Knights Becoming and a Lady in Waiting

The Mouser

We got two kittens not long ago, Ashes and Cloud.  They have proved to be both affectionate and onery, but they have earned their place in my home.

Ashes caught a mouse last night.

This mouse has escaped every humane trap we put out and we don't use poison.  It travels from kitchen to garage with no trouble and only my mother ever saw it (although DH and I often saw its trails).  It seemed to be Mighty Mouse, living in our humble little home.

Ashes is hereby designated Mighty Cat.

When I entered our playroom/ schoolroom, there was Ashes, playing with something (batting it back and forth, sitting on it, and protecting it from his jealous sister).  I tried to get a closer look, just in case it was a kid toy... and there it was.  The mouse.

Ashes got THREE kitty treats so we could get the mouse away to dispose of properly.

We have a mouser in my house.  We no longer have a mouse.

Hooray, for Ashes!

There are two purosed to kitty cats. IMHO. To pet...because they feel so soft and furry....and to catch mice for us women. :)
