There woz I, doin' one thing wot I am very good at- sleepin'. I needed
sleepin' 'cos I was up half the night on my website (They saw through
that! Pretty soon maybe they lock me out of living room but I can
always use her's in bedroom, when them  two sleepin' they's sleepin'
good!)

I was all curled up on the nice soft mat by the big thing wot they
fills with water 'cos they are not as efficient as us cats when it
comes to having a wash! The Sun was shining right down on me so is a
good spot when Sun is out

Then this mousie ran past me! Well of course bein' as I am a big
hunter I jumps up and goes after it. And I gets it but soon as I do,
what does the cruel meowmie do? She picks it up and she does something
to it, I think she pettin' it- this will not do! Is only me (and maybe
sometimes Dunzi) gets pettin in this house! But she has it in her hand
and she is movin' her hand against it.

Then she puts it down and it runs off again an' so I have to chase it.
Then it stops an' as I am about to pick it up by the neck, meowmie
takes it and moves her hand on it again and then puts it down and da
mousie runs off again and when I gets it, she takes it from me and she
pats it with her hand and she put it down and it runs and I catch it
and she takes it off me

This go on for a very long time and meowmie laughs at me! Then she
calls Paw and he laughs at me as well!

They not let me kill and eat mousie but they keep it and they keep
saving it from the jaws of doom even through it shook its tail in my
face!

Sarrasine

(From Lesley, I have not got a live mouse to throw to the cats. It's a
clockwork one and Sarsi is proving quite inept at catching it until
the clockwork runs down at which point I pick it up and rewind it. I
wish I had bothered to have a camera handy when it first ran past her!)
