Years ago we had a female Scottish Terrier, named "Ninya", that brought my wife a mouse that it had caught and killed.
There was no mouse trap attached to the mouse, and it was still bleeding.
All the Scottish Terriers that I have owned over the years were so aloof that they might as well have been Cats.
If I were you Griff, I would keep the cat well fed.

Normally he brings home live or freshly killed prey: mice, voles, rats, moles, squirrels, birds from Tits to Ravens, frogs, and fish. His best - or worst - was two rats as one mouthful : one dead and the other live. Not really sure how he managed that, he's only a small cat and these were fully grown Rattus Rattus examples.
He gets three pouches of cat food a day, plus treats ...

My daughter is in a life transition and has brought her two cats home with her. They are leaving "gifts" all over the place.
Years ago, my joke was that I wanted to run out of children at home before I ran out of hair. The hair is losing the battle. I now have changed my tune. I want to run out of left over pets before I die 
<edit>
Years back, a 17 yo wanted to get a parrot of some kind. Not a bird and not a budgie. I googled the parrot - average life span of 75 years. I'd have to live to 120 to have a running shot between me and the bird. I said no.

Yeah, but literature is just muscle flexing over how many words you know.

A large vocabulary is necessary in literature. I read a couple of novels whose writer is severely limited and it's horrible, jarring, mind numbing and generally a terrible experience.

That's true, but you'd never, or rarely, use some of those words in speaking language.
There is a Dutch word for today's word, but no one ever uses it (unless in jest!).
I guess it's an older word that is no longer relevant.
Of course you'd read such words in older books or books that are set in such time periods.

My mail proviiiiderβs (Ya-elphantinβ-hoo!) spam filter fails to identify these as spam. Annoying but WTE.
My reason for posting is⦠What drives a spamster to churn out, for six months, emails looking like they were written by a twelve-year-old? Certainly not in order to add a flavor of authenticity.

They seem to make it past the spam filter, so Mission Accomplished?

So you are suggesting that βDELiiiveryβ gets past the filter and βdeliveryβ wont. Not sure I find that plausible. But who knows.
