Merry Meanderings #12 Three mousies and two Weasels

"
When I was tellin you about the indoor huntin which Waifacat did provide for me I did mention the time she brought in many mousies and  weasels in one day. I gonna tell you that story now....

"You lookin at me?" WaifaCat 20/7/15

A few years ago the very Senior mother of The Big Boss was in a place where she needed to be looked after. The Big Boss's people did come here often to stay so they could visit the Senior mother.  One of these peeps was what I would call "a town person": she not one to pick up a fork in the stable (though she did pick up forks quite happily in the house) and help; I never did see her in those rubber boot things what my Person do wear all the time. She was not really a doggy person either though she was always kind enough in an odd way. Just always talked to us like we were 'foreign bodies'.
Anyway, WaifaCat did not have much time for the strange peeps and did mostly just walk through the room they were in and go about her business as if nopawdy there.
"One day as all the peeps was sittin at the table and eatin their first meal, Waifa did stroll through and drop somethin on the floor: the Town Person did see this and suddenly made a very loud sharp noise and point.
Well, that seemed to me a signal so I did go where she did point - and there was a mousy just runnin behind our sofa! I did catch it and give it to my person. And the peeps did carry on eatin and talkin.
A little while later WaifaCat did stroll through and put somethin down on the floor again. The Town Person did make the loud sharp noise again and pointed to a cupboard. I did trot over to investigate. I larfed cos there was another mouse in the corner.
I did catch it and give it to my Person.
And the peeps, after a little while of making silly noises, did settle down and carry on doin what they were doin.
I went back to sleep.

Soon I heard a little noise and the pesky cat did come into the kitchen again with another mouse which she did put down on the floor under the table where the peeps were all sittin.. This time the Town Person did jump up and she was angry and she did make much fuss and noise and did leave the room. I caught the mouse again and did give it to my person - again - and I did give Waifacat a 'Look'. She did pull a face at me, Honest she did.

Well the visiting people did go off to see the Senior person and the rest of us did go about as we usually do.
Later the peeps did come back and everypawdy did sit outside cos it was a lovely day.
The Town Person had become normal again and was talkin and talkin.
Pilot and Puddy Cat snoozed in the sun while the peeps talked.  The town person did talk about the mornin mousies and say how much she scared of them and then she talked about a cat from her town who fetched its person a weasel. WaifaCat was gone.

WaifaCat's weasel

Well, the afternoon did go on and then my person did see WaifaCat coming up to the front of the house where we was all sitting with something in her mouth - which she did take into the house and put down on the floor.  It did half smell - worse than anythin I has ever smelled before..... When my person did come in and see it she did be very surprised. "A Weasel!" she did say. And She did take it back outside to show all the peeps.The Town person did make sharp noises again. Lots of them.  Well, I did larf but WaifaCat was not pleased. My person did take the weasel away and Waifa wanted to take it further into the house to give to the Town person herself - she didn't realise everyone was out in the garden!
Well, WaifaCat was a wild cat before she did come to live with us. She not one bit stupid. She did disappear again. For a long time. All the peeps did go indoors and do indoor things and much later, much later indeed they was eatin and the Cat did come back from her huntin.
"You watch this" she said to me as she walked past with another weasel in her mouth - I know it was one cos it did smell as sharp as the first one. And I did watch that clever cat. She walked past me into the kitchen and under the table.
"Errrugh" said the town woman very sharply.... as WaifaCat did put the smell weasel down on the floor under the table where that woman was sittin.............. and that woman did make some very sharp strange noises again. I think she did not like the weasel.
Well, it was all too much for all the other peeps. They did larf and larf and cat did look so very pleased because for the first time the town woman did see the pressie which she had brought in for her.
"See" Waifa said to me "She make all that noise cos she is really pleased with my pressie... she know it special and she did say about that other cat who was so clever and did fetch a weasel. Well I a very clever cat - cos I did catch her two............"

She never did catch another one. She never did go near the town person again when that person came to stay. I don't know why and she not tell me, but I think I can guess..............!
Bet you all can too."
