My cat is meowing at the back door. The back door is a sliding glass door, so I can see through it and I can quite clearly see that my cat wants to bring its prey, a dead mouse, indoors to eat on the carpet. Furthermore, my cat is too lazy to bring it in through the cat door which is designed for just this purpose and insists on meowing at the door until I let him in.

The mouse is largely unremarkable. I give it a three out of ten. Four now that it's half eaten. It'll go up to five if my cat picks out which internal organs it doesn't like, leaves them layed out before the door, and eats the rest.

I give my cat seven out of ten. Kudos for being an awesome cat, and kudos for a successful hunt. But really, catching a mouse isn't much of a challenge. Kudos for having the audacity to expect me to welcome him in with his mouse, but negative points for thinking i'm going to let him in and then clean up the bloody mess left behind in the morning.
