morning offerings...

Mat and I are out cat/dog/housesitting at Mat's parent's house for the next 10 days while they are on an Alaskan adventure. This morning, we woke up bright and early and I went to feed the animals. Maddy's food is out on the porch, so I opened the door and almost walked out. Luckily, out of my peripheral vision I noticed that something was on the rug that isn't normally there. So I stopped my movement and looked down.

On the rug was a baby rabbit.

It was dead. (DO NOT CONTINUING READING IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH IN NATURE!) The rabbit was not just dead, but it was in pieces minus a head and with guts strewn out. I think I saw it's heart...or liver. I yelled for Mat and he was a good sport and cleaned up the lovely offering that Tillie, the cat, had left for us. Hopefully, it was a welcoming present and not a precursor of things to come!

Tillie seems so innocent... (Aren't you glad I didn't take a photo of what was on the porch this morning?)
