Rice is overrated

typical feline selective hearing!

Maybe she said “stop eating lice.”

They say eating ice is bad for your teeth.

Nice.

What’s going on here? Yesterday Mrs. Claus arrived as a blonde haired woman wearing a red blouse. After making ‘friends’ with Scratch over night, today she leaves as a redheaded woman wearing a yellow blouse. (And she is leaving without Santa.)

Hey that’s what Cat’s do. Who is Scratch to go against nature ?

She definitely said to eat the rats!!

I’m pretty sure it has never been established that Scratch has successfully eaten even a single mouse.

Lice?

Mice are disease laden vermin. Kill them all, or all least frighten them away.

You know, Scratch is a butt – however, I do believe he has as much right and logic to eat mice as the pirates do to eat grilled hamburger and steaks – as well as the mice. Natural selection of the food chain.

You know, I’ve never known a cat to eat a mouse. We had a rat terrier that would hunt down the mice and drag it out to the backyard. Then the cats would torture it a while before getting bored.

Good morning Crew.

Let Scratch have what he wants, sheesh

I don’t recall Scratch ever eating a mouse, but it’s possible. I haven’t read every day. It wouldn’t be the worst thing to have happen on the ship.

One step at a time, folks.

Just don’t eat the ones we know.

Good evening, Crew!

Yep—that selective hearing with get ya sometimes.

Keep our friendly mice around, though—will ya, Scratch?

Happy (late) Friday, Crew.
