Operation Tom & Jerry II
Some more of my earlier mogular life.
Everyone enjoyed the chase so much with my first mouse; I had to have another go.
I returned to my favourite mouse hunting spot down in the undergrowth in the garden. This time it was the dead of night. All went smoothly and in no time at all I was bound for flat, live mouse in jaws.
I sped through the mogular access point and ran in to the bedroom to find Debris and Bignose fast asleep. It always seems to work that way – the time when I am most awake (during the night) they are fast asleep. Lazy twopaws!
Silently, I leapt on to the end of the bed, put the mouse down, and just as silently leapt down again. This was my latest gift!
Surprised by its new found freedom, the mouse pawsed for a second before starting to explore the top of the duvet. It didn’t show any urgency to get off and for a moment I thought it was a dud; there would be no chase and no fun for Debris and Bignose.
Then Bignose started to stir. I was not sure if he was awake or just restless. For some reason the mouse crept in the direction of his face. Then suddenly he put the light on. His eyes widened in apparent surprise. The mouse froze like a rabbit caught in the headlights. There was a blissfully amusing moment as they both stared at each other, face to face. It seemed to go on for an age but in reality it must have only been a second or two. Then, all of a sudden, just as Bignose went to grab it by the tail, the mouse shot off. The chase was on!
Debris was soon awake and it was full Operation Tom & Jerry all around flat. Room to room, chair to chair – it was great! After a long and very rewarding chase, Bignose escorted the mouse out through the front door. Unfortunately he then locked the mogular access point so I was not able to go out and bring it back in. The chase was over.
From that day on, the mogular access point was kept locked over night. I don’t know why – we all enjoyed it so much!
