Cat and Mouse

The cat sits on the desk much of the time, sitting looking out the window or sitting looking at the mouse. Sitting there staring at the mouse. Normal cat, I guess.

This has gone on for some time now: the cat sitting on the desk periodically looking over at the mouse, watching its every move with great intensity. It has been going on for some time, but the inevitable only happened today.

The cat was sitting there on the desk, looking at the mouse with great intensity and then began to paw at it (in the way that cats will paw at such things). This did not go on for long, however; for there is a clear line in this house when it comes to dogs and cats and computer hardware. So as the cat pawed at the mouse for a third or fourth time, ignoring all entreaties to cease and desist, the cat found herself airborne and subsequently landed (on all four feet) on the opposite side of the room.

Now, the cat has chosen the carpet in the corner, clearly convinced that the desk and perhaps even the mouse aren't quite as attractive as they once seemed to be.
