re: #97 Backwoods_Sleuth

Went to put on my bog boots to go out to the barn.
Found that the cats left a present left inside one.

dead mouse…

Heh, mine has been stalking a mouse for about a week now, so I guess I’m gonna get a present sooner or later (it better not be left in my shoe). I couldn’t figure out why she kept suddenly snapping to attention in the middle of the night, then running to the other room. Over the weekend I was in the kitchen and saw a dark spot go shooting along the baseboard, then I realized why she’d been acting that way.

I think the damned thing has actually been in my bedroom because last night & the night before she was totally in assassin mode over something behind the bedside table that I could neither see nor hear.

Stupid mouse is suicidal. If Layla was still here it would be dead by now. She was really good at catching mice. Between her & the younger one they never had a chance, especially since they both knew the word “mouse”—say it and they’d come tearing into the room on high alert.
