14: hunter/hunted

We laugh about Tom and Jerry.
We all like cats and most of us think that mice are sweet
(at least the cartoon versions and of course not in our flats).
But what when we see what they normally are... hunter and hunted.

My neighbours prefered to ignore their pet when acting like this in their garden.

Agree with Christine, it's life, but this is very clear image.

My cats are indoor cats and I'm not amused by cats killing wildlife! I like cats and I like mice, and I rescue the mice that my cats do manage to find in the house and release them!

my cats are indoor cats but they love to hunt the red laser light.. they weren't amused at the new dishwasher that has a red led light that shines on the floor to show it's working. :)

Good capture!?! It reminds me of the time that one of our cats presented her "trophy" to me...I was in bed (it was 2 a.m.) and the trophy was still alive! From my heavy, sleep-laden eyelids, I saw the tail of the mouse hanging out of the cat's mouth and screamed, waking up my husband. The cat dropped the mouse and I thought it must've fallen into the bedding. After unmaking and remaking the bed a number of times, we finally went back to sleep but I had dreams of the mouse running up my leg while I was in bed. At 5 a.m., my husband heard the cat hunting and discovered the mouse underneath my nightstand. It ran when he lifted the nightstand and 2 days later he discovered it in the basement...dead. I slept peacefully that night.
