Mouses

posted by [personal profile] bugshaw at 09:47am on 21/06/2008
I appear to have a very small, temporary, pet mouse. When a cat brings in a live one, I catch it and put it in the garden. When the cat brings in a dead one, I pick it up in kitchen paper and put it in the bin. This one ambles very slowly and blearily. It has a bit of a hole in it, and a half-chewed tail. At the moment it is in a box with a piece of cheese and half a grape, where it is crawling under the kitchen paper to find a dark space to curl up in.

Pandora-cat gave me such a dirty look.

EDIT: Oh, that's serious mouse/grape OM NOM NOM action.

We discovered that a very nice but dimwitted chap in the terraced street one across from us was live-trapping the mice in his house and releasing them "to the wild" in the park. And as they were house mice and not park mice, they became an easy target for Flynn who promptly brought them home. If we got live ones, John used to take them to school and release them up there where they could choose between buildings and the great outdoors. Heaven alone knows what got them next.

Pandora cat is obviously trying to teach you the finer points of hunting. This means she loves you, really.

That a mutation is spreading thru the cat poulation deleting the sub-routine that tells a cat how to kill with a neat pinch to the back of the head. somore and more cats are bringing their 'finds' home alive.

It's the mouse Somme down this street in the spring, there's a cat at every other house and all that woodland and water meadow at the end of the road.

Not to mention the Beanie Babies, of course.

PS: mice don't actually like cheese, it's a myth - it's too high in fat for them. A few cornflakes or the like would probably make it very happy indeed :-)

Yay mousey! Oh, I have so much to look forward to when these two grow up... *eyes kittens suspiciously*
