I'm a bit slow

Last night, I was lying on the couch watching TV. Vino was really agitated,
he kept meowing, jumping up and standing on my chest (Ouch, boobs! Why are
cats' feet so pointy?) He'd give me one headbutt and then just stand on my
chest like he'd conquered me and look about. After a little while he would
jump off and sit on the chair next to the couch. After a few minutes, the
cycle would repeat.
Finally, I decided to go to bed. Took Vino upstairs with me as usual and we
cuddled for a bit. I turned off the light and started to doze off.
Suddenly, there was Vino on top of the covers, chasing something! Eeeeeep,
cockroaches! I flew out of bed and turned on the light. Oh, it was just a
furry mousie. The little bugger must have gone downstairs, picked up a
mousie from his scratching post (that's where we keep them), brought it all
the way across the living room, down the hall, up the stairs into the
bedroom. Just to get me to play with him. Guess I'm a bit slow on the
uptake sometimes!
Anyway, my heart was still pounding from the cockroach scare that I happily
stayed up and chucked the mouse across the room for him for 20 minutes.
Then we were both exhausted and had a good sleep.

Aww. I was sure, at one point, that next you would say it wasn't a toy
mousie but a real one. So relieved that it wasn't! I bet you are even more
happy about that than me. ;o)

Hmmm, I don't know if they have mice in Thailand. I know they have rats
though, humungous rats the size of 2 month old kittens! I see them at the
market all the time. I'd be really worried if I started seeing them in the
house though!

Does that mean that there are rats crawling all around the market, or
that they sell rats at the market (for food??)

I notice that you're trying to emphasize the *bad* portion of your
name. (Perhaps trying to differentiate yourself from Debbie?)

Tak,
Think *B*ritta *a*nd *D*ennis. Put the first letters of the words together
and you get "bad." This has been Britta's sig for a long time.

No, they don't sell them for food, thank goodness. I think Thailand is
prosperous enough for people to not have to resort to eating rats. There
always seems to be plenty of chicken, pork and seafood available. Mind you,
less chicken nowadays :-(
The rats seem to come up from holes in the ground, I'm guessing from the
sewers. Often one will scurry across my path and disappear again. Doesn't
bother me too much, I wash my meat and vegetables before eating ;-)
About the stars before and after the bad, that's just for spam protection.
I figured people would figure out to remove the stars before emailing me, so
then I wouldn't have to put anything about how to reply to me in my sig
line.

Re your first paragraph, Britta....this is terrible but I just can't resist:
is it possible that the rats could "taste like chicken"? (nationwide USA
joke).

Why less chicken? (Did I miss something?)
