the strangest thing...

I was on my way back from dropping a friend off at the airport (6 in the am...it was earl-eye) when I saw the funniest thing.  There was a cat wandering around in the street, but obviously chasing something.  I thought it was a pinecone.  When I got closer, I saw the silliest, most animated-looking mouse.  No joke.  It looked like a teardrop turned on its side!  And it was moving on what looked like its tiptoes!  The mouse would move, then the cat would move, then the mouse would move again...I don't know what kept that cat from just pouncing!  There are pictures:



Here's the pair of them.


And the cat...


...and creepy mouse.
