This is too good not to share (shamelessly snitched because I know not
everyone will go over there):

One of my favorite engagement stories happened to one of our tennis ladies.
Her sweetheart very carefully wrapped an engagement ring in a box with a big
bow and set it on the pillow of her bed, next to her cat, so she would see
it when she changed after coming home from work.  Well, she walked in the
bedroom and he heard her scream, which he at first thought was a surprised
happy scream, but then she kept screaming, and he runs to the bedroom to see
what the problem was.  Very neatly, on the pillow, next to the box with the
ribbon, was a dead bird.  It seems her cat was not about to be out done when
it came to giving presents.
