Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2007Mowse!
Miranda caught a mouse in the enclosure this morning! I don't know how it got into the enclosure. Must have been via the manhole or maybe it squeezed between the netting and the wall. Must have been one of these suicidal mouses we've been talking about. To deliberately squeeze into a cat enclosure! I don' think much of mice's sense of smell. Mir was so excited. Caliban tried to take it off her, but she hissed and growled at him. Paws off my prize! She wouldn't come inside even for turkey. She's been watching outside for hours, and then she finally nabbed it.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

As I've mentioned before, Stinky has a "catch and release, catch and release again, catch and release again, repeat until mousie gets away or Mommy catches me and takes mousie away or mousie dies accidentally and is no fun anymore" policy. :O Stinky's first mouse was actually a dead one found by Mimi (RB). I had never seen either of them so excited before. It was a lesson for me-- nothing gets your darling pampered "pet's" attention like real, smelly prey. > Miranda caught a mouse in the enclosure this morning!

Wow, *that* must have been exciting! Talk about "suicidal mousies"....the shelter director told me a mouse got in the enclosure at the shelter. She said there were 15 cats huddled in a little circle, and she went to see what was up. She said it looked like they were having a meeting. :-) Sherry > Miranda caught a mouse in the enclosure this morning! I don't know how > it got into the enclosure.

Did she eat it or play with it? :D Mir the Big Hunter! >> Miranda caught a mouse in the enclosure this morning! I don't know how >> it got into the enclosure. Must have been via the manhole or maybe it [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Did she eat it or play with it? :D Mir the Big Hunter! People are asking what she did with it. I thought she had killed it. She was holding it in her mouth and growling and hissing through it at Caliban. I dragged Caliban inside to keep him away from her prey, because I thought she had earned a moment to play with it by herself. Caliban was frantic and tried to go through the glass doors to the enclosure. Later I realised the mousie was still alive and she was catching and releasing it to play with it. I'm not sure what happened with it in the end. I doubt that she ate it, but I didn't find a body. Maybe it got away in the end. Though I can see why some people think mice are cute, I grew up with indoor/outdoor cats, and learned from a baby to view small rodents as cat food. This is why I didn't do anything to save it, even after I saw it was alive. Mir was just doing what comes naturally to her. And she was sooo excited! SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

LOL, perhaps a mother cat taught you that, the same way she would teach her kittens the same thing? :) Joyce > > Though I can see why some people think mice are cute, I grew up with > > indoor/outdoor cats, and learned from a baby to view small rodents as > > cat food. > > LOL, perhaps a mother cat taught you that, the same way she would teach > her kittens the same thing? :) Very possible. I think I learned to meow before I learned to speak. ;) -- Marina >>> Miranda caught a mouse in the enclosure this morning! I don't know >>> how it got into the enclosure.

I wonder if that mouse is stupid enough to come back. When I saw the subjuct of your earlier post I imediately thought of Waffles, I miss Helen's posts.

So do I. Mir didn't make that 'I'm a big hunter - hear me roar' sound that some cats do. Nikki always used to announce when she was coming home with prey. I think Mir was too busy growling and hissing at Caliban. ;) -- Marina > Miranda caught a mouse in the enclosure this morning! I don't know how it > got into the enclosure.

He reckons there is nothing better than catching a mowsie, or a rattie, or a collared dove. It's so exciting. Tweed > Miranda caught a mouse in the enclosure this morning!

Barnabus is soo proud. He wants to know if you took a picture of his Miranda with her mowsie? Are you having the head mounted and hung on the wall? She is such a wonderful huntress. Proud of his winkwink, Barnabus > Barnabus is soo proud. He wants to know if you took a picture of his > Miranda with her mowsie? Are you having the head mounted and hung on > the wall?

As it turned out, she didn't kill it (or she did and ate it all - which I don't believe) and it must have gotten away in the end. So nothing to mount and hang on the wall. :P -- Marina
