My Frienemy

Friend or Enemy.....I still haven't decided....?

90% of the time when I open the door this is what I see:


For starters...I'm not exactly what you'd call an animal person!  And...you see...when we moved to the country our landlords brought down a couple of young cats for us to keep in the yard to take care of the mice.  Previous tenants had had issues with mice, and I am POSITIVE that mice are my ENEMY!  Therefore, cat = friend....right?  Because we have never seen any traces of mice, sometimes I think so, and that's why we keep them around and feed them.

However....cats trying to get into the house EVERY time I open the door, tripping over a cat ANY time I am walking in the yard, cats jumping into the car while I'm trying to get Briggs strapped into his carseat, and having to shop in the catfood aisle at the grocery store are all pretty good reasons I usually think cat = enemy!!!


So....I guess you could say we have an interesting relationship...these cats and I!  We are definitely best frienemies!!

And I bet they keep Briggs entertained sometimes too! I know David would go crazy with one of those. You probably keep him at a safe distance...

wait...you aren't suppose to be feeding them. They eat the mice and that is their dinner. If you feed them they stop eating the mice. At least that is how we always handled our cats!! Maybe if you stop feeding them cat food they will stay at a greater distance!!!
