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.
