I;d mentioned that I thought I had a mouse...scrabbling noises in the kitchen, Leia sitting there by the hour staring intently, she didn't even come up to bed at all Sunday night.
Well, I was on the phone after dinner last night when I heard a rustling and thump in the kitchen, and a few minutes later a loud squeal from the dining room. Got off the phone to check, assumed she'd gotten the mouse, and was horrified to see it was a large rat!!
Quite dead! She was sitting there quite calmly looking at it.
What amazes me is that she's a house cat, her mum never taught her to hunt, but she quickly and efficiently killed the rat...I'm so glad she didn't get bitten, I've heard they can be vicious fighters..... I am
so proud of her......
