Determined Kitty

During this past summer, a mamma cat (which we didn’t know was a mamma cat at the time) just showed up at our home.  She was so wild that every time we opened the door, she would take off on a dead run.  Well, eventually, four little kittens showed up around the place and they were just as wild as the mamma.  I eventually tamed the mamma cat but the babies are playing hard-core and I’ve yet to pet one of the four kittens, but they are coming a lot closer when it’s feeding time.
Earlier this week as I was looking out our dining room window, I noticed one of the kittens crouched low with a very determined look on it’s face.

It is with that determined face that I watched this young kitten, very slowly, yet steadily, sneaking up on what I presumed to be a mouse. After snapping the above photo, I then switched my camera to video mode so I could catch the action………

 

And yes.......this is where, I ran out of disk space.  I ran to the other room to grab another disk, jammed it in my camera and headed back to the window.....just in time to see kitty running across the yard with a mouse.  I may have missed the action but I was so proud of the young kitten because that's one less mouse running around my yard.
