Rat scream

This is the wake of a mouse running for its life from a cat sometime between Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning (yes, the very cat who then settled on a pillow next to my head and purred me awake). Not only is this the actual ironic scene, but in a bonus stroke of pinache, at the end, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. At least they left him where he fell, not on my pillow.
