Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2007OMG!
Shmoggleberry, the at least 17 year old, cranky, geriatric cat, who sleeps 23.5 hours and then needs a rest, just dropped at my feet: A still warm, but thankfully dead, little grey mouse! I didn't think he still had it in him! And he said "mows, mows!" just before he did so, too! I don't think I could be more surprised by Shmogg if I tried!. Not wanting the Yowlet to see the deceased mousie (or worse, try to play with said thing), Fluff successfully distracted Shmogg for the quick moment I scopped out said mousie in a plastic shopping bag and disposed of the poor critter thoughtfully. I praised him and told him he was a very clever cat, but I think he was a tad distracted by his trophy. Its been half an hour since I disposed of his 'mark' and Shmog is *still* looking for it! Three cheers for geriatric cats! Yowie  SignatureIf you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes can you fit in a doghouse? None, icecream doesn't have bones. >Shmoggleberry, the at least 17 year old, cranky, geriatric cat, who sleeps >23.5 hours and then needs a rest, just dropped at my feet: > >A still warm, but thankfully dead, little grey mouse!

When we were living in Nevada last year, a mouse found it's way into our house. No doubt looking for a warm spot to sleep or some tasty treats to eat, however with 8 resident felines, that poor little bugger didn't stand a chance. We found the carnage when we woke up in the morning, and I'm guessing the little guy died of a heart attack, as there were no apparent wounds present on his stiff little mouse body. The cat's were still taking turns tossing him up in the air and jumping to catch him before he hit ground. After that episode, I started putting a plate of goodies (peanuts, corn chips, marshmallows, etc.) outside where I think the little mouse entered the house, to keep any of his buddies from making the same deadly mistake of coming inside. -bonbon > Shmoggleberry, the at least 17 year old, cranky, geriatric cat, who sleeps > 23.5 hours and then needs a rest, just dropped at my feet: [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > tad distracted by his trophy.

Oh, I see what you mean, Adrian, now I re-read the post. I hadn't noticed it maybe because I "speed-read." It's a technique I learned years ago to help with a high workload, it involves scanning text very quickly to digest the "bare bones of it" as it were. http://www.mindtools.com/speedrd.html gives you an idea about what it is. >Three chears for Shmogg, may he have many years left.
