Piwackit Pays Up

[Railroad]

Piwackit sounded frisky this morning as she scrambled and ran around the house this morning. After everything got quiet, while on my way out to leave for work, I discovered that Mr. Mouse had met his demise as a result of Piwackit's hunting skills. I deposited his remains rather unceremoniously in the kitchen trash can. Good kitty!

I thought her name was just Pi. Good job, Piwackit! I guess you extended her name after she caught Mr. Mouse. Love it!

Is she front declawed? My cats are, and they amaze me that they can catch mice, anyway.

I threatened to call her "Pie" because she's such a piglet when it comes to food, but no, her original name was Piwackit - "Pi" for short, and one of these days if she really ticks me off I shall tell her that she has lost 3.1415929 lives out of 9 - and not to screw up what's left.

She still has all 16 claws, and has yet to use any of them on me. I think Mr. Mouse might not have been so lucky.

Pi is on "Mouse Patrol" again this morning! She is currently stalking a very small dark-colored mouse which was hiding under the refrigerator. Pi asked me to pull the refrigerator out, and the mouse dashed into the bathroom. Looks like it's hiding under the vanity.

I have a flat, and I mean flat-faced Persian that can catch Mice like the best of them!

Pi got another mouse this morning. Just flushed it down the toilet because it was still breathing. I feel sorry for the little mice, but they chose to come in here, and I won't deal with the destruction and diseases.

ANYway, I'm so glad that Pi is such a good "mouser!"

Interesting name for a cat...

Interesting name for a cat...

She's named for a seal-point Siamese cat in the movie "Bell, Book, and Candle" starring Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart. Lucky cat, that. Should have been nominated for Best Supporting Feline.

...and that's why I thought it was an interesting name for the cat. Spelling's a bit off, though...

Yeah, I know the spelling's off. There are a couple of different spellings out there. I chose to spell it "Piwackit" so that her nickname is "Pi" (3.14159).

TOO sad

I went into the unused bathroom looking for a light bulb a few minutes ago and found mama mouse and 3 tiny pink newborns in their nest made of shredded toilet paper in one of the vanity drawers. Mama got away but I had to dispose of the babies and the nest.

OMG I feel like sh!t.

I don't like mice & don't want them in my house but I'm not sure I could have done that...it would have haunted me. (and right now I'm sure I'm getting "that look" from my husband...)
