A Real Mouser

Ever since Sassy was invited to stay, I have questioned her usefulness as a barn cat. For nearly a year I saw no evidence of hunting. She bats rocks around, chases butterflies, is very intent on watching birds, and is always on the prowl for a head scratch. Don't get me wrong, she's really sweet, but we've got a large barn and there are mice, so we need a barn cat that will step up and take care of the little rodents.

So imagine the surprise last week when Sassy brought me a mouse while I was in the garden! She continued to carry it around the barn for the rest of the evening.

Who knows how many of the pesky vermin she's dispatched! And yes, I did apologize to her for doubting her mousing ability...

Sassy providing proof that she is indeed a mouser!
