Ever wish you had a video camera turned on???

I was sitting at the computer quietly catching up on DG. DH was in the Den watching TV. He yelled come here quick, something is wrong with one of the cats. “She's crying!” Before I could tell him that the noise she was making meant that she probably had something live in her mouth as a “gift” for us, he opened the door and let her in the house. In her mouth was a very much alive “Gift Mouse” that she had caught and was bringing to us.

Now you have to picture this. Hubby was standing there barefoot, wearing a pair of shorts. Kitty ran to him and dropped the mouse right at his feet and it ran across his foot. He yelled, no he screamed. This once macho man was running for his life. So was the mouse. The mouse ran under the chair. Hubby grabbed the first weapon that he could find. My new gardening magazine. He was yelling I am going to kill that thing. I was yelling don’t hurt it it’s just a little mouse and that's my new Magazine. I finally grabbed another magazine and we started herding the mouse out the door. Have you ever tried to herd a mouse??? Under the sofa, behind the lamp, under the chair and then behind the table, and that was just DH. LOL

Finally we got the little thing out the door and on to the deck. It was laying flat on its side with it’s little feet shaking. I thought we had killed it. I went up for a closer look, I think that the little thing was laughing. It jumped up and ran off the deck and into the yard. DH took a shower. LOL

DH is still mad at the cat. I asked if he will remember that noise when he hears the cat making it the next time. From his answer I don’t think he will ever forget that sound.
