farm cats and mice
In reply to OntarioJohn, 3 months ago

John,

One of the most impressive things I have ever seen was a cat catching a mouse in a barn. This was eons ago. One of my sisters kept a horse in a stables way north of Dallas. I went out with her one evening to keep her company while she fed the horse. It was well after dark. As we approached the barn door, which was closed, a cat came running across the open yard. My sister said, "Watch this." Then she opened the door and quickly turned on the lights.

I just had time to nice half a dozen or more mice scurrying for cover. The cat seems to have had a laser guided targeting system, because it locked its sights on one of the mice, shot like a rocket into the barn, jumped over some equipment, up and over a couple bales of hay, and across a beam—and caught the hapless mouse.
