Zooker and Zipper are still around

I haven't been online much lately due to DH's continuing health problems. We're hoping now that they've solved the biggest of his problems as he is feeling somewhat better.

Anyway, here's a few small updates on Zipper Cat! When DH went in the hospital two weeks ago (for about 3 days), the first evening/early morning when Zipper and I were home alone in bed, Zipper started "making biscuits" on me. The odd thing is that he has not done this since he was a kitten! Now, he does this on a regular basis when I'm in bed.

At around 3:00 am today, I awoke to hear the screeching sound of the shrew that has been in our house for some time (I set out live traps, but never caught it). I saw it run through the living room with Zipper in HOT pursuit (sp?). Well, Zipper killed it. I didn't see how he did it, but it was dead when I got to where the shrew and Zipper ended up - in the hallway. I guess I'm lucky I found it before he brought it in bed with me!

I'm kind of sad about this happening to the shrew. I know its instinctive behavior, but still. DH and I both thought that Zipper was much too gentle to hurt a fly. But, now we know otherwise. I just hope this doesn't change Zipper's attitude or personality in any way. I want my sweet "little" boy to stay sweet and loving.

I'm going to post about this in Think Like A Cat later today. I'm curious about a few things regarding these two items about Zipper.

I know it is natural but still awful when they kill another living thing. A shrew is a bird,right?

A shrew is a small mouse-like animal.
