Dear Squeaker (aka-one of the parent's cats),

Yes, you have fulfilled your solemn duty as a cat and caught the Big Bad Mouse and have presented yourself at the door with it in your mouth.

Sadly, I cannot allow you in the house with your prize, and am under strict instructions to make you spend the night outside if you eat it, as you tend to throw up.

This is your own fault.

But yes, I do quite admire the trophy of war.

Love and Sympathy,
Me

When we had cats when we lived in Texas, our cats would always come to the door with lizards and such. And they would look at my mom with that look and be all "Aren't you proud?"

I always thought it was rather thoughtful. Our current pet is a dog, and while she is more lovable then the cats, she is all like "ME! ME! ME!" and never really tries to give anything back.

"But... but I'm a big bad hunter! I caught it for you!"

I read a book on cat behavior once that said that they view us as "mom" hence the presenting of the butt, and the big bad hunter thing. It made a lot of sense to me, at least.
