Sheila’s Surprise

This morning, I was taking a bath when Sheila pushed open the door. She likes to watch me take baths, so I didn’t think too much of it until I looked over and saw that she had a mouse dangling from her mouth. I was tactless enough to scream, and she left in a hurry, fortunately taking the mouse with her.

In principal, I approve of cats catching mice, but in practice, I hate dealing with the results.

i agree entirely. sappho is on 26 now. it's taken her 3 years to do it, but i imagine the total will keep growing.

That was your hostess gift! Then again, who wants a dead mouse in the bath?

This made me laugh. Thanks!

Not long after Lilith (illustrated) and Liessa arrived hereabouts, I heard a shriek from the bathroom one morning. ramtops, in the water, was watching as the pair were tossing a (by then) dead mouse, one to the other, several feet into the air, with each trajectory inching inexorably closer to the edge of the bath…

I feel quite sorry for the mice and voles; rats I'm less sentimental about, particularly as they've been known to bite the cats back.

Mmmm. Watch where you put your feet!

Toby's fond of bringing me gifts like that as well.
