In old Amsterdam no longer...














Tigger is a large, lazy, striped and very vocal moggie who loves her food and home comforts. She makes most cats appear positively dynamic. However, she has one attribute which is extremely useful. She is an excellent hunter and her kill rate was increased today with the addition of one large mouse. What was unusual was the chase up the side of the house and the mouse sheltering just below the eaves. Tigger has the patience of a saint when on the trail of a rodent and the inevitable happened. The times we do object to her killing instinct involves the local birds. Pigeons, sparrows and on one occasion a large seagull although Tigger wisely backed off the latter.













Whilst this excitement was happening Mog slept through it all several feet away. He has all the skill of a flamingo in clogs when it comes to stalking prey. He also sleeps on the bird table when it rains. Happily he is no threat to the local wildlife.














Her usual prey.

TTFN.

She added a second mouse today.
I'll have to paint little Mickey Mouse ears on her fur for each kill.
