A familar scenario for cat staff members
There you are quietly watching the box and one of the cats start acting like a dog on a grouse shoot and looking under furniture and leaping around poking paws in various places. Spider! I yelp, but all of a sudden the cat takes off into the porch and hubby jumps up to see what is going on and capture the intruder. All of a sudden a little mouse runs past hubby who promptly loses the plot. Cat loses interest. A few minutes later back comes cat in hunting mode again and son joins in the search, all of a sudden cat disappears behind one sofa and we hear scrabbling, pull sofa out and see mouse! Yes! We've got it - No! off it belts again with cat in pursuit towards me, by this time we're all laughing and frantically moving another sofa and the coffee table, and there he is again. We leave it to the cat, who can move quicker than any of us, who, finally gets mouse and dashes off into garden. In comes Lennie no. 2 cat and the normal mouser/ratter supreme who's missed all the fun, to stop the mouse being tortured we shake the 'Dreamies' box - mouse is rescued because cats come in for treats, and order (and furniture) is restored. Collapse on sofa and have missed a chunk of 'Who do you think you are?" .............
