Mommie Is So Mean!

I finally caught one!

If you look at the new pictures on my page you can see I finally got to catch a mousie! Mommie was not happy it found a way inside, but she caught it in the kitchen Sunday afternoon, and she took it out on the balcony and called me out there. I pounced on it immediately and before she could close the door, took it back inside and began playing with it (torturing it, Mommie said). She took some pictures but then decided to put the critter out of its misery since I was only going to play with it some more and not kill it...gee, I was only doing what cats have done for millennia! Mean Mommie.

The Continuing Saga

Guess you can tell from my latest picture that one of the mousies is still around. I'm embarrassed now--Mommie let me out several times to chase it but all it did was sneak down into one of the nooks or crannies on our balcony and hide from me. So it's back and I'm watching it in place of the birds. Mommie is toying with the idea of putting out a baited mousetrap, but she doesn't really want to kill the mouse--she thinks it's kind of "cute". What a silly gal Mommie is. ;-)

Mommie Is So Mean!

I know this is my first diary entry and all, and I should really be a grateful kitty that I'm living with Mommie and being spoiled instead of being stuck in that smelly little cage at the shelter, but I just have to grouse a bit here.
This morning I didn't jump in bed and wake Mommie up at 5 a.m. like I usually do (and she usually grouses about that, herself!), so what does she do? Comes in here into the living room to LOOK for me! I was there at the balcony door trying to point out to her what I was looking at! I meowed and trilled and begged to be let out, and what did that silly broad do? She turned on the PORCH LIGHT! So of course they disappeared. She told me what a silly kitty I was...then she started worrying that maybe Lucie's ghost had come to visit....I meowed again to tell her NO, NO, NO, it's nothing paranormal--but it's REALLY EXCITING and she should let me out! But she didn't. She went into the kitchen and made breakfast. It was a few hours later when she was sitting in the big chair next to the balcony and talking to Grandma on the phone when she FINALLY SAW THEM! Not one, but TWO MOUSIES! They were scampering around on the porch and eating the bird food that had fallen on the deck! But then she wouldn't let me outside! I'd take care of those mice for her, but she's so afraid I would jump off the balcony and run away....geez....what a dumb Mommie....I sure hope they come back out this evening. Of course now she has her CAMERA ready...so of course they will lay low. Pout pout.
