At least the cat waited until 5:00 this morning to bring in a mouse. Unfortunately, I don't know if it is because it was a different species or because it is more mature than the others, but this one was a lot faster and a lot more willing to make a run for it. It took me about 20 minutes to catch it.

It was pretty hilarious that I had the vacuum out again and instead of running under it, the mouse and the cat ran around it. Four times. Of course, then I had the Farmer in the Dell song in my head. I put the cat in the guest room and got the mouse out and then put the cover on the cat door before letting the cat out of the room. I worked out, registered for the language sessions since my fancy headset came yesterday, showered, dressed and on my way out, tried to get the cover off of the cat door. I tried prying it with a screwdriver and an awl and a hammer...finally I gave up and called me dad. He has to come into town to go to the bank so he said he'd stop by around 9:00 to take it off since I had to go to work. It was not that hard to take off the last time.
