My house guest this evening

[piskieinboots]

The darling little one has brought in another mouse! Bless her to pieces

This little toy was behind the cooker, it was a give-away as Cleo was jumping back and forth between both gaps and wheeeping. So – I pull out the cooker, Mouse runs out, Cleo performs a dive worthy of a place on the Olympic squad and runs up and down the hall with Mouse thinking ‘Oh poo’ (it was stronger than that but this is a family forum)

Then she runs into the dining room AND DROPS IT!!!

Mouse runs (very fast) into sitting room, Cleo is convinced Mouse is behind the CD rack where she put last one!

I tell her to get in the sitting room and find it – she goes in the sitting room charges around her pole a few times like she is auditioning for a role as a Pole dancer. THEN she goes and kicks sh!t out of the TOY MOUSE!!

ROFLMAO

She is still going around wheeeeeeep wheeep wheeeping, Mouse is gawd knows where. I expect to find it on my shoulder watching TV with me this evening
*rolls eyes a bit more for effect

PMSL thanks for that vivid description. As a fellow cat owner, I had no problem visualising that!

[snuffer]

Classic. Our cats are always bringing in live mice and letting them go. They will then spend hours sat looking under one item of furniture or another waiting for a chance to recapture it.

I can't tell you the number of times we have mounted rescue missions. Attempting to catch the mouse and return it to the fields before one of the cats despatches it.

I do wish they would make a clean kill instead of insisting on 'playing with their food'.

PMSL thanks for that vivid description. As a fellow cat owner, I had no problem visualising that!

Me too!

[MaureenHall]

Me too I do hate it when Ebony brings the things in though, especially live ones. though half-dead ones that I haven't noticed until I can smell that horrible smell of rotting corpses yuk yuk yukky

Great description Piskie - reminded me of Maisie bringing in a mouse in the middle of the night and letting it loose under my bed. Managed to chase her off with it - shut her into the bathroom and went back to bed. No idea what happened to it - no sign in the morning! At least it wasn't a rat this time!

[sweetiepea]

My sympathies!! I’ve been there too many times. Little darlings. Grrrrrrrr ....

[piskieinboots]

I hope Mouse likes watching Casualty cos that's my viewing this evening - but then again the blood and gore may send the poor thing into PTSD

I've bought crisps in case Mouse gets the munchies

[RedThorn]

hope they're cheese and onion flavour...

[FionaH]

PMSL sounds just like our cat! That has made me chuckle this morning

[Twinsane]

We don't get mice (I think we have rats ) so my cat catches voles but he doesn't bring then inside; he brings them to the back door and "yowls" at the top of his voice until someone comes to look at them!

When Madderbat lived out in the sticks(Seagrave) her cats brought home many bits of the local wild life including.
Rabbits(full grown)
Squirrels.
Rats.
& of course mice.
Since living here the only thing other than mice has been a kestrel.
