Princess Priscilla showed her first slight inclination towards being a real cat today... she went hunting - by which I mean she wandered out of the front door, lay on her back and flailed her paws around for a little bit - and managed to catch a cobweb. She was then so disturbed by killing a poor innocent cobweb that she tried to free her paws from it and got it caught around her nose. Cue kitty break down and much crying in YM's lap.
Then her half brother (and possibly father, we're not quite sure how the cat-lineage fits in around that yard), Elvis, caught and killed a WAHOOSIVE rat and left it on the door step as a present to YO. Her Royal Kittyness spent ten minutes running back and forth between her basket and the rat, and eventually gathered enough courage to give it a bat with her paw. At which point of course the rat moved slightly, and she shot up to the attic and hasn't been seen since.
She's in for a shock when she comes back down - YO, who is getting particularly sick of the useless kitten, has put her basket outside and left the rat in it
