Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 07, 2021

First contact! And they will indeed live long and prosper.

Trouble is her middle name!

The early years are fleshed out for us.

Yup, wave to the mad Mouse(!) Now, pellet that button!

Make sure everything is ready. You don’t want the authorities to question your loyalty, do you?

She is nothin’ BUT trouble!

I love their adorable little paws! Waving at each other. They are kindred spirits for sure!

Girlfriend likes the bad boys!

These mice are cute. I don’t know about real mice, though. I used to have roof rats that were small, as big as mice. They would run across my railing on my deck at night. Mice in a group would not be something I would like. I once opened my front door and a little field mouse was sitting outside on my threshold. I closed the door and when I opened it again, it was gone. Wouldn’t want it to get inside.

Love at first sight?

Now we’re getting somewhere.

I occasionally will find a little field mouse in the house. We’re pretty rural out here. I just set a live trap with a Nature Valley Granola bar because they love those. When the little mousie is trapped, I take it to the nature center about two miles away and let it go. You have to take it more than a mile away or it will find its way back.

Canned Heat, Going Up the Country

(Alice) I’m goin’ up the country, mouse friends don’t you want to go?

I’m goin’ up the country, mouse friends don’t you want to go?

Let’s go to some place where we’ve never been before

…….

I’m goin’ I’m goin’ where the cheese tastes mighty fine

I’m goin’ where the cheese tastes mighty fine

We can grab that wheel, eat gouda every time!

…….

(Natasha) I’m gonna leave this lab, got to get away

I’m gonna leave this lab, got to get away

Want to get out where the cheese is, you know I sure can’t stay

…….

(Violet)I’m gonna pack my leavin’ trunk

I know we’ve got to leave today

Just exactly what I’ve got to pack I cannot say

But it’s time to see some more of this old USA

It’s a brand new game, that I want to play

…….

No use in any runnin’, or screamin’ and cryin’

‘Cause I’ll make my home any where I find!

Alice: “Wanna crime?”

Natasha: “Heck yessss!”

wasn’t The Wild Mouse a ride at Coney Island?

At 2:00 a.m. this morning, Marie and I were at the 24-hour Emergency Animal Hospital. Giblet suffered a diabetic attack and was having convulsions on our bed. He is 13 years old. Preliminary information indicates his blood sugar was way off, and it was affecting his whole system. As of this moment, he’s blind and can’t move his back legs. The doctor is treating him but is not sure if any of the damage is permanent. We should know more later today.

I’m tired, worried and, pissed off at the Fates.

And a lifelong friendship is made, with tiny Robber Mouse jazz hands!

I had a mouse in my first apartment, before I got a cat. I managed to catch him (with my HAND, not a trap), but didn’t know what to do with him, because I couldn’t kill him. So I opened the window and tossed him onto the roof of the adjoining building. He looked around, jumped right back across the gap, into my window, and back behind the kitchen sink. So I started leaving him cheese. What else could I do?

Loving the itty bitty fingers!

I brought a mouse into the house as a kid. The cat follwed me step by step. The mouse squirmed and I dropped it. The cat had it the moment it touched the ground. Done

Mice Mice Baby!

I never go looking for trouble. I don’t have to. It seems to be able to find me whenever it wants!

We’ve all been there, when a random somebody you aren’t sure you’ve met before waves at you, and you can only awkwardly wave back.

Is Alice wearing goggles or a mask?

He wants to be friends, like the rest of us XXX

Good trouble.

She’s after recruits.

Okay, so now we know that Natasha and Violet were lab mice. Alice is a free mouse. That leaves Agnes unaccounted for. Is it possible that Agnes has been captured and is in the lab as well? That would explain why Alice is scouting the place!

Not that Alice really needs a reason to be scoping out a place—food could be anywhere!

Our debonbear Gent’s being quiet… You OK, Gent?

OT: I believe I’ve turned the corner on my road to recovery. Things that previously left me exhausted now just have me tired. I’m eating full portions with only minimal nausea instead of being on the verge of throwing up with every meal and I no longer need the walker for getting around the house

I am so sorry about Giblet. I hope he recovers. Diabetes seems to be sort of common in cats. I have a diabetic one, too, and we get his blood checked every two weeks. In between he eats only a prescription canned cat food—NO snacks of any kind. So when Giblet gets better, remember that. And I can understand your last statement very well. It’s a constant strain and very tiring. Keep us posted on this site and I’ll say a little prayer for your fur baby.

With Alice, there’s bound to be trouble.

I am a spirit member of the orb but I must tell you that I grieve for your loss
