Cat... and mouse



I'm not sure when it started, but I noticed yesterday my cat got herself a new job. Normally she only goes into the kitchen when someone is cooking, but strangely she's been staying close to the kitchen, just laying low, watching. And watching.


And we discovered what she why.

Apparently, behind the kitchen cupboard, a little mouse has been hiding, and feasting itself on this bag of rice we keep thereabouts. Which explained the grains of rice on the kitchen floor.

I've not seen the mouse myself, but I think my cat has. A couple of times she opened the cupboard door herself and tried to 'paw' into the tight space, as if trying to grab something.

She's still there, now, still waiting. And watching.
