Does the cat really win if the mouse is still alive?
This is a question we wish to explore with Dusty, the mighty mouser kitty cat! This morning when I went to go take my shower, only to find Dusty the wonder kitty laying in the shower. Little did I know that he had a friend with him! Being as I didn't have my contacts in I couldn't figure out why Dusty was throwing fits as to me picking him up out of the shower to bring him into the living room. And then, I found out.
I thought he had decided to be mean and take a poop in the shower. It hadn't occurred to my caffiene-deprived self that he wouldn't have been laying in there if he had. So I grabbed some toilet paper and proceeded to pick it up to toss out. It didn't feel like poop and it had a tail!
I was looking at a mouse trying to figure out what it was. Then it twitched in my hand! I freaked and dropped it. Not realizing what it was and thinking it was going to run off I looked for it. Dusty had mangled it pretty good but hadn't killed it during his playtime.
So I bravely saved us from the mangled mouse and picked him up then threw him outside. The cats are currently in the greenhouse looking for mice, which we know is where that one came from.
Let's hope that Dusty has a better wake up call for me tomorrow, shall we? Laters.

Ok, this gives me the willies. I hate mice, but not as much as Hubby (he's not a whimp, long story). Last mouse was my responsability. i got one of those old-timey mouse traps with the spring. I couldn't stand the idea of looking at a mangled/dead mouse (let alone holding one) so I put the trap in a paper bag.
