We are proud of our two cats. They have protected their house from an invader. A little, tiny, furry, squeaky invader.
They caught a mouse.
We saw them hunting when we got up this morning. There was something in a closet that they really wanted to get at. I saw it for a second. A little brown mouse. It was adorable. It was also a bastard of a home invader who needed to be removed. The mouse got away this morning. It did not get away for long.
Jen walked into a room and found it laying in the middle of the floor, seemingly dead. She turned away to get something to cover the body and when she turned back it was gone. A few minutes later she found it seemingly dead on the floor not far away. Was it actually dead this time or was it just playing dead? I scooped it up and took it outside. Pretty sure it was dead. Poor little sucker.
Good job, cats! Lily and Robin protected their home and their family. They are good mouse hunters. We gave them some treats in thanks. Good job, my little furry friends. We’re proud of you.

One of my worse fears is a mouse in my bed. That fear has been realized, twice now.

Our kitty at the time was very proud of herself both times.

I let my cat inside when it was dark outside. She rushed in and dropped something on the floor. I switched on the light and saw it was a mouse. It wasn’t dead and ran behind the couch. I had to move furniture, catch it with a towel, and release it outside (far away from the house). Umm… Thanks, Zoe, but let’s leave them outside, eh?

Dangit… I jinxed myself. I read this earlier and appreciated that my cats usually released mostly-unhurt mice on my house, which I then caught and released outdoors. I just fed the outdoor cats and one had a not-quite-dead mouse that it was tormenting (the bone breaking air tosses). Fortunately, another cat ran off with it before I witnessed too much suffering.
