The sport of cats
Thu. May 14, 2015
The sport of mousing is very popular in our house at this time of year. The mamals are caught outside and then brought into the house, usually by Camembert, one of our three cats. The terriers then collaborate in stalking the poor animals for hours on end. There is sometimes a happy ending when we (I) manage to coax the mouse out of the back door with raisins and hen food, having first removed all larger four legged animals from the area. I suppose it is the price we have to pay for having three cats. However, it does keep them away from the birds and fledglings.
