What did he do with the tail?
The other evening, Nanki-Poo was playing vigorously, batting a toy around
and having a great time. When I went toward him to see what he was playing with, he picked the toy up, looked at me defiantly, and walked away from me. I could see then that it was a rather plump mouse. There was no way I was going to get it away from him, so I left him to it. I went to bed, leaving him with his "toy", and knowing I'd have a little corpse to dispose of in the morning. I hoped he'd just leave it whole, as he does when he kills a rat. When I got up, I found some entrails in the hallway. On my beige carpet. I never found anything more. It's been two days now, and I still haven't found any more bits of mouse anywhere. Apparently he ate it, but surely he didn't eat the tail! So what did he do with it? -- Joy **Don't believe everything you think** |

Yesterday, Avery was playing with his latest mouse catch and I wasn't paying attention, instead I was sitting at the kitchen table watching the TV in the living room. Avery decided he was being slighted, so he bounced the mouse off my upper arm - *that* got my attention. Soon, he got tired of being watched (or of playing with it) and took the mouse off somewhere to eat it. I haven't found any remains either. -- T.E.D. ) |

Mine usually eat the entire mouse, entrails and all! (Maybe he wasn't very hungry.) |
