I have had two very curious cats this morning.  Cinnamon wouldn't even eat her breakfast. She kept hanging around the spare bedroom door, and just a few minutes ago, she was working her way under the carpet beneath the dining room table. I lifted it up and noticed what it was.  A centipede.  It has been dispatched. 

There is no lack of excitement around here!
