We have told you before about our strange animals.

Sport, our strange dog, took Sassy (the cat) in, as if she were his baby, when she showed up at our house.

He carried her around like a puppy,  allowed her to paw him as if she were nursing, and to curl up next to him and sleep in his bed.

This is a photo of them cuddling, that I took with my cellphone in January:

Well. . .

Now Sassy has taken in a baby of her own.

Yep, that’s a mouse. . .

And he and Sassy have  bonded.

When Sassy showed up at our house this summer, and we decided to keep her, everyone kept telling us that Calico cats were good “mousers.”

Good “mouser” . . .

Yeah, she’s a really good “mouser.”

So this is what happened:

Sassy wanted to sleep in the bathroom on Wednesday night,

after wanting to be in the bathroom all day on Wednesday,

even though I was home all day and she could have stayed out.

(We keep in her in the bathroom when we aren’t home- that’s where her litter box  and bed are.)

So anyway, we woke up Thursday morning and she was making a big racket in the bathroom,

like she often does in the middle of the night. . .

But, this time when we went in,

she was playing with her little friend.

After getting over the initial shock, and the realization that Sassy was not trying to hurt the mouse AT ALL;

we were running late, so we left them in the bathroom and went to work.

When we got home 14 HOURS LATER, they were STILL PLAYING. . .

So, now, the next day, the Cat and Mouse are still in the bathroom together, the mouse is still unharmed,

and since we are snowed in, we have been sneaking in there and watching them play for entertainment.

There is NOTHING in this world more BIZARRE to watch, than a CAT & MOUSE PLAYING NICE. . .
