When I went outside to see if the cats were ready to come
inside one of the cats was running circles around the tire
on my truck.
I wondered, What's that cat doing?
I kept watching and saw a tiny little mouse running just
ahead of the cat. The mouse was a little to small and a
little to fast for the cat to catch.
The mouse would run and run and run all around the tire then
get up as close as it could to the tire and take a break and catch
it's breath and the cat couldn't get it then they did it all again.
I stood there and watched and they kept doing the same
thing over and over and I don't know how much longer
it would have gone on if one of the other cats hadn't come
along and helped but even then for a few minutes there
were two cats going in circles around the tire with the
mouse leading the way and running for it's life.
Between the two cats they finally got it away from the truck
and started tossing it around and catching it then they let
it run a little and then pounce on it again and again.
The mouse didn't last long after that.

I'm so glad you found it entertaining enough to stand and watch.

It was funny watching those cats chase that mouse and I
don't like mice so they can kill all they want and it's alright
with me.
