You shall not pass

Sophie the dilute calico cat wanted to come in the house to deliver her newly caught mouse to her favorite person, my eldest. I did not let her in. My eldest went out to her to give her praise for being a good hunter, then Sophie went off to eat her mouse.

Another cat, probably Thor, did manage to bring in a rodent, then lost it under the couch. Later that night Sophie dispatched it and left bits for my eldest in her room. Presents. Hm.
