All day, the four cats have been at attention in the bathroom - only coming out for food and treats! I was out yesterday for my nephew's birthday party/supper - when I arrived home mid-evening, I noticed that things were changed in the bathroom: there was a 'fort of sorts' built in one corner near the vanity - nothing unusual in that since Sammie likes to build things and hide her toy stash in various places around the apartment. Tonight, I could hear a definite squeaking sound coming from the dining room - Winston & Sammie were quite frantic and the squeaking and the squealing was certainly much louder - lots of scrabbling and talking going on. I spotted their prey: a grey mouse with white patches, sitting on its haunches and yelling its head off!! While searching for something suitable to trap it in - Winston chased it into the utility area - I am hoping that it has followed the path through the floor where the water tank overflow pipe goes. It is much too cold outside to toss it out in the parking lot even if I did manage to catch it live. It is after midnight now and the kitties are busy guarding the door to the utility and trying to figure a way to open the door. I can only figure that in the am, I will have a search and rescue job to do or a recovery and burial. At the moment, I am looking into four cat faces who are wondering why I have closed a door which is usually always open... jennellh
