Mouse - 3 Points of View - Guest Entry
Lauren:
I went to bed almost on time. I am getting over a cold, and really need my sleep. I fell asleep right away, and then Teeny, my black cat, jumped onto the bed. He was playing with something. He does that sometimes, brings one of his toys into bed. This night it got annoying because he was jumping up and down and not settling down.
I was asleep, but Teeny kept waking me up, and this went on for hours. Then I started to hear squeaking. Teeny has squeaky mice toys that he loves, and I really, really hoped he was playing with one of them.
I finally turned on the light, and right next to me in bed - a mouse - lying there maybe 5 inches from me. A mouse!
I went into some kind of shock.
I didn’t want to go anywhere near the mouse, although we had already spent many hours close to each other, but the alternative was having a mouse in my bed, so I grabbed a towel, picked the mouse up with the towel, and dropped him and the towel out the back door.
I need therapy now.
Teeny:
I found a really cool interactive toy, and of course brought it into bed with mom so I could play with it in comfort. It was fun - I like toys that move and squeak - kept me amused for hours, until mom woke up and turned on the light and screamed and took my fun toy away.
Mousie:
I was minding my own business, just hanging out, and then a large black furry thing grabbed me and took me onto a huge square object that had some kind of really large pink furless animal sleeping on it.
The black animal seemed to think it was fun to play with me. I hope something plays with him - he’ll see how it feels.
Finally the pink, furless animal woke up, made funny noises, picked me up with a towel and threw me and the towel outside.
I did not have a good night.
