A little cat playing with a mouse

I never was a cat person. Ever since I can remember I was surrounded by dogs. However, life had a different plan and we recently adopted three little cats. Zosia, the youngest one, grew up on the streets and she is a real little predator. Even only a couple of months old she is a very active and successful hunter and terrorizes the many colonies of mice living around and under our house. So here is a story of a little cat playing with a mouse.

Mouse in the house

What Zosia usually would do is catch the mouse and bring it alive into the house. She then chases it through the house for a couple of minutes before she cracks, kills, and eats her somewhere hidden behind a shelf. One day we managed to grab her and carried her outside.

Zosia playing with the mouse

Instead of immediately eating the mouse, Zosia decided to play with it. Even though I felt sorry for the little mouse I had to grab my camera and take a couple of photos of the scenery. The „play“ lasted for approx. 15 minutes or so and at the end Zosia ate the mouse and almost immediately fell asleep for quite some time.
