Since the Mowsie Era dawned in our home this winter, each mowsie had vanished within 24 hours of release. We couldn't find hide nor hair nor tail or ear of any mousies. I was about to post and ask whether cats actually EAT these (rock hard, unappetizing-looking) mousies?

Today I pulled out the oven drawer, and LO! Five furry mowsies had established a den under the oven. They were all recaptured right away and two were sent to play with Twinkle-Afar and Polaris, who took them for a good exercise run down the hall and up the stairs.

We're very happy to have found the mousie's secret Den. It will save us a lot of money in replacement mowsies.

PS: So far no mowsies have gone swimming in water dish or toilet. Thank goodness. But one did go for laps in the dry bathtub today.
