Meanwhile, Uhura did something very strange.
Each day she goes out and catches rodents, often ridiculously large ones, and brings them to the front door for us. I've always said that it's as though she thinks that we're slow kittens. Sometimes there's the whole rodent, sometimes just the remains - after we don't accept her gift.
I can't stop her, and have given up trying, hoping that this will just cut down on the rat population. I get her shots, and worm her, hoping that's enough. Oddly, she never gets worms, but that's another conversation.
She and Mamou really don't get along very well, and never have. They scuffle, she does 'drive by' smacks on him when he's on my feet, etc.
Well, day before yesterday, she came up with a giant rat, threw it a couple of times, then tossed it - literally - 6' to where Mamou was...because he follows Dh wherever he goes.
She then rolled around and chortled, but didn't go after it.
She had literally given it to Mamou.
And, in case that I thought that we were mistaken, she did it again last evening.
They still don't get along, but she's decided to feed him!
