Tabby The Mouser
Mouse hunting in the field behind our house
It’s been more than a month or so since my last Tabby update.
In the many months since we got Tabby, she’s been quite the adventurous cat. One of her many adventures is to go to the canal behind our home and explore.
Tabby spots a mouse….
The thing she is exploring for the most? Mice. She’s caught at least a dozen of them and brought them back to the house for us. As you can see above, it’s like a field – which is a haven for mice.
… and it has been caught – poor mouse
We always praise her for her catches, but then we distract her and take the mouse – usually it’s very wounded or dead by the time she’s done playing with them – and toss them back over into the canal area.
It’s a challenge to keep her out of the house with the mouse. Several have found their way into the house and it’s an even bigger challenge to catch it once it’s loose and get it back outside.
Another Tabby update again soon.

Can I borrow Tabby come winter?
Sure thing. She’s does eat a lot (more than the mice)
Good kitteh!
Yes she is.
Tabby is such a bad ass!!! Ha ha. Love that last pic 🙂
Yeah, I was happy to have caught that photo. She’s all speedy when she’s got the mouse in her mouth.
I miss not having a cat. Had them off and on for as long as I can remember. I think we’ll try again with a kitten this time. We adopted a male adult cat last year. Didn’t really work out. He kept teasing my older dog to the point where the dog was so nervous he wouldn’t go to sleep. Final straw was him swatting my daughter across the face and causing a couple of cuts by her eye.
So we gave him up for adoption. Funny thing is that for a while I really missed the little fella but knew he couldn’t stay with us. Couldn’t ever trust him around my daughter again. And being special needs, she doesn’t know how to really defend herself.
I completely understand that situation. I’m sure the cat found a good home again. Sometimes they are just not good for the environment.
