Here are a couple of photos taken in December 2010 when we were snowbound. I came into the kitchen early one morning and there on the decking outside was this little mouse, eating the bread we had put out for the birds:
There were actually three mice climbing all over and round the back of the loaf nibbling it. I wasn’t the only one interested. Lucy came to the patio door and wanted to go out for a closer look.
See more Saturday Snapshots on Alyce’s blog, At Home With Books.

Yep, Lucy is very, very interested in what’s happening outside of her door.
You can see the concentration in Lucy’s posture- even from the back!
OK, cute little mouse – outside that is. Lucy looks very intent and I bet she was following the drama outside very, very closely. LOL
I’m sure Lucy’s belling was rumbling!! Ha! Little did that mouse know how close to the end he was!! LOL!
Mice outside is so much better than inside!
Margaret – What great ‘photos! And it looks as though Lucy is at least as interested in that mouse as the mouse is in the bread.
How great feeding the critters and entertaining the cat at the same time. Great shots.
Hungry little fellers. (And Lucy too!)
Oh, I wonder what Lucy is thinking about? Dinner?
Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Outside is even a concern for me, that might mean they are cold and need to come in. Great photo.
Aww that’s so cute! I bet the mice were glad to have that glass door between them and Lucy
Nice shot. Poor Lucy, stopped by the invisible barrier!
Lucy sure is concentrating on that little mouse! The mouse doesn’t even know how lucky it is to have that glass door to protect it.
Here’s Mine
That would have driven my cat absolutely crazy! I agree with the others – very cute as long as it’s outside.
aww, the mouse is so cute, and I hope the cat didn’t get to it! My cat would have been all over that poor mouse… Book Savvy Babe
That mouse thought he hit the jackpot! What a great picture!
Aw…. cute!! I’m glad they were visiting your house, though!! Hilarious with the cat watching!!!!!
You can just guess why the cat wants out. Good shot!
I can see that Lucy would be interested, so would I have been if I was a cat
I imagine Lucy wanted more than a closer look
Wonderful photo!
Loved the pics! Like how Lucy is looking!
Here is my Saturday
Snapshot post!
Very cute! It certainly looks like they got Lucy’s attention.
What great pictures! Love the little mousy and your pretty cat too!
Oh, lovely little mouse!
Unfortunately we have had several nasty mice in our cottage lately. Huge ones (field voles) who are so close to rat size they are not the least charming. I think they might even scare your cat.
