My first wife and I had a male cat named Orpheus. He was mostly white
but had a black nose/mustache and a black patch over one eye. Looked
sort of like--you know--Hitler.

Orphy was a sweet cat but definitely a few bricks shy.

He often sat in one corner of the dining room and stared at, well, the
corner. Like he was a true believer waiting for the second coming.

Anyway, when wife one brought son four home from the hospital, and all
the neighbor women gathered to appropriately "ooh" and "aah," Orpheus
burst through the cat door with a baby rabbit in his jaws.

One of the Ooers or Aahers screamed and Orpheus--never the most secure
hunter in the wilds--dropped his prey.

May I re-focus the scene?

Center stage is a woman who is just home from the hospital sitting on a
living room couch, smiling and probably feeling kind of weak and out of
it, with a babe in swaddling [whatever that is], and suddenly a baby
rabbit is racing for its very life all over the living room--hotly
chased by a cat the looks a lot like Hitler.
