This mouse has the right idea

This mouse is ALL ABOUT finding The Axis of Snorgling, or the crook of the neck where maximum warm furrage can be snorfed. Look at his liitle mouse schnozzle, all burrowing up in thar.

Is this one of these new, genetically altered mice who are unafraid of cats?

"The Axis of Snorgling, or the crook of the neck where maximum warm furrage can be snorfed"

Is this the official definition of the term? It should be. Besides, "snorfed" is fun to say. Snorfed.

I look at the picture and say "Mouse? What mouse? I see no mouse."

Then I found the mouse. And it was adorable.

Does this baby mouse think the cat is his/her mom? :0 Well, who knows, maybe the cat thinks so, too.

Why isn't this mouse dead? Isn't mouse-killing instinctive in cats?

Pheas, mousie's tush is saying "Ehn" 'cuz it's having trouble following the front half up the mountain.

Shouldn't the hover text over the first picture say "Dónde está Axe-ees?"

Just wondering. 5 semesters of high school Spanish should have taught me something.

A Viewer, we used to have cats and hammies. Hammies escaped one day and were wibbling their way around the room. I spotted one investigating tabby cat's ginormous teeth. Tabby looked at me pleadingly as I raced across the room, as if to say "Please move it. I am a cat you know, I don't have infinite patience". We never got as far as the hams climbing the cats, though. But domesticated predators do sometimes seem to understand that there are limits up to a point. We also had a dog and cats who went walkies together down the road.

Looks like the mouse is searching for a teat on what it thinks is it's mother. What a patient kitty!

It's like those little cleaner wrasses that take the parasites off big fish. So tiny, they can squeeze in anywhere.

This is how one of my kitties likes to wake me in the morning. He finds MY Axis of Snorgling and snorgles until I get up and feed him.

Enuff with the mice, already. Too many rodents!

A Viewer, kittehs actually have to be taught by their mom to hunt/kill. I saw this in action with 3 kittehs/one (wild)mouse. Two kittehs (raised by me from babyhood) were more scared of the mouse than vice-versa. Other cat.. once on the street.. babyhood unknown.. was the only one chasing/catching the mouse. She grabbed it and scooted out the cat door with it. (You'll all be glad to know that when I looked out a minute later to see what happened, well-fed kitteh had put the mouse down and was apparently distracted by an interesting cloud, as she was gazing up into the sky. Mouse came to, realized it was (a) still alive and (b) back outside, and ran for the azaleas. Happy ending for all.)

I, too, thought the mouseh was a little arm growing out of the kitteh. I guess it just looked like it belonged! Cute!

Cat: What have you brought me?
Mouse: Mastah, (ehn) I have failed to bring you teh cheese as you wished.
Cat: Did you seek the portal?
Mouse: Yes Mastah.
Cat: Did you use your mad scurrying skills?
Mouse: Yes Mastah.
Cat: Then how could you fail?
Mouse: "burp"
Cat: What?
Mouse: Nothing!

So funny, when I first looked I thought the mouse was instead the cat's deformed arm, and I was wondering if it was posted for the cute or sad category L-P

Barbara

Is that a mouse or a baby rat?

Not all cats have to be taught by their mothers. My cat Malachi, dead for about 15 years now, chased and caught a few mice in an apartment I had once that was over a basement that was infested by mice, (I never had mouse visitors again in that place). I got him when he was 4 weeks old and he was born in a house and had never been outside and was too young to have been taught by mom.

It's obvious, people. Some cats just don't care. We've all had or known someone who had a cat that would "fetch" or one that would "jump up on the bed" on command and one that would "decapitate small animals in the yard and bring you entrails as a present" and one that "thought it was a dog" and one that "hated every other living creature except humans" and one that "stole grandma's dentures" and one that "let the mice crawl all over it."

Cats are just weird, weird, weird. They are 93% predictable and cat-like, but that last 7% of crazy difference is totally different with every cat.

And that's why cats are the most specialist animals of all.

Well, it looks so real is it?
Well of course it is or it would not be Axis McSnorgle!!!

Great pic, but an inaccuracy: it should be "Donde esta axis?" (accents on the "O" and the "A" there) when I put my mouse over the pic, not "Donde es...".

Don't let me nitpicking kill a great pic, but even meesers should user proper Spanish grammar!
