Ewwww, Niko...Gross!

So I was up around 3:40 or so, as usual. Fed the boys and Toby as usual. Left food for Niko too, though Toby tends to eat everything in site.

Then later, just before leaving for work, I opened the door to water the plants and there was Niko on my step, happily chomping away on a mole or mouse (no feathers).

Right by the welcome mat.

Eeeww!

I closed the door in a hurry and left him to his yummy meal.

When I opened the door a few minutes later, he was right there, almost smiling, having left the entrails.

Accck, gross, gross, gross!

I had to go out and clean up the mess, pour water on the step to wash off the blood. Gag. I'm really glad Niko's such a mighty hunter, especially considering he's minus his front claws, but I really wish he'd eat his prey on his own doorstep.

And now I know why he seldom shows much interest in the canned food I put out. He prefers the real thing!

No pic of anything gross, just this sunflower I saw on the way home yesterday. I couldn't do anything about the background of houses, so just used Picasa's soft focus on the snapshot. Trust me, much more attractive than rodent entrails. LOL.

Universal Blessings and Light to All Beings.
