Default Cat play circle

After last Monday's escapade with the baby squirrel I was hoping for a
little respite. No such luck. Yesterday as I was vacuuming I pushed aside
a piece of furniture and one of my cats was shortly thereafter quite
animated. I went downstairs, came up an hour later and found 5 cats in a
circle--no kidding--batting a very live mouse back and forth between them.
"Your turn!" "No, my turn!" It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. I
scooped the mouse up in the trashcan I use for litter and escorted it
outside, dazed, but living.

That was a very nice thing to do but why didn't you let the cats have the
mouse?

I suspect even a short stay in *that* trashcan would leave anybody dazed!

I was recently chatting to a vet friend of mine, and he regaled a tale
of how he used to raise mice for the express purpose of feeding his
cats...

You are aware of the natural order of things.
Predator - prey etc?

Cats EAT mice. Deal with it.
It's in their fuzzy nature.

Try not to let your mind wander...
It is too small and fragile to be out by itself.

On Tue, 27 May 2003 12:19:08 I was Wollkooked:

This spammer is full of ****. Get out of my mail or face legal action.
I have no such email addresses listed nor would I remove them if I did. The
spammer in question is a spammer--that's it, he has harassed and defamed me
and my companies for 7 years now and I really don't care what you want.
The ISP sending me this threat is hosting a defamation website that is
being sued and will be removed from the net+ damages. boink--I have
already requested at least THREE times that this abuser cease and desist
mailing me, therefore I ask that you take action to kill this offending
account immediately.
