Phone photo 567


The mouse in a tree.

Dreamer, one of the four cats who dwell at my place, caught this mouse and started playing with the rodent. Well, the little guy managed to slip away and climbed a young hemlock in my yard. This gained the interest of other cats who began gathering at the base of the tree, looking up and licking their chops.

Here is a phone photo of the mouse precariously hanging from an uppermost hemlock tree limb, gazing down upon at least three cats of doom.

But even though Kaspar Hauser supposedly uttered "Many cats are the sure death of a mouse" on his deathbed, my felines apparently got bored and went inside to watch TV while the mouse was allowed to escape and live another day.
