I wake up monday morning with just 1 cat sitting on me. Hmm, I wonder where the other 3 are. They're usually the ones sleeping on me in the morning. So, I come down and all 3 are intently staring at the wood pile next to the wood stove. Turns out they were doing the same when BF got up at 4:30. We get home from work, and they are still hunting around the pile. Now they've broken off into shifts. We didn't see or hear anything, but the cats obviously did. About 9:30 last night I'm sitting watching tv, and ...zip... ...zip... ...zip... 1 little gray mouse being chased by 2 gray cats. Now 3 of my cats are not the greatest hunters. They'll catch a mouse and then play hacky sack with it for quite a while. No mouse torturing on my watch cats. So I run into the kitchen and grab a small metal bowl to trap the little vermin in. The doorway to my office has a curtain for a door. I ran in there since thats where the cat mouse parade ran, and the little guy is about 4 1/2 feet up the curtain. Which actually made him easier to catch than if he ran under something. I scooped him up, repeated stayinthebowl, stayinthebowl, stayinthebowl, as i went for the front door to evict him. I didnt want him running up my arm thanks. And out the door he went. I woke with 4 cats around me tuesday morning. Guess he didn't have any friends with him.

Well, since they dont kill them and just play with them until its accidentally killed, I didnt want to go to bed and wake up with it running across my face when they bring it up to "play", or wake in the morning with it disembowled on my pillow. no thanks out it goes

That was his way of thanking you for taking pictures of him with a butter dish on his head!
