In which Boots gets a new toy

It is small and grey and furry and has a long tail, and at some point it used to be alive. Boots is having tremendous fun batting it around the kitchen and growls if she thinks I'm going to take it off her. If she doesn't eat it before bedtime I'll confiscate it anyway, lest she bring it into some carpeted area of the house.

ETA: Oddly, mice sound juicier being eaten than kibble does. Nomnom.
