My cat brings frogs and shelobs too, but from outside.

Sometimes also mouthfuls of ragweed from a pond, so he has a big green beard and he goes and gets more and piles it up next to me.

The pond plants are fine.

The fully alive animals that he then allows to roam free, not so much.

Bonus memory: oh, Biz looks like he's got a weird whisker twitch.. get up close nope it's half a giant spider fighting for freedom and vengeance. Spat it out on my lap. Extremely high pitch noises ensue.
