He's such a panther!
 
My three cats are all indoor kitties. One of their favorite boredom busters is when I put a large marble in the empty bathtub ... and they go to town with it. It's great fun ... unless I forget to take it out and they start after it in the middle of the night!. Well, a couple of nights ago, my largest kitty decided to up jis game. I watched him turning crazy circles in the tub - having a wonderful time - before I realized that his "marble" had a tail. He'd caught himself a mouse in the basement and brought it upstairs to play!
Unlike most captives, this one was hale and healthy, not injured at all. His captor quickly tired of the game and hopped out. The other two traded places with him and studied the new game piece from opposite ends of the tub ... then completely ignored it to groom themselves.
At that point, I couldn't kill it, so DS captured it in a cup. Its' death sentence was commuted to banishment to the woods out back.
So much for my great mousers!

You reminded me of an event in the mid 1990s. We had two Siamese house cats, and a young yellow tabby we'd adopted from outside. We also had a Boston terrier mix dog. One day I walked into the kitchen and saw the Siamese sitting on top of the clothes dryer. They were staring at a mouse on the floor. The two cats sat and watched, heads moving back and forth, like spectators at a tennis match. The yellow tabby started following the mouse, back and forth across the floor, her nose at the mouse's tail. She obviously wasn't sure how to proceed.

The dog came into the room, and the mouse ran behind the stove. Ginger the tabby followed it, and the mouse ran back out on the floor. The terrier did what terriers do.

The cats were worthless.

LOVE it! I found another surprise in the tub, today. It wasn't until I went to turn it off that I discovered another "pet" floating in it. Looks like the days of blindly filling the tub are officially over! :rolleyes:
