I was having a yak on the phone to Veronica this morning and wandering around the kitchen at the same time when I noticed a mouse. A mouse on the “drying rack” above the woodheater..
ME: I think i just saw a mouse.
VON: A mouse? You need a schwacker.
ME: *giggles* I will get the cat hang on.. (phone in hand I go searching for a cat)
Von: You can’t schwack it with a cat.
ME: I can try.
VON: Get the camera too!!!
ME: *giggles*
( I find the camera and the kitten) I have to put the phone down because as talented as I am I cant take a photo of a mouse, hold a kitten and talk to my daughter on the phone at the same time.. I manage to get 3 blurry photos of the mouse.
ME: This is harder than it looks…
(more giggling from both vonnie and myself)
VON: What’s happening have you schwacked it yet???
(The mouse is now precariously balanced on a coathanger, and the kitten has wriggled out of my grasp and is focused on the empty cat food bowl on the other side of the kitchen *sigh*)
ME: Bloody stupid useless kitten..
Von: Grab a schwacker.. What’s Happening??
ME: I showed the mouse to the kitten, the mouse leaped off the coathanger and scurried behind the heater. I threw the kitten at the mouse (gently of course). The kitten ignored the mouse and the fucking mouse has vanished and the stupid arsed cat is at the food bowl again.. *sigh*
Von: At least you got photos. Are you going to blog about it???
Me: probably..

I didn’t say schwacker that much! I did mention it though, amidst the giggling.
I LOVE the photos. LOVE them.

It’s spring here, and I swear in the last couple of days I have seen more mice than in the fall, when they would seek shelter. Mine move really fast, and none of that picture taking. I don’t schwack them, though, I leave out a potent poison, under the stove and fridge. That’s where I see them heading, although I’ve neer seen them come out.

Yesterday as I was SCHWACKING the umpteenth spider in my house and I was feeling all kinds of violated by critters, I thought of you and Veronica and your mice. I felt better. I’m just glad Veronica has expanded my vocabulary to include schwacker!!!

I’m guessing forceps would be required for that.

Nuts!
Oh, good photo, considering you’re running about at the same time. Funny how instead of thinking, “Nobody’s gonna believe this…” now we think, “I’ve gotta BLOG about this!”

So .. are those marsupial mice or regular placental mice? Not that it makes any difference, mind you, it’s just that the area of the world y’all live in is full of strange creatures and I just thought it would be interesting to know what you’re dealing with. Besides, I think the marsupal mice are probably quicker and harder to schwack – less equipment to drag around and therefore more nimble and agile. On the other hand, if it’s placental mice that are terrorizing you, your kittens probably would have a difficult time recognizing them as lunch, given that the native species they usually munch on are marsupial. See?
lceels last blog post..100 Word Challenge – Want
every bad thing that happens in this house turns into a blog post. And something to piss me off to add to my perpetual pissedoffedness…
Wish I had a cat to throw at something though. Would a large child do?
Kelleys last blog post..Dunno what to call this, what about Kelley loses her shit again..
Oh LOL – good capture .I saw today we have a mouse- stupid thing is trying to chew through an old icecream container under the sink…leaving blue sh*t
maybe leave the mouse a beer (or dregs) and the cat might catch him…if he is drunk I am going to try it.
everyone seems to be have mice or a mouse in the house.

No mice here, haven’t seen a single one in yonks. I feel quite left out……..On second thoughts, no, I don’t.
Maybe you should buy the kitten a schwacker? He probably doesn’t want to dirty his paws.

A brave post after Veronica’s mouse blanket fiasco but I do love a good mousey picture and was wondering if you and Veronica would mind bringing your schwacking skills up our way. Soon.

Sorry XBox, you crack me up – even on someone elses blog – which I happened upon while strolling through yours!
This is a very busy blog isn’t it? I will need to spend a little longer browsing. Oh and please don’t thwack the mouse. It may have lots of teeny babies hiding somewhere waiting for it to come home and fill their starving bellies!
