Why slippers are important

[wraithfodder]

Now that I'm done for a while with con reports, I can add an inane post to this LJ.

Slippers. Simple little things, but oh so useful.

Got up the other day (fell asleep watching TV). Didn't bother to turn on lights as I went for the door. I stepped on something in the dark that went CRUNCH. I went, crap, I just KNOW it's something the cat or dog left.

Turn on lights.

Squashed mouse.

EUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

At least I know the cat killed it so I stepped on a corpse, but ick, gross. Thank god I put on slippers first.

Brings to mind 'Pet Cemetary' :)

Oh, that brings to mind another cat... who killed several mice and buried them in his kitty litter box. Little dead mice, head and shoulders sticking out, stiff little paws. It was macabre!

Oh god! LOL! I think I would have had to given the cat away. :) The worst thing my little ball of fluff ever did was bring in *live* mice into the house so she could play with them.

Oh heck, at least he brings in DEAD mice, or half a dead mouse.... I'd rather them be dead than get beaten to death off a wall (he likes to throw them everywhere and if he throws them too high and they end up on a shelf...well... it's not a pretty smell).

Wow, who would have thought a post on a dead mouse would stir such conversation! ;)
