Hi Everyone,
Remember the last couple of weeks we’ve been saying that Channel 5 News was coming to the shelter? Remember how each time we all got up and started extra early too make sure that all the little messes the furballs make were cleaned up before the TV crew showed up at 11 am? Well…. they scheduled and rescheduled 4 more times. The last time they called 15 minutes before scheduled arrival and said the news crew was called away. So far we’ve been stood up by a homicide, a prison escape, and an accident. We’re not holding our breath for a rescheduled time.
In other news, surprisingly, we’ve had a series of mousal incidents. Nine to be exact. The first one was last week. First off I’ll say that when 4 cats are cooperating and sitting outside of one of your kitchen cabinents, staring intently, there is a 98.34% chance that nothing good can come out of opening the door. This time Stewie emerged with a mouse in his mouth. This set the other cats, Bob, myself and a couple of other people off in different directions through out the house trying to separate Stewie from the mouse, the mouse from the other cats and removal of said mouse in general. At one point the mouse was running/jumping in the kitchen and headed down the steps towards another 3 rooms of cats. Bob was in hot pursuit and finally caught him at the bottom of the steps. At some point the mouse bit Bob. However, Bob’s had all his shots, so I don’t think we have to worry about the mouse catching anything from him.
We found another mouse in one of the cat beds, underneath of Ziggy, one of the older cats in the intake room. This kind of violates one of our cardinal rules: the furballs aren’t allowed to keep thier own pets.
