Slithy Toves

I had an extremely Alice in Wonderland kind of morning, but first let me tell you about this vicious animal we own.


This is Cooper.

Do not be fooled by his dooper-ish and commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside but what is inside that counts. This creature has been busy murdering animals smaller than him in broad daylight.

I know you're like, "Well, that's what cats do," but I'm not sure he's all cat. The kangaroo in this one is strong, as you can see here:

And the other cat has strong quasit energy, but this blog post isn't about her. That will be forthcoming.

Hiding from Cooperoo, probably


A few afternoons ago when we were painting, we put the "cats" outside so they wouldn't get into mischief. Hours later, I found a dead chipmunk on the rug in the porch right outside of the back door.

Mike was pleased because the chipmunks tear up the yard with their holes. but I hate having to see and dispose of dead animals. Since chipmunks don't taste as good as Friskies, I must clean the remains because Cooper doesn't eat what he kills. 

He murders just for the fun of it.

Guilty.

We keep the a door ajar when we go to bed at night so these cuddly miscreants can freely traverse inside and out without bothering us. 

This morning, we heard a kerfuffle outside the door and a lot of scurrying feet in the dining room. Then suddenly, a loud squeak, and we knew that Cooper had caught new prey and brought it all the way in the house to play with.

And this is where it gets really like Alice in Wonderland.

We got out of bed and tracked down Cooper the Kid and his latest victim in the billiard room. Cornered next to the stereo was a little precious bunny, saying its last prayers to Tu'er Ye (probably). 

We moved Cooper to a closed room and obtained gloves so I could handle this bunny in the house and remove it with care. When I went to grab it from the corner, it darted under the stereo cabinet and bounded away like bunnies do down the hallway.

It wasn't white, but it definitely moved like it was late for something.

Then the hallway turned to the right, and the bunny smacked into the wall and tried to climb it. I was able to get a hold of it from there. Honestly, it was the cutest chase of my life.

Then I went to the front porch to let it out freely, and the quasit came to greet us. We moved her inside as well and petted the little bunny before letting it loose. I noticed it was missing a good chunk of fur, too, which we later found in the billiard room.

Safe on the ground, it hopped happily away. 

Then I looked down and saw the most curious looking mushroom I had ever seen.

"Oh damn never seen that color blue" 


"Just think of the fun things we could do"


Group work.
"Cause I liiiiiiiiike youuuuuuuu"

Seriously, I have like not ever seen that color blue in nature. Is it even natural? It looked like it could have been radioactive. I'm surprised it didn't say "EAT ME" on it.

Just to be sure though, because he knows how much I like mushrooms, Mike reiterated that I shouldn't eat it. If I had, though, maybe I would've gotten really big. Or really tiny.

So that was my wonderland of a morning. Chasing a rabbit and strange mushrooms.
