Zzzz…..

The lethargic tune of gentle breathing filling the cosy burrow like a murmuring melody, as a curled-up doe blissfully slept. The resting rodent snuggly tucked under the sheets, lost in a deep sleep, with only the slow rhythm of her breathing to interrupt the halcyon silence. The nature of her tranquil dreams serene, as the mouse showed no signs of tossing and turning, even if the flittering nature of her vivid thoughts had gotten a little more naughty than balmy bed manner would suggest. The doe entrenched in slumber, oblivious to the world, as the slight flitter of her rapid eye movement blinding her to the looming danger skulking outside her mouse hole.

The rodent nuzzling into her feathery pillow, thinking of a lover as she basked in the relaxing safety the warm goose down provided. The initial skitter that should have sounded the alarm falling on deaf ears, as soon the delicate rummaging noise of an exploratory shuffle began to inch across the floorboards with an unnerving tapping noise. If the doe had been paying attention she might have noticed the huge hand skirting around her bedroom, as the intruder’s presence was drowned out by the lounging rodent’s own imagination. Saucy thoughts dulling her senses, as the slight knocks of bumped furniture failed to stir the doe from her dreamscape.

The cat probing into her drywall on the other hand was rather proactive, as shoulder deep in the skirting board, she blindly felt around, having a good idea of what had raided her pantry over the last few nights. The feline’s fingers brushing over something furry, as she investigated the hole in her wall, as with a smug smirk she found the repugnant rodent that had decided that her domicile would be the ideal place to make a nest. The next motion a shunting lunge, as sure of her target the feline pounced on her prey, before the cornered mouse had an opportunity to scurry away.

The feeling of claws scraping over her sheets enough to bolt the doe awake with a groggy “Huh?!”, as she jolted in fright and attempted to jerk away from the humungous hand poised to grab her. The mouse attempting to flee by rolling to the side, only to be met with the solid surface of a wall, blocking her attempt to escape, as the hand closed around her with a firm squeeze. The doe desperately snatching for a handhold to prevent the potential predator from pulling her out of her burrow, only to find that the calendar she had decided to clutch was not as firmly affixed to the wall as she might have hoped. The single tack holding it in place creaking slightly before with a tearing sound the paper shredded allowing the mouse to be extracted without incident.

“Well, well, well,” toyed the cat, as she dangled the disorientated rodent by her tail, causing the doe to swing like a pleading pendant. The blinding morning light causing the mouse to wince for a moment, as the jarring lighting just added another layer to her bewildered state. The meek mouse looking up in absolute terror, visibly trembling as the powerless prey sat petrified in the hands of a significantly more powerful predator. The doe’s first instinct to flinch in fear, as though she could shrink away into herself like some sort of traumatised hedgehog. This attempt to curl up into a wincing ball of quivering helplessness. The booming voice only rattling her already hammering heart, as the cat callously inspected what she had caught with a cold calmness.


“What do we have here?” asked the feline with the flash of a fangs, that morphed into a smug smile, as she brought the blabbering rodent up to her face for a better look. The sight of the massive mouth enough to make the doe finally drop the calendar that had been tightly trapped between in her white-knuckle grip, as though holding onto it would have somehow prevented her from being extracted from her hidey hole. The knowledge that cats liked to play with their food making everything worse for the whimpering rodent, as lost for words she could only imagine the horrific games the feline fiend had in mind for her. The thin glimmer of survival unlikely, as the cat weighed up her mouse morsel like a cruel connoisseur, as this mouthful of fleeting flesh was barely worth the energy to swallow.

That wouldn’t stop what was to come though, as not all small snacks needed to be for their nutritional value, and instead simply the pleasure of predation, especially if they had been softened up by the false promises of being let go if they played along. This sadistic sentiment running through all of the cat’s actions with these lesser things, as though their lot in life was to be food, it was up to her discretion how their existence would please her. The cat expecting at any second for the mouse to begin pathetically grovelling to be spared, the thought enough to make the feline’s mouth water, though this idea was temporarily brushed aside when she noticed something interesting on her treat’s discarded schedule….

A familiar feline finds a foolish mouse living in her walls. Unfortunately for the doe I am sure this cruel cat will make the mouse pay for raiding her pantry...
