In spring about this time I can't help but notice that there are suddenly several mice in the house I guess its their winter infants waking up as teenage mice ready to move their party outside But untill then, very late at night when the house is quiet except for the barely audible refrigerator humm I can hear the resident mice walking across paper & searching the broom for crumbs When my red cat Taser is off base on a 48 hr pass the mice get loud around midnight and become annoying about 2 am I never see them but I can hear them Last night Taser decided he was staying in to catch up on his meals and naps and was fast asleep in the studio at midnight when the mouse offense began When we heard the first rustle of the resident vermin Taser snapped awake like a shark dived off his chair as a Ninja whirlwind and descended into the darkness of the kitchen on the silence of his marshmallow feet to break up the mouse party just as it started All I could hear till the rest of the night was the barely audible hum of the refrigerator til the birds of dawn began their daybreak salutation chorus The mice will be moving outside earlier than they had planned thanks to the vigilance of the Scarlet Avenger Like the Ancient Egyptians used to say: Its so nice to have a cat around the temple
