Woo hoo, the cats are doing there job!
Allow me to formally introduce the newest Big house residents, Mouser and Grasshopper. Lesley offered us these male kittens. We wanted to control the mice population here, so it was a perfect fit. It is also great for the kids, and most company seem to enjoy them as well. They are keeping us busy as they enter the clumsly adolescent stage. Ah well, it should get easier when the spring comes along, and they become outdoor cats.
Earlier this week, all was worth the effort, when Wayne seen Grasshopper (black and white) catch a vole, which he shared with his brother Mouser (grey and white). This was an exciting moment in the house because since we got them (two months ago) we had wondered whether these cats were going to keep rodents down or not. We had not seen them in action until now!
