I like my cats, I really do, but if they wake me up once more I think I may have to keep them in a kennel over night or lock them in a specific part of the house.  It's warming up during the day and cooling off drastically at night which means that rodents are seeking refuge indoors.  Thursday night I was just settling down to bed and had on some Dr. Who when all of a sudden Kiki comes bounding into the living room.  She had something in her mouth.  I turn on my lantern and she has a mouse in her mouth.  I try to reach for her but she runs away.  I grab an old cup and head to where Kiki went and then she runs to the other side of the house.  I go there and she runs back.  Finally I cornered her and she dropped the mouse and it went under a rug.  I scooped it up and took it and threw it in my driveway.  It flew past my motion detector and I heard it thud on the driveway and I saw that it was belly up with legs in the air so I figured between my toss and Kiki's teeth it was done for.  Well I finished the Dr. Who and started sleeping.  About 4 hours later I hear this strange noise.  I think one of my cats is next to me and is coughing or choking.  I turn on my lantern and look over.  There is Kiki and Lua batting around a mouse.  The mouse is making this loud huffing noise.  I can't find the cup I used and Kiki picks up the mouse and runs off to another part of the house.  I cornered her in my kitchen and she dropped the thing.  It was cowering in a corner so I scooped it up and threw it outside.  It landed with a thud and set the motion detector off.  Well the first mouse was gone so I figured it ran away or became a meal.  The cats remained on edge for the rest of the night.  Friday night I went to bed right after I finished my round up.  I got about an hour of sleep when I heard my cats digging and crying.  I figured they were stuck in my couch again but they weren't.  They were digging at a spot where I keep my shoes.  Well just Lua was, Kiki was pacing back and forth.  I moved some of the shoes and Lua scooped up a mouse and went running with it.  She dropped it right on my pillow.  I scooped it up in the cup and threw it outside.  I praised her because she doesn't really have a hunting instinct.  I laid back down and just as I shut my light off Kiki comes bounding into the room.  I turn my lantern back on and see she has a mouse in her mouth.  She ran away from me but then came back and dropped it on my pillow.  I scooped it up and threw it outside.  None of the mice were there this afternoon.  I figure the one Lua caught was caught in the kitchen and they had been playing with it and lost it for a while until I moved my shoes.  I also figured they are coming in somewhere in my kitchen, more than likely my dryer vent so I was out in the pouring rain this afternoon patching that up.  They are both currently keeping guard in my kitchen.  One is on one end of the room staring at the dryer and the other is at the other end of the room staring at the dryer.  Nothing will get past them.  Ahhhh... #caturday

I took out the message.  I think a few people got it.
