The many adventures of having cats...

So this morning I was woken up by loud bird noises from outside. Soon after that I heard Natalie yelling at the cats to get outside. So I got out of bed and went to see what had happened. WARNING, some graphic descriptions: I don´t think I´ve mentioned it but the other day Natalie said she found something on the floor with blood around it. She came to the conclusion it was just one piece of a mouse, like the kidney or something. Her cat had eaten the whole mouse except for that tiny part. GROSS! So back to this morning. I opened my door and Natalie was down on the floor wiping up bird feathers. Her cat had brought a BIRD into the house. And it was alive still and under the couch. It was about 845 and Jamie had a doctors appointment at 930. So the bird came out from under the couch and, unfortunately, I had forgotten to close my door so the bird went into my room. I must have tried to get outside through the window because it was on the windowsill, and there was bird poop all over the curtain. Natalie put gloves on and caught it, which was exciting because I was freaked out. She decided to take it to the vet because she loves animals and didn´t want it to die or stay hurt. So she put it in an animal carrier. I thought about taking a picture but I didn´t have time because everything went so quickly. So what ended up happening is we took the bird to the vet and then went to the drs appointment, then went back to the vet. Natalie came out with the carrier, I stayed in the car with the sleeping baby. She told me they have to put the bird down because it has such deep wound under it´s wings. Poor bird.
Now in other news, I am having problems with sneezing and my nose running. I thought maybe it was the down pillow I was using but I stopped using that two nights ago and it´s still happening. It kept me up half the night last night, so I am pretty tired. It only happens for the first couple hours after I get up from bed. Usually it goes away after I take a shower in the morning... so I don´t know what it is. I am going to wash my sheets, blanket, and pillow case, maybe it was from the cat who laid on my bed. I´m hoping because I can´t stand it anymore.
