Читать книгу When We Were Kittens - David Greagg - Страница 74

Belladonna caught a mouse today. It was running across the Food Room floor and she jumped down from the table, hit it just once and it fell over. After that she lost interest in it, though my little sister played with it for a while. I couldn't see the point, but it seemed to make her happy and I imagine the mouse didn't care. Eventually Man found it and took it outside to do whatever he does with dead mice.

Woman then took a lot of my fur (off the floor of course) and made it into a little ball. I watched her push it into a small hole at the back of the Food Box. I thought this was very clever of her, because any mice who are chewing through our walls to get at the Food Box will come nose to fur with something which smells of Me, and if that doesn't discourage them I don't know what will.
