Valis, Sinnamon (cute name by the way!) is an absolute darling! He's beautiful.
My cat that we had when I was growing up was an inside/outside cat. . . and he was a tremendously fierce hunter when in his prime. He used to bring in everything! Mice, rats, lizards, small birds, big birds . . .
We had a tiny, swinging kitty-door that he used to go in and out of the basement. One time, he had caught and killed a huge black crow. This thing was enormous - and the amazing part was that he somehow dragged the poor crow's body in through his little swinging door and right up the stairs and into our home as a present for us.
He was super smart too! We used to hang a bell from the door handle on a piece of yarn. Anytime he wanted to go outside, or come in, he would ring the bell by hitting it with his paw and we would open the door. Well, early one morning, he was ringing the bell to come in. My sister got out of bed and opened the door for him. He comes prancing in with a live garder snake in his mouth. He walks into the kitchen and drops it on the floor looking so proud. Luckily, my sister liked snakes, and picked it up and freed it. Needless to say, my cat was pi$$ed off and looking at her with this incredulous look on his face.
