Except for This Stupid Mouse!
This mouse was not harmed during a long play session. Dad Tom released him in the yard, and he ran away.
NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING…
Social Media
ONE OF A KIND
I don’t know how to say good-bye.
I thought you were invincible; though,
You used up many of your nine lives.
You ruled us all with an iron paw;
Never took “no” for an answer
And always got your way.
If not, you’d bark to signal your
Displeasure and sometimes raise a paw.
I always joked that you were bi-polar.
When I told people you were a calico
They immediately understood what I meant.
Today was unnaturally quiet in the house.
Can a home seem empty with eight cats?
I will miss waking up at night to find you
Sitting next to me and staring at me.
I will miss you yelling at us as you did
When you wanted breakfast and dinner.
I will miss watching you lounging and snoozing
On the porch settee on a warm afternoon.
But most of all I will miss your kisses!
When kitten Sawyer befriended you,
We suspect you were imparting your
Wisdom and secrets for controlling us.
Time will tell if he was a good listener.
But whatever he may have learned,
Neither Sawyer nor any other cat
Can or will replace you in our hearts.
Lily Olivia, you were one-of-a-kind.

Holy CARP! Santa brought you a live mousie?????????????????
The Florida Furkids with bazillion kisses and tons of love to Mau from Allie
O M C…….. a real mousie……………a real mousie. My fur sibs and I wouldn’t even know what to do if we saw a real one. Thank you Dad Tom for releasing him to the outside world.

PS Loads of love to my sweetie Ms Lisbeth…… I miss you!
That mouse is lucky that Dad Tom freed it in time. Good job, mighty Sawyer!
Eeks! A real mousie. I would be on a chair screaming.
Oh. My. Word. That is an inborn trait. Some have it; some don’t.
The mouse? Godspeed.
Hugs.
Oh wow!
EEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!!!
Well done Sawyer, you are a Mighty Hunter! That was a very lucky mouse. They only had a one way ticket when Flynn was here.
Memories of Eric and Flynn
Oh my gosh! That mouse is suppppppper, dupppper lucky!
Dang, you said a mouth full!
Well done, Sawyer! It sounds like you play with mice like Eddy does over here at our house. Lots of playing and toying, but no harm and no foul. Purrs to you!
Wow, Sawyer! You have already proven your worth as a Kitty Blue!
Mousies don’t fare as well when they come on for warmth here. I usually ded them before mommy can become aware of them. I think I need therapy. You are a good kitty! XX
WOW! Lucky mousie! WAY TO GO SAWYER! I’ve never had a mouse and neither did Angel Sammy…..you look VERY excited – just look at those eyes!
Hugs, Teddy
OH MY CAT
S.A.W.Y.E.R!!!!!!!!!!!
Dat’s one lucky mouse!
Wow, Sawyer, you sure got yourself a prize! A real mousie! Sorry you had to put it outside…poor thing, back into the cold…maybe it will find the hole to come back inside and if not at least some bird seed to feast off of.
Well done, Sawyer ! Too bad you couldn’t eat it ! Purrs
That mouse should consider herself (I THINK it’s a she) very lucky!
