Not for the squeamish!

Our cat was sniffing around the garage today and stalking a chair that had been left on the ground. Low and behold, inside of that chair we had a little friend! I always think that I am not going to be freaked out by that, but... Yes I am! As Spencer so aptly put it as Kayleen and I ran screaming into the house, "What a bunch of girls!"

Boo (the cat) needed a little help tracking it down. He kept running places where the cat couldn't reach and then he'd just sit there!! I was determined that this was the cat's job so I had to help by moving some things out of the way. Almost more than I could handle!

Notice however that while I wouldn't get anywhere near it, I did run and grab my camera. Is that warped??? After the cat was done he so nicely left it laying in the middle of my garage... then I made Jarom go and get rid of it. He's got to learn to be a man sometime!!

Argh. I need a cat. I say props to you on getting the camera. That is the ONLY job you should have in times like that.

Thanks for the header warning, I was expecting worse. I too would scream like a girl and ran!

Beth said...

Yikes! I would have done the same thing. Either that or block off the area and let Paul find it later :). Yeah Boo! for saving you from the terror of catching it yourself.

That is so awful! I am so glad you have a mouse protector!

At least Boo is being a useful member of the family. That's what cat's are supposed to do.

I have to say that I am impressed you thought to get the camera. I think I would have been too busy avoiding the mouse.
