Cat and Mouse Games

When we bought our house last year, one of the things we loved about it was the large field behind us. Well, less than a month after moving in, the construction started. They are turning it into another subdivision. When this started I told Scott that I wanted to get a cat. I figured that with the construction would come mice being driven out of their home. Scott, not being much of a cat person, reluctantly agreed and let me get a cat. She has been a great pet. We all love her. Well, this past week she has convinced Scott of her "worth" :O) She has caught three mice in the backyard. She loves to play with them. She will grab them by the tail and throw them up in the air and then pounce on them. As disgusting as it is, it is pretty amusing to watch. While watching her on Saturday I had to snap a couple of pics:



This one is almost cute. If you click on the picture it will get big and you can see the mouse in the grass looking up at her.






This one is her getting ready to throw it into the air.


Disgusting? Yes! But better her than me, and better outside than inside.

Hilarious! Our dogs like to take us on rat trails. They especially loved the grassy area by our apartment in Boise. We'd walk them and they'd put their noses in the ground and like a bulldozer they'd follow the path that the rat had dug underground. Then they'd find the hole and oh boy.

They however were never lucky enough to catch one.

That is awesome :) What a great picture. That poor mouse has a look of terror on his face.

I'm not a cat person either - but they are worth their weight when it comes to catching those mice. Who wants to clean traps (now that's disgusting!). Durn construction! :)K
