It was nice of you to save a toy in the basement for your cats!
LOL!
All the mouse toys’ batteries (non replaceable) have died.
The mouse in the basement is very much alive, well, and not a cat toy. I was very surprised that it could run that fast after playing dead for five
or ten minutes after I picked it up and saved it from the cats.
The cats are not allowed in the basement. There are too many places for them to hide, and too many things to fall down on them.
Plus, when they do find a mouse, they have no idea that mouse = food. They just kill it and leave it all soggy on the floor.
The last time we went to the Texas Cowboy Memorial Shoot, we came home to a pitiful little dead body on the floor. The lady who was cat-
sitting for us was too grossed out to pick it up and throw it away. It isn’t as if we don’t have 50 rolls of paper towels and three 100-count boxes
of surgical gloves. She could have put on gloves and picked it up with ten wadded-up towels, but she was too ikified even to do that.
We’re probably going to board the cats next time we go away somewhere.
