Cat and mouse ...


Being in a 150+ year-old semi-renovated farmhouse has its benefits and a great deal of personality on the land. But there is also a downside. The main downside besides blowing the fuse everytime you run the washer, aircon, and tv together is "Moose". Moose is the friendly neighborhood field mouse who is niy uncatchable. Levi and I discovered him in our room, mostly heard him scratching around behind our boxes so we decided to arm ourselves (arming yourself is the american way after all). Instead of grabbing the broom we got inventive and grabbed the newest family members. Mary recently rescued five kittens from the feed and seed store where she gets her supplies for the goats and chickens. So Levi and I strategically places Cinco, Ichi, Zero, Banshee and Heathcliff on the corners of the room. Now I didn't actually expect the kittens to hunt the mouse but I figured their constant movement would deter a repeat appearence. If nothing else - they were fuzzy and cute.
