Good kitty!

Sonny usually goes down to the basement for a long deep sleep on his
favourite cushion around 4 or 5 when he comes in for the day. However
yesterday he rushed down there around 3. So I wondered why. From the top
of the stairs I could see him beside the litter box, batting at something
dark and round. I thought a nugget had fallen off when he did his business.
But no, it was a baby field mouse. I yelled for DH, then saw another baby
mouse 3 feet away. DH scooped them up and took them to the park nearby.
They seemed to have fallen from the ceiling beams and were in shock.
There's no way we can find mamma with all the junk down there, and we sure
hope she didn't have 10 babies. So, we're off to the store to buy a humane
trap.

We learned years ago to listen to our cats. When they do something out of
the ordinary, go look!
