Good plan! I've been trying to do the same. DS's eyeballs about came out
of his head when he saw how much it cost to fill the van last time. So the
kids are even careful about asking me to drive them places now.

LOL Sorry about the milk.

Forgot to tell you. I found a terra cotta rabbit statue at the thrift
store. It has a hollow back like to put a candle in. Got that and some
silk flowers and made a memorial shrine on the kitchen counter the next
day. My neighbor was beside herself. We have laughed and laughed about
that. She said she didn't know how she could pay that one back, I told her
I hoped she never needed to!!! lol Both of my critters like to play with
bunnies, etc. But they don't play quite as vigorously as the neighbor
cat. ;) That's really what he wants to do with them, but then
suddenly "she don't move no more, George." Poor guy. heh heh

Awww..that is so sweet!!! You remind me that my mother had a cat, eons
ago now, that brought her presents. With a little life left in them so
that she could enjoy them. Rabbits, chipmunks, birds, snakes -- Mom was
less than thrilled and usually jumped up onto a chair or table and
screamed for me to come take care of it. He loved her so and she just
didn't understand!

He probably thought she was a retarded kitten: Look, it's easy, it's
practically dead, c'mon kid, you can do it! Oh, rats, up on the
chair again.

I'll bet he was equally displeased with your progress: you never
quite grasped that once you'd killed it, you could eat it.

You're probably right! One of the feral cats I feed left me a bird at
the front door, but it was already dead. She might have a better grasp
of my ability. I figured she was saying, "You feed me, I will feed you."
