Useless cat

[moonwise]

My husband cleaned the kitchen floor today, and when he moved one of the plants, he found a truly revolting insect (looked like a stink bug or sommat.)

Husband: Biscuit, look! *brings cat over* A bug!

Me: Biscuit, go get it!

Biscuit: *sniff sniff sniff*

Husband: Go on! *pushes bug towards Biscuit with a butter knife*

*Bug crawls slowly across the floor*

Biscuit: *sniff sniff sniff* Is there ham on the knife?

Husband: Not the knife, you silly kitten, the bug!

Biscuit: Bored now. Can I go in the oven, OH PLEASE?

Me: We have a useless cat.

Bug: w00t

We have had our cat for nearly 12 years. Not once has she caught a bug. Ever.

Useless, but quite cute. :)

See, that's no good. The cat should do something to earn its keep other than be cute and loving. :)

We have spoken to her and informed her that she hasn't really been pulling her weight around here. She responded that she didn't have opposable thumbs.

I hate it when she plays a trump card like that. :)

However, she did help confirm a gas leak once, so I suppose that counts as minor heroism.
