Alice is so brave to come looking, and to come back! For all she knows, something caught inquisitive wild mice and stuck them in cages, something she surely doesn’t want for herself, and yet she’s coming back anyway. That’s courage.
Yesterday, Jora woke up to the sound of a kitten crying on the back porch. Said kitten was loud enough for her to hear the crying all the way to the front of the house. A bit of exploration turned up a black and gray tabby around a month old. She waited to see if mom cat would show up, but all day all the kitten did was cry and sleep. This evening we decided to bring it in and give it some milk. It didn’t seem to get the idea of lapping milk or water so off to the all night Walgreen’s for a medical syringe. She’s had about 2 teaspoons of milk so far. We’ll get her some kitten milk tomorrow.
She’s a very friendly little thing, very clean and seems healthy. We set up the cat house and a kitten litter box in my bathroom to keep her separated from Database and Reboot until she gets a clean bill of health. And whew, is she a cuddle baby. we’ll keep an eye out for mama, but I suspect that Update has found a home, pending health and if the others accept her.
I got a story on my phone yesterday, it’s a video of 4 cats singing their version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, called Bohemian Catsody. PLEASE check it out if you want to belly laugh for 10 minutes!
What ARE those rectangles? Food pellets? They look pretty darn hefty … I wonder if Violet/Natasha used them as slingshot ammo, would there be enough force/mass to ping that Red Button and open the cages?
I was wondering how Natasha would do in a corn maze (a maize maze?), then realized it’s all a matter of scale – she could go right between the maize stalks in the maze!
I’m loving the fact Georgia let’s us enjoy this. I know as it started, several expressed dismay at the idea of a lab. What Georgia has done is show the mice well cared for with their only problem being absolute boredom.

I always thought all four robber mice were related. I guess they joined forces with Alice and Agnes later. ⭐

Paul McCartney and Wings: Band on the Run
Stuck inside these cages,
Running maze forever,
Never seeing no one
Nice to get out of here,
Escape would be nice, true. So nice, true.
…….
If I ever get out of here,
Gonna plan how to get away
Live by taking what I want
Find a wheel of cheese every day
If I ever get outta here
If we ever get outta of here
…….
Well, the pill exploded as it hit its mark
As the window opened to the sun,
And I said to Violet as we both ran out
I hope you’re having fun.
…….
Mice on the run, mice on the run.
And the wild mouse
In the black striped blouse
Encouraged us to run
Yes, the mice on the run,
Mice on the run
Mice on the run,
Mice on the run.
…….
Well, we joined forces with the wild mouse
We learned Alice was her name,
She and Agnes were descended from
The Golden Mouse of such great fame!
Mice on the run
Mice on the run,
And we Robber Mice did not think twice!
We’ll steal forevermore!
For the Mice on the Run!
Mice On the Run!
Mice on the Run!
Mice on the Run!

We see the mouse a-wavin’
She’s at the sill again
And we ain’t seen the sunshine since we don’t know when
We’re stuck in Grim Tech prison and time keeps draggin’ on
But there’s just one maze left to crack
Then baby, we’re long gone
Well, when we escape this prison
That freedom will be sublime
I bet we’ll turn on over to a fulfilling life of crime
Far from Grim Tech prison
That’s where we want to play
While we let a robber’s saxophone
Blow all the blues away

Well I don’t know which maze I’m running tonight.
I’ve got the feeling I ran it last night.
I’m so bored in case I run it all wek,
And I’m wondering how I’ll get of this lab.
Pills to the left of me!
Rubberbands to the right!
Here I am stuck in this cage with you.
Yes I’m stuck in this cage with you,
And Natasha’s wondering when we’ll do the final maze.
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face.
Gaining freedom and running all over the place.
Pills to the left of me!
Rubberbands to the right!
Here I am stuck in this cage with you.
When we started off with nothing
And we’re proud of our self-made sling.
Ooooo-ooo-oooh
And Natasha comes crawling,
Slap me on the back and say
Shoot . . .
Shoot . . .
Trying to make some sense of that wild mouse
I can see it’s wear a little mask.
Is it gonna run the next maze?
I don’t think we can run anymore.
Pills to the left of me!
