I just KNOW there's a mouse in this closet!

Great Ritzy pics. :D My cats also love to bat their mice under things like the refrigerator, couch, and recliner. :)

When Tubby and I lived with my parents, he had the pleasure of "meeting" a few real mice face to face. We always knew when there was one around because he would sit for hours on end just looking at the closed cupboard door, or at the heaters. WE didn't see anything for days, but Tubby would not leave his post, and sure enough eventually we'd get to watch him chase the mouse around the house. The funny part was that my mom would get in on the chase too, to try and get the mouse away from Tubby. She was worried he would hurt it bad enough - but not kill it - and it would crawl into the heat pipes and die, then smell to high heavens in the house. We had some quite comical evenings back then. :D

Here's an old picture. My mom thought she would make it easy on Tubby and leave the cupboard door open. Notice the mousetrap too....she wasn't taking any chances. :rolleyes:

Vigilance, thy name is cat!

LOL...cute pics!
My kitties do the same thing except with the coffee table. The bottom of my coffee table has a bunch of wooden slats to hold magazines etc..(nothing they can catch their head in, but big enough to fit paws through) and it's no fun unless the mice are in between the wooden slats getting batted around.

I know what you mean about doors being shut. I had to start shutting my bedroom door when I'd leave for work....because one day I came home and there were no kittens greeting me. I found them all shut in the bedroom and had no idea how that hapenned...until..I saw Scout playing and watched him bat the door shut! Silly kitty. He'd close the door on himself then meow because he couldn't get out!

Tubby, this reminds me of a pic I took of Ritz...near the sink, staring under the stove!
