cat and mouse

Tweet

I was just replying to someone's discussion about the rising cost of cat food (hi Pye!) when I heard my kitty Harmony meow on the front porch. So I went to let her in, but she didn't want to come in... she was looking at something on the half-wall... I had a look, too, and it was a mousie, just clinging to the brick, probably thinking, "If I don't move, maybe she won't see me". So I asked Harmony if she was going to give the mouse a nudge, and she did. She just touched the end of the mousie's tail. Mousie moved a little bit but was sticking with the don't move theory. After a bit, Harmony nudged the mouse again, and this time the mouse took off. Then, and only then, did Harmony chase it. Definitely not Itchy and Scratchy...
