I am home and the cat did not bring me anything dead this morning before I left!!! I was concerned because I was awake with a storm in the night and she was insistent on going out so I expected a present but she must have decided that she wanted to stay dry somewhere (or all the prey did) and there was nothing by the time I left.

I am so relieved. My own cat is getting used to my being here again and I expect to get lots of snuggles at bedtime.

The small animals are finally safe from the love of the cat.
