Recently my daughter has started setting milk out for some of the local cats. All three of the children love to watch the two cats that come to the house on a regular basis now.
Have you read Little Town on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder? Well in it they have a cat that brings mice and crows to the door for Ma. Well we woke up one morning to find a shrew in our milk bowl. Apparently one of the cats was wanting to repay us for all the milk we have given it. The children were so excited for the present that my five-year old drew a picture to thank the cat for its generosity, which she placed out by the milk bowl. I must say I wasn’t so excited for the present, luckily my husband was here and was able to get rid of it!
