Please don't shriek and hide behind a cushion - what you're about to hear can happen in the country.
Ten minutes ago, lying in bed, watching tv, a tiny field mouse scampered across the bedroom floor.
They're mowing in the field next door, this is no surprise to us - but the cat's reaction was.
The mouse made it from the window recess to the fireplace, and sat there, quietly.
The cat, lying on a rug by the fireplace, got up, strolled over, sniffed the mouse, and walked away.
This cat is the most murderous mouser known to man - she brought in a mole last night, fgs.
The mouse was so calm I flung a towel over it and released it (I'm not spiteful) and the cat is ... unrepentant.
So, do cats have a conscience? House mice bad, misdirected field mice ok?
