One of our cats growls like a dog at people who come to the door. Sometimes it’s the only way I know someone is there. We call him the guard cat. My husband tells him he’s in charge whenever we leave together.

Guard cat caught a mouse once. He didn’t kill it; he bounded with great pride into the room I was in holding it in his mouth. “Look what I did, ma!” He let it go and it ran back through the same hole it came in, which my husband promptly plugged up the next day. We haven’t had any torture victims since.

Oh God, I love this story. My cat always goes to the door whenever someone’s there, but he doesn’t usually make any sound. And sometimes he jumps into our bed with a mouse-shaped toy in his mouth, as an invitation for us to play with him.
