Talk to the paws, the face ain't listening!

May I present: the best toy ever

Who would've guessed that this little IKEA mouse ( and this is a children's toy ) would be so much fun?


Maus can spend hours and hours chasing around this little fella...


...and he never gets tired of it.


Sometimes it'll end up under the sofa ( and I really think this is done intentionally, it's a part of "the game" ) and then he'll need some human help. It's funny to think that when Maus was small he could actually crawl under that sofa - but not anymore ;)

Not again!

One day this week I came home from work and there was a familiar sight waiting for me...


I'm sure the little toy-mouse did it this time ;) It was caught red-handed at the crime scene.


Or was it Maus making scientific experiments like: How much paper there is in one roll? Can it cover the whole floor if spread evenly? Does it fit into a one small plastic bag or do you need two?


...well, it did fit in one ;)


Maus is just trainging me, some day I'll learn not to leave paper in sight... obviously that day hasn't come yet.

Mathematics: A cup of coffee + cat = shower

Today I was getting ready to go to work, doing my make-up in the bathroom. I had a cup of coffee and a glass of juice on top of the washing machine. Maus was looking for some action and decided to jump on top of the washing machine to see better what I was doing. Since he jumped from the floor he couldn't see those glasses before it was too late...

I saw all this in slow motion, it happened so fast that I couldn't really react, but still it felt like Maus was flying slooooooowly towars a disaster. Surprisigly he had better reflexes than I did, and he managed to land in between my coffee and my juice. I sighed from a relief - a minute too early. Just when he had firmly planted his feet down he started walking, and stepped straight into my coffee cup!


Poor little Maus, I had to give him a shower - he's hyperactive enough without licking some coffee from his paws ;) Luckily I don't like my coffee hot, so he didn't get burnt. This just proves again that with Oriental cats you really need to have eyes in your back too... and still it's not possible to predict in what kind of trouble they'll end up next.

This is what Maus thought about his morning shower:

Slip of the tongue


Licking is a common way for animals to clean themselves. In mammals, licking helps keep the fur clean and untangled. The tongues of many mammals have a rough upper surface that acts like a brush when the animal licks its fur. Cats use licking both to clean, and to show affection among themselves or to humans typically licking their faces.
