A Mouse Free Zone?

With four cats does any mouse stand a chance?

Down the road or rather up in the vineyards, our friends house is blessed with an abundance of cats. Look the houses are one on top of the other, so it is hard to tell which one the cats call their home.

They are just short of being fully grown and I have seen them from kitten stage. The four cat-a-teers were fun to see hopping and hiding about. There is a sneaking suspicion in me that one of the neighbours did put out food for them. But don't forget they are country cats and have a duty to perform.

Apart from entertaining us with their antics they need to keep the mice population in check!
They have grown rather porky and that lets me hope that they have been taught the art of mouse-hunting by their mother.

When I do get to see them ( they have a habit of playing a rather successful game of hide & seek ) they are full of the joys of life...Jumping excitedly over and about a blade of grass, climbing a tree to get away from a sibling, warming a neighbouring bench and just making a day seem fun.

Watching these cute cats seize the day, makes me ponder why we tend to make everything more complex than it actually is!... Life needs to simply be lived, don't you think?
