One of the joys of sharing your home with a cat.

Molly has always been a hunter, we have tried collars with bells on but she manages to lose them in a few days.

About 3am this morning when I had had about 2 hours sleep I woke to something moving in my bed.
I switched the lamp on, threw the duvet off and there sitting on my leg was the sweetest little mouse.
It wasn’t half as surprised as I was and I made a quick move and it jumped off and scooted under the bed, a divan base so lost to sight.
I pulled a pillow off my bed, got a spare duvet from the bottom of the wardrobe and came downstairs where I spent the rest of the night on the sofa.
It is very comfortable and I did eventually fall asleep.

The problem now is to somehow get it out.
My bedroom is very cluttered sadly, it is a storeroom for lots of stuff that can’t go in the loft.
In the last five days Molly has brought in 4 mice, the other three being dead.
She just loves to bring me presents.
I have told her she is being rehomed , she just yawned as usual.

Ah Flippinheck, I hope he’ll be OK. Perhaps he just ate a dodgy mouse

Thank you Sadgrandma. He’s still not right so off to the vet’s in the morning. Fingers crossed.

Just read this.
I do hope it is something simple and he’s soon back to his usual self.

Flippinheck, I am wondering how your kitty is doing after his vet visit, certainly hope he is over whatever it was making him ill. Thanks

I once woke up to my cat gently feeding me a live mouse. That was the last time I had cats sleep in my bedroom.

🤣 so funny, but also horrible.
