i'm a bit perplexed because our cats will kill rats & mice (as they should) the fruit tree next door attracts them, however there is a hopping mouse (i presume it is because it hops around) & i've noticed on the first day the cats got up looked & sniffed at it then walked away & when this hopping mouse is wandering/hopping around the backyard they don't even move to look anymore
so my question is are hopping mice not really mice & therfore not on the cats adgenda to attack, toy with & then kill ?

You sure it's not a pygmy wallaby or something ?

Wow, that's amazing Bayman.
I would have thought that cats would still be attracted to a hopping mouse

Now you know this means that your mission is to take a photo don't you?

I think I see the script of some cartoon developing here somehow.
