Seriously, who needs a cat.....

.....when you have a Fred?
Fred is definitely a cat. In fact, his nickname is "meow-meow". I realize that when The Husband and i call him that in front of other people, it is probably the most annoying thing to hit their ears, but i digress.
I was in the kitchen fixing a sandwich, and Fred BOLTED from the kitchen to the couch, and tried to get under it. Awww crap. I have been hearing some rustling in the walls, and now i have proof that there is a freaking mouse in the house. Fred would not leave FOOD for nothing. He would however leave dead, inanimate food for the prospect of live, to-be-killed-and-eaten-while-still-puke-warm food. Just like a good cat.
What did Henry do while all this was going on? Stared fixedly at my bologna and cheese sandwich. He knew a bite was coming his way, and there was no way he was going to chase after a future friend when there was a bite of sandwich coming his way. He knew i was going to card-making class later, and he would have plenty of time to root out the mouse, and be BFF's with it.

Grotty little mice in the walls... or could it be squirrels??? I spent an entire summer watching squirrels move in to our neighbor's attic next door (back in our city-dweller days). I asked her if she'd been hearing noises. The 'problem' became an entire summer of re-roofing the house, and they found "other" nests in the kitchen walls, so a rip-out was started there, too. Boy, I hope Fred is up to the task of rat-terrier... bit big for squeezing into tight spaces, though. C
