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 in 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 catching the mouse and bringing 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 a sleep for quite some time.
