The Warrior & The Coward




My Goodness what an interesting time I had this afternoon while preparing some salads for tea/dinner. I was busy grating some carrots and cheese at the kitchen cupboards when I had a beady eyed little furry thing watching me from behind the tea cannisters on the bench top in the corner.

I asked the big fella to go get Trip to see if he would catch the mouse. I carefully started moving things out of the way so that Trip would have access to this little thing & he was placed on the bench. Mark said that we should grab Saqarra too so the little dude grabbed her and brought her into the kitchen. Well while this was all happening the mouse decided to run under Trips belly and Trip jumped and ran off. I don't know whether he was a whimp or not but I found him hiding in the bedroom under the little table next to the bed. It was so funny.
Anyway the mouse ran behind the fridge and then eventually made a dash for the stove. Mark removed the bottom cover so that the cats can get under there if they want to. So the first thing my little Egyptian Warrior did was go under the stove looking for this mouse.

Mark also said that Trip may have been confused as we don't normally let the cats on the tables or cupboards. So he is probably right but it is funny thinking that one cat may be a coward when it comes to catching mice!

I tell you I just hope that they catch the little rascal. I really don't like having these furry little things staring at me when I am preparing food!!
