so this morning, I was stumbling around the kitchen thinking about breakfast when I heard a squeak for help.
Holy thorns, a mouse, surely! I stared at where the cries were coming from, the water dish, in which a dark grey mass was thrashing around in the water.
Nay, a mouse twas not it's being, but a frantic mole!
I sighed in relief and observed it as it snuffled in the water, drowning fast. This was new for the hunter kitty. I fetched a tupperware and scooped it out, promptly dabbing it with a paper towel.
I let it go and felt extremely sorry for the poor creature.
For now, I think it will be required to be checking the water dish daily.
I'll be the ARRV (Animal Rescue for Runtsky Victims).
I so should have my own tv show for this. Exciting!
Tell me your cat stories!

Hey, that was a darling and imaginative story. I know it was true. The cat carrying a Q-tip baton. No not a cat--he's a personality, Runtsky. It's fun to hear about his cat activities even to the detriment of the mole you saved. A cat story from me. I had a black cat named Mort (Mortimer). Extremely curious guy.
I am obsessive compulsive so have to put the dishes, pots, pans, glassware, tupperware (mole-less), and utensils in the dishwasher every night. One evening the washer was making extreme noise--so I opened the door to rearrange things and out popped Mort in a wet frantic, eyes dilated, and tearing off through the house. He hid for days. That's one way to give a cat a scratchless bath.
