I found mom and, unfortunately, the flashy beast...they are joined at the hip.
Lo and behold here is the 'Mouse platform' fully equipped with a mousie with a very long tail that ever so slightly moves.I told mom not to worry I had my eye on the mousie and its tail. I also expect there is something very wrong with the flashy beast. In this picture it portrays me as laid back, lazy feline. When, in fact, this is my famous nonchalant pounce in progress pose. You felines know the one, where we are hardly breathing, our eyes appear drowsy, but there is that every so slight tilt in the ears while the brain is calculating the Physics involved in the Pounce.

Hello Madi, Diva Cat!
ReplyDeleteWe thoughts it was going to be a real mouse, s in VERMIN and were going to volly to come and gets it fer yer (we are the Krays rember?). Turns out it a compoooter thing and we not eat wires any more.
Sooo about the ears thing, we have observed Margaret the neighbours cat very closely and can confirm a CAT will spring without warning. Will be watching her ears next time...
Lol
Hector and Bonny too!
PS We saw your admission that it wasn't really icing on the leaf yesterday. You know, mum was convinced your mom a cakey bakey lady 'til she was told.
Madi, you are such a clever feline!
ReplyDeleteThe old "I'm pretending to rest my eyes, but I'm really keeping an eye on that mouse thing" ploy!
Chin scratches to you,
Hugs to Mom,
Kathy
Oh, I know that position. Simone has it when she's deciding whether she wants to attack something or let it be - for now. It fools some, but not me. I bet that mouse, being new on that platform, has no idea what you're thinking. Very feline of you, Madi.
ReplyDeletelotsa licks, Lola
HEHE, You do look cute there Madi! Just don't go biting that mouses tail, or you could get a bit of a jolt.
ReplyDeleteMadi,
ReplyDeleteI thinks you is right to keeps an eye on dat mouse....you never know what they may be up to. :)
Woofs and Licks,
Maggie Mae
Hello!!! I'm so happy that you stopped by to visit with me and hope to see you sometime joining in on the New Thursday Themesong meme!! That would be fun to have you participate.
ReplyDeleteI love Madi...she's beautiful. Of course that is coming from a cat lover y'know. LOL
AND!!! May I say your blog header is just simply stunning!!! [oh ya, and I agree with your husband, I too would recommend retiring. LOL]
Stop by anytime. If you don't mind, I would like to become a follower of yours.
Good work Madi, you are keeping a very close eye on that mouse!
ReplyDeleteWe can imagine how pleased you mom must be when you pounce!
We thought your office was very tidy and would you believe that is what our human is doing today - trying to clear ours up!!!
Have a good day and watch out for those mice....!
love and kisses

ReplyDeleteDon't let it get away!
Yup, we know the pose, sweet Madi....and we know given time, you will pounce....but everything has to be just right first!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe love y'all.
Someone has quite a way with words.

ReplyDeleteRosie "da boss" Cat
Your mom has a mouse and she bought a platform for it?? Hmmm...

Kisses and hugs

Madi! You know the best places to sit! Watch that mouse! When it gets big enough you can eat it.
ReplyDeleteCareful how you time your pounce Madi those mousies are sneaky!
ReplyDeleteThe mouse on mommy's desk used to have a tail and I liked to chase it but mom must have chopped the tail off cause it doesn't have one anymore, poor mousie. It doesn't matter I will get that mouse someday, MOL.
Purrs,

ReplyDeleteI lost my internet connection last night just after I did my Squirrel Eyes post. It has been coming and going for almost two weeks now, very frustrating.
We know that is the ready to pounce mode really Madi. Sometimes when I wait for a mouse, I stand motionless and barely breathing waiting for exactly the right moment. Then Eric comes stomping along and scares the mouse off.
