I put this thread in "Cat Games", since the kitties had a lot of entertainment with this. Not me, though!
Last nights the cats started chasing something invisible to me. I assumed it might be a mouse. After a little while, they started settling down, and it was all quiet throughout the night.
This morning though, Olive started up again. She ran into the office, and then I saw it, too. It was a mouse. I closed the office door and let Olive guide me. I had a small box to catch it. Olive got it to run toward me, and I dropped the box on it, or so I thought.
Well, it wasn't there.
I was sort of disappointed in the kitties' hunting skills. Olive was the only one who tried today. Mindy and Clover walked away, and Miss Kitty just sat there, probably thinking "amateurs".
Anyway, all is quiet now. There are traps set in the vents. I did want to save the little critter and just take him outside, but I also want to protect the cats, since rodents can carry all kinds of parasites and diseases.
Hopefully, the mouse just decided to go back into the basement.
