Jasper, mighty mouser

The shots did make us sick and miserable for a day, but now we’re all better.

After weeks of darting into the mud-room to chase after the mouse, Jasper has caught and killed it. He pounced on it like lightning and brought it into the house with its tail dangling from his mouth. Samuel thought this was super cool. Ziva went around sniffing. Jasper didn’t want to be interfered with, so he carried the corpse under Samuel’s bed and played with it there until Karin took it away from him. Then, how Jasper glared.

I think the mouse was his little gift to himself. His adoption day was this week.

In the seven years that he’s lived with Karin, this is the third mouse he’s caught but only the first he’s killed.

The kitties used to run back and forth like crazy every night around nine o’clock. Now Samuel does this.

“Everybody wants to be a cat.”

The kitties laze around.
