Morbid Fascination!






Hannah's older cat Oliver is a avid hunter! He loves to be outside and quite often he uses that time to hunt. He loves to catch birds and put them on our front porch to show us!


Well yesterday Oliver decided to dismember the poor bird. Bailey and Gracie were delighted to see just the bird's head! No body, nothing, just the head. Sick, sick. They had it in a paper towel and were carrying it around until we made them flush it.


A little later I was finding feathers in the kitchen, in the family room,etc.. The girls told me they had found the poor birdie's feathers. I begged them to leave it alone~ the bird would give them a disease! We gave them a bath and thought we were done.


I thought for sure I had scared them into leaving it alone! Wrong!! They were trying to sneak something in from the garage. I asked what it was and they told me "nothing, just a stupid scorpion, you don't need to see it mom." Yikes! So of course I made them show me.. They had gone outside and found bits and pieces of the bird. The latest find was this delightful foot!


I feel sick! Yuck! I am just hoping there are no pieces left to discover!

Totally nasty! You will have to show them pictures when they are teenagers to tease them. Don't you love the little things kids do to fill up our days. So, when Tony asks what you did today, you can say, the usual.

That is GROSS! I don't know why, but I've always been grossed out by dead birds! (My dog growing up used to catch them, too, and my parents made me clean it up! Yuck!) Looks like your kids had fun with the remains!!!

Too funny. Love the pics. The kids are hilariously entertained. Even our boys are not that into bugs, they shreek and call me to "do the exterminating".
