This is the sort of thing that doesn't occur to Grandma when she does things like buying a guinea pig for the girl-child:

Me: [entering Abbey's room, and noticing that the cage is open] Abbey, where's Chelsea?
Abbey: Oh! She's right over...um...no, wait. She's... [rummages] Hold on a sec, Dad...she must be... [peers under bed] Uh-oh...
Me: [holds brow, contemplates washing down his ibuprofin with Stolichnaya]

(Oh: we found the critter in Abbey's pillowcase, terrified out of its mind.)

As if you needed another creature that eats and shits....tell me, what was she thinking? It's not as if Abbey was going to be permanently separated from her cat....
