The cat makes me nervous

We have the sweetest little calico cat named Mia. She is very petite and gentle. I love cats and normally really take to them. This one makes me nervous. Maybe it's the fact that she's always catching something here (mice, lizards as long as she is, lizard tails, etc.) and bringing them into the house. She really likes to put things in John's bag. It's made out of goat hair or something and it must be like catnip because she is always rubbing all over it and putting things inside.

I figure if I'm not her favorite person, then she won't bring her "gifts" to me. LOL

So, last night we watched a movie with the kids. I guess I should be honest and say they watched it and I fell asleep about 10 minutes into it. Levi had a spot for me next to him on the sofa. He had a pillow and blanket waiting because he said that he knew I liked to sleep during movies. Yes, it's sad but true. I always crash.

Well, back to my story.......
The movie must have ended and I was left alone sleeping downstairs. All of a sudden I woke up to screams and excitement---- and THE word: MOUSE

Mia had bird feathers all over Levi's bed (she must have eaten it there) and she had a mouse on their floor with guts by Isaac's bed. Levi said she was chasing something in his bed yesterday morning. She's been sleeping on his bed all week. She would be in Sam's (since he's her favorite) but it's the top bunk, so I guess she settled for Levi's. Gross! I think they were a little nervous to go to sleep last night. They're not afraid of those things, but it's just kind of unsettling to think the cat might bring a midnight snack into your bed to kill and eat while you sleep. I'm getting "faint" just thinking about it........

oh man............. I didn't even want to go upstairs last night. Now nowhere is safe!
