in a jar by the door

I thought that cat was acting suspiciously when she hurtled past us into the library in a very purposeful way. Yes, there is a mouse*, cowering in a corner where Sable cannot quite reach it.
And after I shared the whipped cream from my hot chocolate, too.

In other news, it hailed, snowed and sunned today. Quite disorienting.


* ETA: my heroic Beast captured the mouse in the dustpan and has put it outside. Pretty damn cold, but better than being eaten by a semi-competent cat!

Unless you put the mouse a fair distance from your home, it'll probably be back inside tomorrow, I'm afraid. They're clever animals!

[pensnest]

It only got in because Sable brought it in, and I suspect her presence will deter it from trying to get into the warm tonight!

[frausorge]

yikes! That sounds very hectic on all counts.

The cat refused to be petted goodnight! She was not impressed with the Humans for taking away her toy.

I hope the little mouse survives ♥

[pensnest]

I hope so, too. I have no problem at all with small rodents in the garden. (That rat, otoh, no!)

Glad the mouse is okay!

[pensnest]

Well, there's no certainty, but at least it was not eviscerated on my carpet!

Well done Beast!

Though I'm sure Sable was quite put out.

[pensnest]

She hid under the table and would not be stroked.

Bad kitty, Sable! But hooray for heroic Beast! (It amuses me enormously that you call Sable semi-competent :-)

Fluffy was quite the killing machine, what with the rat and the squirrel as well as a selection of rodents, variously sized. Sable seems to bring them in alive, and not quite know what to do next....
