Appearently the rat (we have confirmed that it is indeed a rat) had moved out of it's corner and was holding on above the door. So one my mother saw it wasn't in the corner she assumed it had left. Well.... she was wrong. It hadn't left. As she discovered when the cat got back out and she made a grab for her. The rat took up bugee juming... with out the bungee cord. It landed on her. I don't think I've ever heard someone scream that loud before. She even scared the cat so it ran back in. My reply when she told me this was "so did you manage to get the mail?" And yes, she did in fact manage to get it... and throw it several feet into the house.
I guess the cats have figured that leaving alive rodents on are doorstep is better then leaving dead ones... great way to start a morning, wouldn't you agree?
The mood thingy for the journals is stuck.
Mood- mildly amused
