Tchah! Bipeds ...

Perl on Nutrition - Wed, January 13 2010

So, because this cat is here and possibly threatening my power base, I decided to catch a mouse last night. Long story short, I caught one, swallowed it, then because it tasted like old socks, spat it up on the couch. The female biped acted like I'd done something wrong. I admit the couch was not ideal, but it wasn't exactly something I *chose* the timing of. Still, she was acting like I was caught wearing a Vick jersey or listening to disco.

The male biped was cool about it, natch; he's dealt with dead bodies before, having hunted and worked on farms and attended a soccer game in England. But he wouldn't let me eat it or nibble it. Tchah! Some people's children ...

You swallowed it WHOLE? Yakking it up on the couch would have made my mama pretty grossed out and unhappy, too. But like you said...when it needs to come back up, you can't plan these things.

I've never had a mouse. I always assumed they'd be tasty. Maybe you just had a bad one.

Excellent Perl, you're my Hero.

Last night, Daddy thought he saw a mouse & so began tipping over furniture looking for it. I never saw it, if it ever existed, but I hope I'd be such a good hunter as you were.

Okay...from one beagle to another...that was gross.
You are just like our beagle cousin, Jasper. He eats anything.
Our mom is on your mom's side.

Gotta love a Beagle!!

Our cat catches those but doesn't eat them so I'm assuming they don't taste good. The cat just leaves them for mom to find. Mom said any mouse that comes into our house has got to be stupid with a house full of Yorkies and a cat.

Never ate one before. I found it best to leave them in the middle of the living room floor to be discovered and admired. Good to know I'm not missing anything like bacon flavoring or something.

"Soccer game in England..." Hahaha, that's about the best funny thing I've heard in forever, Perl! Hehehehe. I suppose mice aren't for everyone, kinda like snails or something, but I LOVE 'em!
