People who live with glass mouses…

That is one hard mouse.

Apparently it’s not just stones that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw…

Was the mouse at least wearing a helmet?

“Now to find a mouse for the next test!"

Our cats once left a dead rodent by their food dish. Except for the head, we never found that. Perhaps they catapulted it.

Wouldn’t that be a mousapult?

Too bad it wasn’t the other way around ala “Tom and Jerry.” Not a cat lover obviously.

That’s what happens when you set up the mousetrap backwards.

I thought you wanted mouse for lunch, not launch.

That’s what my cat would do, but without the equipment. I worked from home thirty years ago, would hear a squeaking and would look up to see a mouse flying through the air in an arc.

Actually built one. Years ago, the slum apartments across from the fire station was abandoned, sending all their mice into the world. We became infested. In the second floor kitchen, we built a mouse catapult that would fling them out the open window. Hard on the mouse if someone forgot and closed the window. “EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKkkkkkkkkkkkk”

You flung the mouse! Now how am I supposed to scroll through the comics?

Yeah, like cats need a new way to torture mice.

Perhaps they tested it out with a rock?

yikes

Looks like a rodent trebuchet to me. :)

“Quick, get that baseball from the closet and we can blame the window on the neighbor kid.”

In the comical mouse launching books, the options are Mickey, MInnie, Jerry, Dangermouse, the sewing mice imbeciles from ‘Cinderella’ and maybe Rodney the rat if Courageous Cat takes over for Sylvester who was a Tweety bird brain…

Any other comical mice ? Oh sure, lets launch ‘Fivel’ too!!!!

Rare bird alert: lets hope that rodent is getting launched back to Arsenio Hall and Eddie Murphy so smart felines can resist bad Paramount plagues.

I now have another reason to label Samuel Jackson Jr. and James Earl Jones ( how dare he wear a Lions’ cape!!!!) as enemies or righteousness.

I also suppose 4033 isn’t a lucky Queens subway car number.

( Movie trivia is part of an annual UW-Stevens Point trivia contest which I prepare for every year with partial recall of information exchanges. )

Love it!! Although I will now have to keep an eye on my kitties.

They must be using frozen mice!

New technology always has a bug or two.

Amazing that they could do this without opposable thumbs.

Kittens these days are addicted to their devices. When I was young, we had no catapults, and we spent many an afternoon batting mice around with our paws — got some good exercise.

It’s a cat a pult!

Proof of concept.

The early bird may catch the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

That was a big pane, for the mouse.
