The Great Easter Mouse Hunt

This post really isn’t for the faint of heart.  I will just say up front…..the mouse didn’t make it.  This all happened while I was at work and Glen was home with the “kids”.  He said he heard a squeak, went to investigate and found this…..

Out little chubby kitty had caught herself a mouse.  However, being a cat, she likes to play with her prey and did the typical catch and release so she could chase it some more.  The only bad thing with this is, the mouse always out maneuvers her and manages to get away.  So Glen, being a good team coach, took Lilly out of the game and put Lucy in.

Lucy caught the mouse and refused to let it go, so Glen let her outside with it.  Bye, bye mouse.

Playing Cat and Mouse

We have had a few field mice making their way in to our house.  Not sure if their entry so early in the fall season is a harbinger of horrible winter weather to come, or we need to really reassess pest proofing the house…..or both.  Lilly has been on high alert but has met with little success.

Lilly:  I know that stupid mouse ran under the night stand!

Mouse:  Stupid cat will never find me under here!

ps…..I was not too happy that Lilly ran to our bedroom with the mouse in her mouth and then proceeded to let it go.  Glen lifted the night stand and the mouse took off and ran straight to Lilly.  Lilly then proceed to chase it under our bed before the mouse made its great escape to our closet.  Lilly sat outside our closet for a lllloooonnnngggg time waiting for the mouse to come back out and play.  It did, but she again was unable to catch it after it ran into the laundry room and escaped down a drain.

pps…..After reviewing the pictures, we really need to move furniture more often when we vacuum.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
