Miss Mouse has been busy reading!
(And I--the crazy cat lady--have been at it again) ;o)
...
Mouse can often be found with her nose in a book:
One of Mouse's favourite authors is Haruki Murakami. Here she is
engrossed in his novel The Wind Up Bird Chronicle (for obvious reasons):
She will tell you that she is often enthralled and thrilled by
Murakami's mastery of magical realism:
Mouse gets rather grumpy if you interrupt her reading --
especially if you disrupt her enjoyment of the the last pages of a chapter
(or heaven forbid, you marr the end of the novel!):
She also detests it when you ask her stupid questions
about the narrative and will not hesitate to give you "the look":
Mouse has been known to read until she is
so very very sleepy that....

Sorry hit anonymous by mistake LOL
Great pic's though TFS!
Hi Melissa great shots of Mouse.lady
Oooh what a CLEVER kitty! Our kitty Beatrice is also very clever and is more computer literate than my hubby. She's always going on my laptop and has typed Word documents, surfed the Net and played CDs. I must do a blog post about her one day.
Do please post more about Mouse! She deserves as much Internet exposure as Nora the Piano Cat and Maru - 2 of my favourite online kitties.
hahahahahaha...toooo cute!
oxoxo
my cat purr-furrs the computer
That is TOOO funny!!

Such a riot! I love it when you animate Kitty. I always have to read it. The "look" is priceless!
Oh he look on her face :)
Me again - you inspired me, Mel, to do a blog post about Beatrice and her computer skills, which maybe Mouse would like to read about:

Thanks for the wonderful, continuing story of Miss Mouse! She is a beauty and has delightful personality quirks, just like every cat who has shared my life!!
ROFWL
OMG, this was too funny! Love the pics and the story with it. She is a special kitty! Thanks so much for sharing, great way to start the day :)
LOL, this is so cute! The first two pictures are fantastic. She looks so pretty & foucs on the book!
just adorable!!
Aw, what a cutie patootie!
So cute!!! best regards from Poland
LOL! Thanks for the morning giggle, Mel :)
Ah, Mel..I love it!! Keep them coming, Ruth x
Hi Mel, thanks for a gorgeous post - isn't Mouse just a stunner? My soft boy cat likes to watch the TV and often goes to look behind it for the birds and animals on the screen. Hugs, Jo x
This is a hoot! I love her "look" and your commentary on her reading is wonderful!
LOL! Miss Mouse is a ham!

As a cat lover/owner (Charlie & Cassie) this made me ROFL! Thank you for ending my evening on such a great note!
Love your studious Mouse. I have 3 cats and a greyhound. One of our cats loves paper. She prefers to eat it unlike your Mouse who apparently enjoys being educated. Daisy does not descriminate. She will eat any type of paper she can before I get to her. Give her some type of food she doesn't care for and she will walk away from her dish but a good Kleenex tissue, and she's happy - lol. I LOVE animals!!
so funny!! I am not a cat person but with this post, your kitty made me laugh!
Oh, thank you, Mel! I rally enjoy your blog, and no matter what you post it brings a smile. Love your literate Mouse :D
My goodness, that is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Thanks, for sharing it.
Mel, this is priceless. You did a super job of documenting a very intelligent cat, without any bias.. just simply narrating your observations of cat behavior Have you considered the field of animal behavior research? Yeah, ya gotta invest in the outfit.. but they do have some cool looking camo apparel.
maybe a long telephoto lens, but..you are a natural, I tell you.....
***not a job offer***any and all safari type activities are done at your own risk*****
Hillarious!! Your cat is beautiful!!! I posted your photos in my facebook page...sorry.
Love Murakami! And the kitty is pretty awesome too :) :) :)
Miss Mouse is the cutest! I love the last photo of her. Just like me, I can't keep my eyes open when trying to read! Hope all is well with you and that you are taking care of yourself and your hubby. Hugs!
Oh Mel
You do make me smile - especially as a cat owner and knowing exactly what they are like!!!
I hope she doesn't curl the page over when she puts the book down to come back to it, thats a really bad thing to do. Maybe you could make her a wonderfull bookmark!!!
Thanks for sharing - she's gorgeous!

How talented Miss Mouse is & she chooses such great books to read. She also doesn't look like she would enjoy using an ereader. Good old fashioned books are the best. I have followed your posts for several years & really enjoy your Mouse stories. Thanks so much.
Wonderful post! Being a cat person as well I can appreciate the finer points of the story, especially "the look" lol. Wonderful pictures as well - thanks so much for sharing.
Hugs,
Beth
I love very much cats, and I adore Miss Mouse!
Please continue this lovely story!!
Cute!, cute!!
Beautiful cat!
