Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Perrine just woke me up. By chasing another mouse around in my bed. A baby (well, juvenile) this time. While I watched, gathered my wits, and sought a container in which to catch it (I wound up using a plastic film cannister), the mouselet made it to the floor and was brought back to the bed by Perrine three times, so I'm guessing that it didn't start out in the bed. And I'm wondering if the previous, adult mouse was brought to my bed and escaped there rather than running onto my bed on its own. What I've got no clue about is whether she's initially catching them somewhere in the bedroom, or bringing them upstairs from the kitchen.

Perrine continues to be good at catching mice but not great at keeping them once she's caught them. I did need to help her find the young mouse again when it got away from her and found papers and CDs to hide under.

On the one hand, I didn't need to be woken this way, and I'm not happy about mice in my bed. On the other hand, it's two fewer mice in the house, and my cat is so cute when she hunts ...
