    I have one cat that is not a good mouser. Well...he's a great mouser. It's just that he seems to have gotten things a bit backwards. He gets mice, often, but he prefers to bring them IN, rather than take them out.
    I mean, he will absolutely murder a mouse/rat. In fact, I believe he thinks of nothing else.
    The other cats act like you would expect. Eat, mouse, eat, nap, eat, lay around being cute, receive pets etc.

    This one though...will often have brought a mouse in before I wake up at 5AM. He's all : Morning mother! I have a mouse in my meaouth. Or possibly: I have trapped it in the boots or just behind the door. I just wanted you the see and glory at this juicy specimen, I, myself, have subdued!

    I'm like...great dude. We've discussed this several times. He knows the commands in English and French.
    Mouse! OUT! Souris! DEHORS!

    And then he takes it out etc, but he's such a weird cat! Cats have evolved alongside us with a very specific arc. I will mouse for you, you will provide me with shelter and goods and services. You may even pet me.

    I dont know how he's gotten it backwards!? We love him very much anyway!

    I hope this was a funny story and I didn't upset anyone with the (hopefully mild) mouse content!

      Beautiful picture. Beautiful dog. I have had great experiences with big smart dogs. I have shown this picture before, but here is mine before he passed last year. https://imgur.com/a/c0FDbwJ

        I am sorry to hear, it must be hard to say goodbye to such a special companion. Your dog looks very happy though !

          Treasure your friend. They don't live long enough.
