Spring Time

In the spring a young man's fancy turns to love but a cat's fancy turns to MICE.  They are plentiful when the snow starts to melt and the house cat is so happy to be out chasing them.  Unfortunately he likes to brag, and to do that its best if we can see his successes.  good thing we're not squeamish.
