In Breaking News, I am pleased to report HOUSE MOUSE IS DEAD!!

House Mouse has been on the lam for a couple of weeks now, living the life of Riley in the kitchen (I know, I know, — ughhh). And then House Mouse went MIA for a few days and we thought, “golly, maybe House Mouse died!”

Nope. House Mouse reappeared tonight. Ginger heard that faintest rustle and saw the tiniest bit of motion, and let me tell you, it was ALL OVER. She was like a pointer on a grouse, holy smokes! I picked her up and placed her next to the coffee pot, and seriously, it took like 3 minutes, and she had him. Bwahahahaha! That little cat has got some amazing skillz!!

However, given that we have already established her knack for catch-and-release (she hasn’t figured out to put her foot on the critter before letting go to re-bite) I cornered the poor cat and stepped on the mouse’s head. (Sorry, don’t mean to be gross.) The cat growled. A lot. She got really mad I was messing with her mousie, yikes!! But it was quick and effective. House Mouse died. No more Free Willy repeats. :)
