My Mouse-O-Matic, Miss Marple

~~~"It is better to feed one cat than many mice." Norwegian Proverb~Yes, the rainy season is upon us and Miss Marple is showing her extreme intelligence by touchingly placing her gift of a freshly killed mouse between the boots I will need to wear to do the daily chores. I do prefer this presentation rather than the time I found her gift IN my boot after I put it on and stepped off the porch...~~~~~~Miss Marple has been naughty. I sold most of my little sheep at the Harvest Fest and the remaining few were carefully wrapped and placed in a box to be carted off to the next bazaar. Today I discovered one of my little black sheep had been removed from the box, unwrapped , dragged and batted around the house and destroyed. I guess Miss Marple showed him..she killed him and left him on a rug for me to discover.She's probably pretty proud of herself, the little vixen. "Anything not nailed down is a cat toy."

~~~Here is Miss Marple interrupting Candy Cat's nap to attack her tail.~~~

~~~"The world is a cat toy." Miss Marple holds this to be a truth. She holds no special regard for others of her species, after all, she IS entitled, and any old cat tail will serve her purposes. Poor Candy Cat had to find another nap spot to be left alone. I suspect this was Miss Marple's devious plan all along.

~~~"To a cat, "No means "Not while I am looking."~~~

~~~Really, Miss Marple is a wonderful cat. She has more than proven herself in rodent control, and she is a bold cat who is very social. She follows us around like a puppy, oversees all household comings and goings. When life is a little chaotic or stressful she seems to appear out of nowhere to sit in my lap or nap with me, all the while purring. The loud and contented purring seems to lower my heartbeat and calm me. She will stay with me until I decide I don't need the comfort any more....most un- catlike of her. One would almost think she cares about me, and I think she does. I love Miss Marple. ~~~"Of all the toys available, none is better designed than the owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, it's parts can be made to move in almost any direction-it comes completely assembled and it makes a sound when you jump on it." Stephen Baker
