Latter Day Sinner

I have heard and even used the phrase “A Game of Cat and Mouse” most of my life. I had a vague idea of what it meant most of that time. But part of my impression came from the Cartoons of Tom and Jerry. Jerry Mouse always won. He usually didn’t end up dead at the end of the cartoon. I watched our cat Magic with a live mouse last night. It was fascinating. Magic would chase the little critter and sometimes catch it. She would carry it around in her mouth but instead of just killing it she would let it go so she could chase it more. I eventually turned off all the lights and went to bed to let her play. We were not presented with a dead mouse today so I think she ate it which is a merciful end to a tremendous game.
