cat mouse cat

one of the cats (Loki <- lives up to his name) decided to bring in with him an interactive toy (a mouse) so hes playing with the mouse by the front door. Joy sees a dust bunny with a tail. Loki grabs the mouse and runs downstairs to hide the mouse. Joy does the whole capture and live release keeping all the cats in. Apparently the mouse didn't get to far since another of the cats started stalking it. Anyways, the mouse lives and the cat didn't get his interactive toy.

The next day, Loki is farting around with Joy's purse....we are thinking the cats logic goes along these lines
*mommy likes mice,
maybe if i get mommy her own mouse, she'll let me have my own
maybe if i put it in her purse she love me more cause i gave her a present *


Yes we think that the cat is that smart and come up with that type of logical argument *if cats could talk*

So now we have a paranoid Joy worried that she'll see a mouse in her purse, draws, closet at some point, and we have a cat, that has this look of plotting.
