It was Maggie's birthday so her husband decided to do something special. He told her they were going away for a few days and emailed to ask if they could come visit. A secret. She wasn't to know. But we knew that she was coming so when she arrived here Maurice caught her a perfect fresh mouse, long whiskered and beautiful, for her birthday. She stepped out of the car and into the world of ginger.
Everyone came out to say hello, first Elmo, then Kiffer, still guarding the nest in the mop bucket. Pixie perched on the sofa and then we took Maggie for a walk, to see the top of the hill and the foxgloves. We were all most impressed as Maggie's cat is the genius who pooed in the tumble drier, which sounds like some kind of alchemy, for we do not know what a tumble drier is.
Pixie had a cuddle and later I came to say hello and sit and purr, and even Max came along in his stripped tabby grandeur to wave a tail and twitch a whisker.
So, happy birthday Maggie, with love from all of us.
I still think he should have wrapped the mouse.

Hello dear Gingers, I'm sending you greetings and hugs from Southern California! My, how you glow so goldenly in these photos. You make Maggie's red hair look not so red...her hair is the same color as my person's hair. But who care about that!
What a tasty looking mouse! You were very good hosts to catch that for her arrival, even if it was not wrapped.
Enjoy your weekend there in the fields and hills.
Love from Miss Kitty

Happy Birthday,
What a fine juicy mouse you got as a present. That's the best present ever.
I hope you enjoyed it a lot.
Wow, a fresh mousie, even tough it was unwrapped!
Nice to meet you, we found you through Daisy and a reference to Mongolian-made felt-mousies! The real one is even better!
What a nice birthday it must have been, especially with that wonderful looking mouse. Did Maggie eat it or just toss it around?
I've just seen this blog.
Alert RSPCA poor live mouse
