No no no!
*Obviously* Druids sacrificed a pigeon in your Ford!
.....;-D
But the question is why would a cat leave a perfectly good rabbit in the cairn?
Not that I have an answer -- I still haven't figured out why mine leave dead animals every day on my doorstep.
Some they leave half eaten -- that makes sense, carrying food back to the den, instinct, there would be kittens in the wild but they're all neutered.
Some of the things they bring back, they leave untouched, but these are nasty things that taste bad like moles and voles that have scent glands.
But they think rabbits are yummy, and all they ever leave is a half-eaten carcass.
I am very familiar with the things that cats drag in.... but I must not know what a 'cairn' is. I always thought a cairn was a pile of rocks, pointy on the top, used to mark a spot or a trail or something. Obviously I am mistaken.
Easy question, really. The cat is actually leaving part of its kill for you - as a ceremonial offering.
s/b "a tail told by..." ;')
Heck, the whole thing was butchered beyond recognition, anyway so "tail" wouldn't have helped much.....:D
["Out! Out damned cat!"]
I've definitely used that last one in my day. ;') Someone who hasn't is rarer than a famous quote from "Timon of Athens".
I have only had dogs as pets and the words spoken to them at times [especially in the midst of their puppyhood] wouldn't have ever crossed the bard's mind....;D
The cat will mew, and dog will have his day.
