New Years present from Jack....the cat.

From up on the roof top there arose such a clatter.  How about, from out on the front porch there arose such a clatter (a couple of days late and not as much fun as reindeer).  Here is what Jack thought of as the perfect new years gift...(the following shots are a little blurry because I was shamelessly hiding being the door and taking these through the window)

This is after he had a little game of chase with the mouse on the front porch

 Being a big CHICKEN and just sitting there next to it!

This would be Jack (in a change of position) just looking longingly at the stupid mouse and more than likely loving the fact that I am taking his picture.

If you look closely you can see the mouse blurred out in the white on the window sill in the center of the picture.

And this is the picture of the mouse...in mid air jumping at my chicken of a cat's face and then running off in the opposite direction. Way to go Jack.

If you look you can see the mouse in the air (top left of the pic) and then Jacks paw to the right of the mouse and a little bit of wisker in there too....so pathetic.  

Yes, the mouse got away.
