Mice!Or at least one mouse! Last evening Leia was acting strangely, kept crawling under the loveseat and back out; restless, not napping after dinner as she usually does before pre-bedtime playtime. She went back in and a very very small mouse darted out and promptly fled to the dining room , hotly pursued by my mouser, to hide under the china cabinet, which is too low for Leia to get under. She proceeded to stand guard by it the rest of the evening, and did not come up to bed until sometime in the wee hours. So, I don't know if she got it (no small corpse this morning) or if it's still at large!  And if it was an outlier, or brought it's family with it!  Oh, the joys of Autumn when the field mice decide to Winter indoors!

Oh dear, do you think Leia failed in her mission and the mouse is still at large? Eva herself was really demanding to be let out this morning, so i let her and with in 5 minutes she was runing back upstairs with a mouse between her teeth |

The mouse didn't play fair, Elaine! It hid where she couldn't get at it! |

Poor little thing! Did you expect it to come out with a white flag of surrender???  We have only had mice (so far!) in the garage, which is now MIL's annexe. Merlin is a rubbish mouser, Smudge was the rodent operative and Chloe next door's female cat, next door's male Smokey Joe also doesn't seem to turn a whisker. Those lazy boys! I used to set humane traps baited with honey and peanuts and then take the mice for a walk! Stupid, yes, I know!!!  |

Ooo a mouse in the house! Wonder where it went off to...hopefully outside! Our boy Snowball who otherwise just likes to lay around was acting strange like Leia was but with our couch. He kept putting his head underneath the couch & making little meowing sounds. We had no idea what was going on at this point. The other cats tried to come towards him & he would let out a big growl. He popped his head out with a white mouse in his mouth!  Snowball never catches anything so he was proud of himself even though it was unfortunate for the mouse  |

But Leia gets them all in the end. She's been completely relaxed all afternoon so it's either well hidden somewhere or she's stashed it away in a hidey place to play with later, ugh! Two years ago she found a quite dead mummified one that she'd tucked away, brought it out and I had the delightful experience of stepping on it barefoot in the dining room!!! Not the sort of thing you forget....Congratulations to Snowball, the mighty hunter! |

For all you know, Angie, Merlin may have woven a protective "anti-mouse" spell to protect the house so he needn't bother!!  |

Now funny you should say that Eileen ......... Before we started on the extension and conversion of the garage, I did have a word with The Great Mouse! There was a programme on TV here and there were a couple of mouse charmers that did that to banish mice from a cottage. Seemingly it worked, so I did the same!!!! Spookily it worked for me too, so (don't say anything to the wizard) it MAY have been my spell and not his. |

Aww Bless her, she probably waited all night for it to come out.... |

Maybe. She wasn't in bed when I turned the lights and TV off about 12:30, but was about 5 am when I got up to go to the loo. |
