Death of a Mouse ... perhaps the world's dumbest mouse, but still a mouse

Awesome Livvy, born huntress. Yeah, Stormy use to have fun back at the farm when he caught mice, he play with it catch, release, recapture then eventually he had his fun and it was time to bring his trophy to the door step, thankfully dead. One time I let him out for the night, he jumped after a mole and didn't come back till next morning with the mole, which was just about as big as he is.

I forgot to mention earlier, that most of the time our Samantha (although she is nicknamed "the mouse murderer") actually brings them into the house unharmed. As she did last night ... squeak squeak squeak went the mouse as we gently tried to herd it round the hall and out the front door. Samantha was not happy ...

My mom and dad's one cat, who loves to be outdoors in the afternoon and early evenings, will regularly catch mice, chipmunks, birdies, bunnies and moles and lay them in front of my mom and dad's kitchen door. My dad always gives him tons of pets and tells him what a good hunter he is, lol! My mother, not so fond of the little things being offered up in homage of them, usually takes them across the field and buries them there.

My one cat that I had when I was younger, Corvette, she would catch baby bunnies and bring them to the door. She'd scratch at the door, I'd open it, see the bunny, yell out "Corvette!!! Put it down!" She'd meow at me and the bunny would hop off toward the end of the porch. Unfortunately, it usually didn't make it too far, and Corvette would go get it again. Sigh.

The only time they brought them in the house was when my mom and dad had Tazzer when he was about 9months old and he had gotten a chippy. My dad went to let him in the house, and here he had the chippy in his mouth, let it go, and that little sucker raced around and around the 1st floor of our house with Tazzer running right next to it. My mother wasn't home, thankfully, otherwise she would have had a heart attack. My father and I were just laughing ourselves silly because there wasn't much you could do until the cat caught the chippy or they ran out the door (which is what happened... run out the door).

Mice really do squeak???? In the last month Eddie has brought two birds into the house. Quite alive. And drops them for "inspection" at which time they have "messed" on the floor out of shock and then begins the chase....to shoo them back to the outside world...

It's a cat thing...
