Mice?? WTF??

Okay, so I think this is kinda funny, though David isn't amused in the least...

He found a dead baby mouse in one of his shoes this evening. I of course can't stop giggling about it. It amuses me to no end trying to figure out which kitty left it for him.

There are a few reasons we may have mice:
1. There's a vacant lot next to us. Though it's all grass, it's like the bahamas for a mouse family.
2. Our neighor to the back of us is clearing out a ton of brush along our mutual fence line. He may have stirred them up. The dogs were really fascinated by a noise along the fenceline last night. A twittering, squeaking kinda sound.
3. The rain may be driving them to dry ground. Dangerous cat-infested ground, but dry ground.
4. Our deck in the back yard comes right up to the house and has a ton of excellent room underneath for a little mouse den.

Now, on that note, shall I point out that we have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR FULL GROWN CATS???

I'm very proud that they caught this one. But seriously, it looked like a baby. Can't they take out the mother or something a bit bigger??

Wimps.

And see, they do love David. I mean, they gave him their prize mouse!! LOL!

My cats are lousy hunters - they like to play with the mice, but not kill them or eat them. But they catch the baby mice because they're slow and therefore easy prey. Remember that cats are, at heart, lazy little buggers.

I assume Shiro found the mouse in his shoe the unpleasant way? :-)
