Cat and mouse tails

Tweet

Well, I spent most of the day in tidying up the jungle that passes for my garden. While I've been doing that, Chu, my tabby and white cat, went out terrorising the rodent population. I would not mind that, but she insists on bringing them back into the house! Well, the first one she got she killed outright, or maybe it just died of terror as she's not really got much of an idea about the killing part having been a house cat who never went outside before I adopted her in 2005. The next one though she caught while I was watching her and she headed right for the back door until I intercepted her. She dropped the mouse, and I had to laugh as rather running away, it sat up on it's hind legs and looked at her as if to say, "What did you do that for?" It got away as I prevented her from getting hold of it again. Over the course of the afternoon, she got two more and brought them both in to the house, chasing them around until I was able to get hold of them (one live, one dead) and chuck them out. Cats! Who'd have them!!
