Mouse Tail, an update

A few days after the mouse-under-the-bed incident, Missy brought in another mouse, letting it go under my antique pedal sewing machine in the basement. When I got home from work that afternoon, she had re-captured it and had it, dying, on the futon in the TV room. When I brought Isaac home, we couldn’t find it, or Missy. But a few days after that Isaac sat down on the futon to watch a little TV and discovered he was sitting on a mouse tail…

Missy has since brought in another live mouse, which Isaac was able to catch and release, and we have found two more dead mice. I am quite pleased Missy is turning into such a good little mouser, but Isaac mourns each mouse lost to “Evil Cat.”
