Kitty Contraband.....

I have had to implement a strict "frisking" policy for all felines returning from outdoor adventures.
This is due to a severe increase in the number of prohibited items being smuggled in from the yard.
Items considered to be contraband include:
frogs (and/or toads)
moles
mice
shrews
rats
gophers
lizards
any body part, whole or partial of above listed (innards included)
dirt clods
rocks
weeds
leaves
This policy was put into effect after having been woken up AGAIN at 3 am by Monkey and Peapod playing hockey with a mouse in the kitchen...and by the discovery later that same day....of the lizard Monkey lost four days prior. It was perched on the head of one of my teddy bears and nearly gave me a heart attack.
But, at least it still had it's tail.
