Meeska, Mooska?

The first ominous sign was an icky mess on the kitchen floor this morning that Mommy had to clean up. Then I heard a shriek from upstairs. It was Daddy. He came running down and Mommy went up to explore.
There, at the top of the stairs was my kitty cat friend Emma, sitting with a content look on her face, protecting her treasure. Curled up at her feet was a tiny and very dead little mouse. Emma killed Mickey! I guess this mouse forgot to say the magic words before he came inside. This was no magic clubhouse.
Apparently, I'm being raised in a home infested with rodents. But before you call social services, I'd like to point out that this was a very cute rodent, one I probably would have enjoyed playing with. Luckily we have cats like Emma kitty who surprisingly still have natural instincts beyond napping and eating canned food. And I'm lucky to have a brave Mommy who will pick up dead rodents and bugs when Daddy won't go anywhere near them. What a whimp.
Hopefully the rest of Mickey's friends will be a little more careful if they try to sneak into our house in the middle of the night.

Dear, Dear Evan,
Your Mommy is indeed brave to clean up the mouse/mess. She obviously got that trait from Papa who could get rid of anything with his trusty shovel. I'm with your Dad on this one. Yuk and Double Yuk! Your Mom was also raised in a home "infested with rodents" who snuck in from the wood pile. Nana was only good at catching them in a shoebox and taking them outside far from the house.
Good for Emma and Mommy!
Love, Nana
Dear Evan,
Can Emma please come visit Bubbie and Zayde? We seem to have a similar problem. We have caught several mice in the last couple of days. Zayde says they are coming inside because of all the rain. Bubbie doesn't like those little critters. Zayde thinks they are cute. He takes them to the creek down the street and sets them free. Bubbie wants to get a cat to but Zayde says the mice are less trouble.
Love, Bubbie
