A baby mouse, a happy cat and Gerry Garcia
Feb 23, 2020
What do a mouse, a cat and Gerry Garcia have in common? Nothing really, except…I was listening to Garcia while I was uploading new videos to youtube. Did you know that Garcia started out in bluegrass? If not, you can listen here. (Stoney Creek) Also, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, if you feel like listening to a little bluegrass… a lot more people started out in bluegrass, or have dipped their fingers into it, than you might think…
and then there’s a cute little mouse, below…
These pics were taken all the way back in 2018. Isn’t he – or she – cute? Yeah..it’s a mouse and there’s a pretty good chance it got eaten, either by my cat, the barn cats next door, or a hawk or something! We have plenty of critters around that will eat mice, including snakes.
I have no idea what was wrong with this mouse…it kept trying to climb up an electrical chord on the deck, fall down, then try again. If I remember correctly, we finally got a broom and swept it off the porch. I’m not sure if these pics were taken before or after. I think before…but I can’t be certain.
I’ve told you my cats a good mouser! Here he is playing with a mouse, and very content (below) after eating it. Ugg…most of the time I can’t get the mouse away from him before he eats it. Nothing like fresh meat?
I was going to upload a video of him playing with a dead mouse and then eating it to youtube, but I decided not to. Little kids and all…
I have to warn you…don’t look at the next picture if you are easily grossed out or offended. It’s just a cat with a mouse in its mouth, but I thought I’d warn you. Nothing truly disgusting! π

*couldn’t help myself, saw Tom & Jerry and had to include it!! π
We haven’t had any mice in the house for a couple of years now. At least since 2018! And we haven’t seen any signs of ’em, so I’m guessing we have enough critters around to keep the mouse population down.
Tomorrow is…

Again the detail is incredible, so much going on, you almost forget the mouse is there. As the owner of two cats, who doesn’t love a cat picture!
And the stories to tell
π
I was just looking at the B and W images, they are stunning, I really love B and W images, some of the detail in yours are amazing, you have a real eye and talent!
thank you! I would prefer to work only in black and white…maybe one day I’ll get an enlarger, as it’s the only thing I really need (I have all other equipment).
Thanks again!
Are you on twitter? I will always retweet your images if you are?
no, I’ve been thinking about it, just haven’t gotten there yet
it will certainly help to promote your images and blog site
I just checked and I think, as soon as I can, I will start a twitter page and get it linked…as well as the other links
thanks for the suggestion
No problem, happy to help
