Choose your own adventure
You're midway through eating dinner and you hear lots of noises coming from the next room. You put down your food, walk into the dining room (because you're eating in front of the TV again) and see that you're cat has just caught a mouse. He's picking it up, throwing it around, batting it, growling and carrying it around in it's mouth. All the while you hear little squeaks as the mouse is dying a slow, brutal, painful death. Every once in a while you see a little leg twitch.
Do you:
A) Freak out, jump up on a chair and scream like a little girl.
B) Try and get the mouse away from the cat in mid kill, hoping that the mouse doesn't bite you when you pick it up - provided that you can even get it away from your extremely excited kitty.
C) Sit back down and finish your meal. Pick up the phone and call a friend while you're waiting for it to be over, and periodically dump the mouse out of your shoe because the cat likes putting it in there and then diving in after it. Then, once the mouse is dead and the excitement's over, wait for The Kittenator to come over to you for approval and praise, pet the kitty, and remove the lifeless body with a grocery bag and throw it outside in the trash.
I chose C. What else was there to do?
