I had thought today was like my usual mornings. Eat breakfast, drink cups of coffee and chit chat with my neighbors over breakfast. But mom decided to add a little extra fun by being a Sherlock Holme and solve the mystery to the holes in the soil of most of her potted plants.

Gloves- check. Gardening spades- check. Fat cat lazing beside her- check. Within 10mins of her solving mystery frenzy, the whole breakfast table was shaken up by her loud surprised yelling. Mystery of the holes in the potted plants solved.

A female birthing mouse was the culprit behind the holes. Yes, birthing… she was in labour and there was 3 newborn mice in the holed up nest. The poor mouse made the mistake of running away which attracted the attention of my lazy old cat. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my hunting cat move at fast speed and pouncing with the graze of a gazelle.

After making a chew toy out of the fat mouse, Kontot finally had enough fun and spat her prey out. By now my other cat, he eats almost everything (he loves fried Bayam), had woken up from his nap. He saw the nest of the mouse that my mom had digged out and after sniffing on the newborn mice, he proceeded to make them into his breakfast.

By now, everyone at the breakfast table had taken a keen interest in the National Geographic Channel live show and I was having trouble at trying to finish my breakfast. I’m not sure how the newborn mice tasted like but my cat sure like its breakfast.

We had thought he would only eat the young ones but he surprised everyone when he continued to eat the mother. It only took him a few minutes and he left nothing behind.

I did manage to get the picture and if its too much to view them, please look away.
