it's 03:34am and I had to wake my mother up to get rid of it

it smelled revolting and THE SMELL WON'T LEAVE

I opened all the windows but it still stinks

I asked my mother where the hell Wilson would get an eel

apparently they swim up the stream... so Wilson went fishing???

frankly I prefer mouse season

or skink season

there used to be a cicada season but the cicadas have been unfortunately sparse these past couple of years

I really hope eels don't become a habit

Clever kitty!

DID I EVER TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT THE GIANT MOTH

okay so

one time I was trying to sleep but there was this really large and obnoxious moth flapping around my room in the dark

I turned the light on to catch it but Wilson got there first

and she ate it

and I was like, thank god, peace and quiet. so I petted her and thanked her and went back to bed

she left my room and then went outside

ten minutes later she comes back in

WITH THE BIGGEST FUCKING MOTHERFUCKING MOTHER OF A MOTH I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE

I KID YOU NOT, IT WAS FOUR INCHES ACROSS

AND IT WAS JUST FLAPPING AROUND THE HALLWAY, and Wilson was trying to grab it down, and keep it from getting too far away

and she was like LOOK AT THIS MOTH I GOT FOR YOU LOOK ISN'T IT GREAT

and I'm like???????? FUCK

so I (alongside my mother) catch this moth and throw it back outside

and of course I have to tell Wilson she's amazing and well done and all of that

but like.......

"yes my human has approved the eating of this large moth. I will get her more and PROVE HOW GOOD I AM AT MOTHS"

yes Wilson. thank you Wilson. point taken.

I don't know where she found a moth that big. and I don't know why I've never seen one before. or why it only took her 10 minutes to find it and bring it back alive

there must be a portal somewhere and she just goes into a another world to find all these mythical creatures that don't really exist

also over a year later, I'm still flattered by the fact she got me the biggest moth on the planet just because I congratulated her on eating the first one

as far as cat-awarded compliments go I think that's a pretty big one

These stories are making me slightly glad Mischief is too much of a wimp to be outside long enough to catch anything

And that she's not like Colin the cat who insisted on bringing in leaves and shredding them everywhere..
