Mousie Switching Hour?
It seems Midnight is the witching hour--or is it the Mousing Hour? Depending upon whom you are rooting for. It may be the Cat Confounding Hour as well.
The Team Mousers have been hanging around the kitchen stove all day. Finally, Wizzy decided to get flat and crawl under the sink toward the back of the stove tonight.
Delight! Delight for a Cat. He flushed the mouse out, just after Husband thought about heading to bed. I came out to turn out the lights—and there is the little black mouse (I’ve never really seen a Black Mouse before, mostly grey or white mice, but this one is decidedly the blackest of black) running across the floor. The cats and mouse went into a wild frenzy for about two minutes, tops (that can seem like a long time, especially if you’ve ever been in a real earthquake, which is what pouncing cats must seem like to a mouse) then Mousie ran under the piano again. Sigh. Both Miscevil and Mr. Wizard are feeling a bit foolish once again, but trying to discourage all scrutiny of their Paw-ful mistakes by sitting in front of Mousie’s latest fortress looking very attentive.
I’m afraid I’ll have to feed the mouse again, as they keep keeping it a prisoner but cannot seem to catch it. In all fairness the cats get their meal twice every day, should not I keep their adversary at least as nourished? Especially as they seem to not be able to let it go or catch it either? Not Mousie's fault.
One trouble is, no matter how much I feed the cats they still want to kill the mouse. (They are hard-wired for that, it’s not evil, it is their nature as predators.) T

Prey kill instinct. Still rooting for the cat.
