Allow me to introduce you to Mimi, one of three members of the BRD's cat family.
And while she appears to be lying back, relaxing, contemplating the meaning of the universe . . what she's actually doing is waiting for Gayle to throw her mouse.
No, not a real mouse.
A small fabric replica with which the cats love to play.
But there's one odd fact in this family.
Gayle has taught her various cats over the years not only to play with their "mice", tossing them around and in the air and catching them again, but also to "fetch" them back to her to be tossed yet again.
I've heard of dogs doing this but never, except for Gayle's pets, for a cat to do it.
I learn something every day.
