Ziggy and I love to hunt. It\u2019s what kitties do. But being indoor kitties, we don\u2019t get to do it very often.

It slides across the floor really nice, so it\u2019s a lot of fun. But it doesn\u2019t move unless we slap at it, so it\u2019s not nearly as much fun as the ones we see outside.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes we have some excitement, though, when we\u2019re in North Carolina. Every so often, a little field mouse will get into the house. When that happens, Ziggy and I go nuts! Although we\u2019re pretty fast, the mice are usually faster, and they can get into little tiny spaces that we can\u2019t. Once in a while, though, we\u2019ll catch one. A lot of cats kill mice and eat them, but Ziggy and I aren\u2019t interested in that. Mommy feeds us too good. But mice make really great toys, because they move on their own! The only way they would be better is if someone rolled them in catnip. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1438\" src=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/field-mouse-1526371-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/field-mouse-1526371-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/field-mouse-1526371-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/field-mouse-1526371-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/field-mouse-1526371.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1439 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Snake-cropped-296x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Snake-cropped-296x300.jpg 296w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Snake-cropped.jpg 490w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/>One time a snake got in. I was the one who found it. He was a pretty good opponent. He kept striking at me, but I didn\u2019t let him get away. I had him trapped in the corner. When Mommy checked to see what I was doing, she got all freaked out. She was afraid the snake bit me. But I\u2019m too fast for that.<\/p>\n<p>Mommy grabbed me and locked me in another room until she and Aunt Kim caught the snake. Aunt Kim got out her snake book and found that it was an Eastern rat snake, which isn\u2019t poisonous, so they took it outside and let it go in the woods.<\/p>\n<p>When Mommy came in, she scolded me and said I should never play with snakes. I always try hard to obey, but I can\u2019t make any promises if one gets inside again. If it moves, it\u2019s way too tempting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1347 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/feet-1459485_1920-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/feet-1459485_1920-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/feet-1459485_1920-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/feet-1459485_1920-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/feet-1459485_1920-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/feet-1459485_1920-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/feet-1459485_1920.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Zaturday, the day we (Ziggy and Zorro) take over Mommy\u2019s blog.
