The saga continues.............. :o

Steve came home from NZ last night...has got ants in his pants, and is up at 6am this morning.

I wander into the loo, Matilda's perched on her kitty litter tray...CC wanders out of the same bathroom...all is still and amicable.

I go back to bed, saying good morning to the ever present CC, Matilda is still trying to squeeze one out!

Steve enters the bathroom to shave, and starts yelling his head off! :ranting:

CC has brought a mouse into the bathroom as a gift for his beloved Matilda, (who is still sitting on her toilet) and is quite proud of himself.

Steve is screaming about vermin in the house! It is my fault of course. Still neither cat moves.

I have to get up, catch the terrified mouse, (now in the shower), and release it.

CC still watching the show yawns, and curls up on Steve's side of the bed, (head on pillow) for a well earned rest. <_<

Life is never boring....I nearly wet myself laughing, I had tears running down my face. :D

[CatsRU]

Yes, life is never boring with furries - you have to laugh of else you would cry!! LOL

[EmmaWiles]

At least I caught this mouse! ;) You should have seen the look on CC's face :cat:

Gotta love the cat

My old cat was a hunter like that and was always bringing us presents, but unfortunately we lived near bush so had everything from tiny frogs to red belly black snakes (on numerous occasions!!!).

Once we woke up to Tuffy exhibiting very odd behaviour and walking around everywhere stretched as high as he could go (eg back legs on floor, front paws on cupboard, walking sideways). We finally realised that all night, roaming in our house had been the hugest rat we had ever seen!! Quite a beautiful rat, actually - long fur like mohair. Anyhow, there was no way we could catch it and we had to let Tuffy chase it from one room to the other as we closed each one off. Keeping him interested was the hardest part - like your CC, they don't really want to know about it once they've presented it.

How did you manage to catch it when you would have been laughing so hard?!? Your description of it was funny enough. So much for the big, tough men hey??

Thanks for the chuckle...

Merri,

I caught the mouse between a towel and put the bathroom bin over the top of it.

They can jump pretty high though.

Frenchie

My whole life is a story....the cats are just a small and very amusing part.

CC is still looking for the mouse. I couldn't handle a snake though... :woot:

I wonder what will be next.

This is our current menagarie in a suburban house in Melbourne.

1 Husband - Steve
3 Kids - Caitlin, Patrick and Alex
2 Cats - Matilda and CC
2 Dogs - Tic Tac and Brooklyn
5 Guinea Pigs - Barry, Winifred, Lancelot, Phyliss and Eddie
3 Axelotels - Minkie, Janet and Rodney
2 Blue Tongues - Warren and Betty
Numerous gold fish.....

I should write a huge book! Especially about the time Steven brought me a fridge for my 30th! :ranting: and a chainsaw for mothers day :shocking:

[Heather Sharada]

He he he - can't help the giggles - must admit the chain saw was probably better than an axe.......was there a hint there somewhere.

As for CC and his mouse - typial man - "Matilda I caught it - you prepare it for dinner..." The fact that it is still alive and she is on the loo has nothing to do with it. lol.

Think your book would be a best seller.

That reminds me of a funny story.When we moved into our new house, we had an unwelcome visitor, Squash was watching something on the floor , he wasn't over excited,( nothing gets him excited).Anyway my Hubby said im off for a shower, when all of a sudden he screamed ,ran in the kitchen got a pair of tongs a oven mit and a tupperware box, and shouted there's a snake.In the mean time squash has rolled on his back ,and he's fast asleep.Sure enought there was a snake under the chair, hubby covered it with the tupperware box, dont ask me what the tongs and the oven mit was for , still dont know.The ranger came and got the snake and said it was harmless (Whip Snake). I have two males one was not bottered just slept, and the other, well i will let you deside. Cheers kerry :no: :yes: :bye:

Ps Who's the stronger specias,???????

Totally agree Heather, men are mice! :lol:

I nearly got my revenge with the chain saw though.

He was outside cutting wood when it slipped and sheared through the top of his runner. The twit didn't even get a scratch. He hasn't used it since.


We could all submit a funny story and call the book CWF - Stories of Mice and Men!

[Ronda]

At least CC caught the mouse !! We have recently had a family of mice take up resisdence under our kitchen sink . Sadie didn't have a clue what to do about them ... it was left to me to set the traps and dispose of them ! ( I kept showing her the dead mice hoping that she would get the idea ...but to no avail ...)
Can't believe your dh bought you a fridge for your birthday !! I bet he has never lived that one down !!!

[EmmaWiles]

It is only in the last couple of years he has brought correct presents. This has everything to do with my daughter picking them out for me! <_<
