Ye of little faith

I owe evil cat an apology. When I came downstairs this morning with little bear she was playing with a mouse. It wasn't dead. I thought for a moment, then ignored the whole scene to go downstairs to make toast, thinking all the time how impressive it was that evil cat actually caught a mouse.

When I came back up she had lost it. Later I shall have to check behind and under things to see if there are remains.

I didn't think she could catch a mouse, and I was wrong. However I was not surprised that she lost it. Hunting for mice is instinctive and evil cat has a malicious and evil streak. Killing a mouse is a learned skill and I don't think evil cat was ever shown. She may manage to become self taught, with opportunity.
