We had a little situation at our house on Friday night. M had been grumbling for the past several nights I haven't been sleeping with her, and she misses me. Well, I've been busy - have things to do at night.
At 3:00 O'Dark Saturday morning M got up to use the human litter box, I guess. Anyway she looked for me but didn't see me. I can't get out when all the doors and windows are locked, so she went back to bed.
About 4:15 O'Dark I really pounced on M's bed. She thought I had come there to sleep----wrong! I wanted to wake her up, and I was very insistent about it too by getting in her face. She thought I just wanted her to give me more room, so she moved over. I stayed in her face. Then her brain kicked in and she knew I wanted something.
The minute she looked like she was going to get up, I shot off for the kitchen, rattled the vertical binds on the Patio and sat there like is shown in the picture. She turned on the light so she could see, and this is what greeted her:
M said now she knows why I haven't been coming to bed. I've been guarding Mousies!

You have been busy. You're a great protector from mouses, Mario.
I bet that would have been a great mousie to catch too. He would have been soooo tasty. MOL
Mario you would have had him in your clutched paws of doom in a spare second!
So close, I bet you could already taste him. Parents just don't understand at all.
Good boy Mario, keeping watch on those mousies. So what happened to the mouse?? Did you all chase him back outside?? What fun nights you have been having Mario.
That mousie was on the outside of the door, so I couldn't get him without someone opening the door for me. M would have been shrieking if he would have been inside.
Yikes! He looked pretty chubby and meaty too ;)
Wow, Mario! Too bad you couldn't get the mousie!
That is a lot of excitement, Mario!
WOW Mario! You got late night Mousie-TV!!!
It's too bad you couldn't get that mousie, Mario.
I'd wanna get to dat mousie too!
OMC, Mario!!!
We're going to have start calling you Mario the Mighty Mouse Hunter!!!
You're quite the helper, Mario. Good for you.
We're sorry you couldn't get that mouse Mario ! Purrs
Fancy not being allowed outside to gather that plump mousie which would have been a tasty nibble to snack on during the night Mario. Humans are so thoughtless.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
OH MARIO! Now that is a sight! You are so much nicer than I am. I would have been even MORE insistent. Maybe even calling mom! GOOD job Mario. And you know, when we make a big heavy bounce in the bed, the humans are always alerted that we did that for a reason. Good for your mom checking for you. xxoo
That mousie would have made a very nice snack!!
He looked very plump and tasty too Mario! Too bad M wouldn't open that screen door! :p
the critters in the cottage xo
Oh my Mario! My Mom would have screamed and screamed! Boy oh boy is she ever lucky she has YOU on mousie patrol! Love, Cody
Wow! You are a GREAT hunter! You should be allowed to go out and get mousie.
Love,
Lola and Lexy
Oh my word, Mario! No wonder you needed to get M up...we have never seen a mousie so up close like that, how exciting!
You are just doing your job, aren't you? I am glad M got such great pictures! Stay safe!
Mario, you're doing a great job alerting your mom to mousies. But 4:15 a.m. is a wee bit early for the humans to truly appreciate your diligence.
You've been occupied for a good reason!
Holy mouse droppings! It's a good thing you are on the alert in o'dark hours for mousies.
"Human litter box" - can you imagine the size of that thing? Not to mention the size of the scoop for the uh, solids? Hehehehehe
Well, THAT certainly explains it, Mario! Good job protecting your house from those mousies!
OK, we're stoopid. We cant figure out the POV in the picture. A little help?
Wowee. Up close and all, but no catching allowed? Cruelty we say.
Great pic of Mousie playing spiderman, MOL!
Great job patrolling to keep your house safe.
Eek!
To bad M didn´t let you out :(
I now you would have catched him right away :)
XOXO
Good guard kitty, Mario! Sorry M wouldn't let you out to play with the mousie. She was right, though. It might have FLEAS! EEK!
Wow!! That was quite the story, Mario!! Purrs from Deb and the Zee/Zoey Gang!
