Gaaaah mice!

Ahhh aaahahaaaaa aahh nooo aahhh...

Doerak (my cat) came walking into the room with a mouse. One of those tiny ones hardly bigger than my thumb, and I have a small thumb. Uhm.. yeah.. noo.. OUTSIDE with that, hop! Picked up cat (including mouse), flung them through the cat flap into the enclosure.

Brrr I don't want that inside.. mice are sweet and cute when I'd have them as a pet or something. Doerak is sweet too.. but no.. that mess.. out!

And then the brain started rambling: what if someone threw poison out and the mouse ate that and now Doerak will eat that mouse and.. ok.. back to the door I went, into the enclosure. Grab and rattle the cat, mouse freed, flung the cat inside, closed the door, closed the flap. Inside you. MEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW!! Yeah, no, no whining, INSIDE!!

I actually really needed to get some sleep but this thing rattled my autistic cage so much that I couldn't. GRRRRRR.

I'll be able to in a bit I'm sure.. but geez.. he's gonna be 8 in March, first time ever I see him with a mouse. WORMS, now that is more common. Mice, not so much.

Ah we love those kitties.... Our kitty "big Tim" a mere 11 kilos and 1 meter (stretched out) would never do such a thing. He'd have to go outside, and it's cold....

Slightly less big btw.. 6 kilos :)

Speaking of pets with worms, I got my latest dog, Nichi, from the animal shelter about 14 months ago. I had to wait a day or two for him to get neutered by a vet. All the dogs and cats from the shelter get spayed or neutered. He was a year or two old and wasn't house broken yet. He is half Great Pyrenees and half Border Collie so he is very smart. Since I am home most of the time I figured I could house train him quickly.

He had a few accidents but he did learn quickly. It was only weeks later when I read over his paperwork that I discovered he had been given de-worming medicine when he was at the vet. No one had told me! I had figured his problems were related to his new diet or something.

I have two cats. Your cat was bringing you the mouse as a gift saying, look what I caught. You realize that you insulted your cat when you threw Doerak out the door?

Eadwine hates meeces to pieces...

Maybe I should do a weekly coyote walk update in a blog or something. i.e., the female went into the yearly heat Thursday, as close as I can tell, so now she and the male are doing it like they do on the Discovery Channel. She's also graduated to taking treats from my hand like the two males. The original three also allowed another adult female? to join the pack a couple weeks ago, so that one is gradually losing its shyness, too. Currently 10 feet is about as close as it will come.

My cats used to be rather fond of bats, back in the day, though I saw one catch (and later eat) a sparrow in mid-air.

Roger is excellent on killing wasps while Melanie goes after ants. They both work as a team going after mice.

well - we are past that Time of the Year,, where those rodents will not, need to come inside for the warmth.

but, our 'Major' - a tabby cat, also called "IN & OUT"
- - goes Out the back door,, for maybe 25Min or so,,
- bangs on the Front Door - to be let back in again,, & munches on some cat food, near that front door,
& then heads back - to the Back Door - again.

when the Other Half is Home - - then 'Major' will settle on her Lap, for the whole evening.
& eventually, onto her-side of the bed - - until it wont's to go Out again. maybe 3AM ? dunno about that, as I'm not listening.
