I have only just read your interesting comments about Mr. Pussy. At about the same time, that is, quite a few years ago, I also was allowed to share my house with another Mr. Pussy who had the same way with mice and other small mammals. I put a bell around his neck and proceeded to tell my children that it did not impede Mr. Pussy’s activities, for he used to ensure that the bell did not ring by holding it with one of his front paws. It was fun developing the feline activities of our pet, as he walked around on three legs.
My children told bedtime stories to my grand-children about the amazing tricks that Mr. Pussy could do on his remaining usable legs. Tight-rope walking was not one of his accomplishments.

Mr. B brought in some sort of prey in the small hours of the morning. I heard the ruckus but I can’t find a body. I fear I will smell it long before it is found. Such is the way of the tiny tiger.

P.S. I adore your blog!

In reply to betsy. Mr Pussy caught a mouse in the kitchen and ate it on my bedroom floor yesterday...

my cat spike made the opposite journey from a flat to the wild countryside of cumbria…the first time she went out, swallows divebombed her, so she never attempted to catch a bird. but she caught everything else, and indeed often brought them home at night, dragging them up the stairs to the bedroom, and often dispatching and consuming them under the bed at 3 in the morning….a rather disturbing if regular event.
